Even if just trying to get link juice, say something that contributes to the topic. As far as the Guru program, I feel that is truly comment spam. They aren't even building the sites for themselves. geeze I see no problem with commenting, as Im sure you feel the same way, If you have something to say.

Other than that there are no other options. i supose the main thing I would be interested in is whether or not I should allow links to be followed. Currently I've set it to nofollow the main options with Typolight are a captcha to stop automated posts and in general moderating comments before they go live.

We're and SEO and Internet Marketing agency and recently relaunched our site with an independent news resource. I've turned bb code off so that no links can be posted in the comment area and added nofollow tags to the uri, however, we still get spam posts even though we have nofollow on. I can only imagine what would happen if we allowed bbcode and switched from the tag from no to do. What would you suggest. Regards Nigel Hi Andy,

Everybody is fighting for back links these days. DoFollow movement is a new lead, so why not exploit it, right? Don't you make use of it? Don't you comment on other people blogs and be happy with the links back to you? I think everybody does his job the best way he can. I agree that spamming blogs is not good but if the person comment is a value to the post itself but uses keywords in name, for ex, then it is OK, in my opinion. However, I hate those "Yeah, I know what you mean" type of comments. It may be considered as some kind of spam but you can not accuse them too much. Everybody is fighting for back links these days.

DoFollow seems to make sense to me these days with web 2.0 and fostering reader interaction and community. But, as with everything online, there will be those that abuse it. I signed up to one of those "mentoring" programs because I was curious. I never started because I found out that I would be working to create traffic to the mentors website, and not as an affiliate.
