Say goodbye to blog commenting for backlinks?

Well I just got to nuke a whole bunch of comments in one shot. Removed a wordpress site completely and moved to a straight HTML page. Loving it and no comment spam to moderate at all..

You do realize these tools are posting to hundreds of blogs in about 2 minutes flat? They're not reading your warning, and probably don't care.

Unless they specifically blacklist your domain whenever they scrape it will come up with your blog for the keywords they're searching for. If they're doing a lot of related keyword lists and scraping thousands of sites, you will be in there hundreds of times if you also use those related keywords. They were either lazy or stupid and didn't filter out duplicate domains/pages.

Not that I would know anything about that sort of thing...

Right on. Leave off the rss feed and you won't get splogged all over either.

So, you're saying he should leave off the /rss so people don't pick up his content and post mini-snippets of it, which ...when posted.... provides automated, "viral-in-nature", hands-free backlinks?

Blog Commenting for backlinks still a good way to get backlinks as long as It's not a spamming commenting.

Quality commenting is as much an awareness endeavor as anything so there's no harm in continuing that practice.
