You can’t really stop yourself from getting spam. It’s just the way the cookie crumbles, lol. But, seriously all you need to do is maybe make people register to post comments. That will stop 99% of spammers.

Well, i totally agree. All do follow blogs receive spam because commentators wants to receive inlinks. The best way to stop it is using akismet and waiting for moderation so that you can scan all your incoming comments.

I’ve just switched my blog over to “dofollow” and have also implemented the keywordluv plugin.

I’ve read tonnes of posts about people complaining about the huge increase in spam when they take this step but I thought it might be worth a ashot to see if I can get an increase in traffic.

Maybe some of those who comment will return to read future posts? Or maybe I’m being too optimistic )

What an interesting post.

I am currently in the process of explaining to my boss the benefits of “do follow” blogs – increased traction and traffic, added content and blog loyalty – however, your post has certainly given me food for thought on the potential pitfalls.

Many thanks,

Katie
