    Hi Experts

    I have found some of blogs list as a dofollow blogs. ya they are too good to read. But the blogs under moderator control. i have submitted my comments on that blog honestly. Eventhough i am honest, they would not accept my comments and terribly rejected my comments. Why is it so?

    Do moderators do their right job? if they really dont want comment, then what is need of comment section on their blogs? Frustrating moderators wasting my precious time.....

    If you found the blogs because they are do-follow, I presume you post comments for SEO links. Moderator control is essential especially for popular blogs and high PR blogs precisely because there are too many commands which does not touch on the posts in question. They have a right to choose what to include and what to delete. It may be frustrating for you as a comment poster but I can assure you it is equally frustrating or more for a blog moderator to be clearing those tons of spamming comments.

    It's quite obvious that you are posting comments on do-follow blogs because you want the back links for SEO purposes. Otherwise, you wouldn't care whether it was followed or nofollowed. Every blog out there had better nofollow comments or strictly moderate them. You waste just as much of the moderator's time by posting on his blog as he wastes your time by not accepting your post.

    Just because you participate in the discussion and add value to the discussion does NOT mean that a moderator should accept your post and give you a followed link. The moderator should NEVER accept a post from any commentor that they are not 110% sure is a trusted site.

    If the moderator does not trust that your site is reputable and is not willing to vouch for your site's trustworthiness then the moderator SHOULD deny your post. Otherwise, if they allow a followed comment link to your site on one of their posts and your site is later penalized for violating Google's Webmaster Guidelines then the moderator's blog can also be penalized for promoting your site with a followed link. This is one of the reasons that rel="nofollow" was invented in the first place... 1) to discourage blog comment spamming by spammers and SEOs and 2) to prevent owners of blogs from being penalized for an outbound link planted by a spammer or SEO to a bad neighborhood or site known to violate Google's Webmaster Guidelines.

    we have no problem at all with comments for links on our dofollow blogs as long as they are decent quality comments.

    irrelevant one liners are not adding to the post, and unfortunately if your english isn't good enough that we know what youre talking about, that's not going up either.

    say something original, or funny, or best of all, both.

    (and dont surf in from lame dofollow search engines or Google searches that give your game away immediately either, woopra is everywhere these days ;) )

    Depending on the content of your comments, a lot of blog moderators just try to keep the comments page nice and neat. So they would only allow comments that post legitimate follow up questions, or something else insightful. They just don't want a long list of the same comments over and over again. Makes it difficult to read. I personally prefer this to blogs that accept everything, which can lead to spam.

    It's their blog, it's for them to say what does and doesn't go on. They don't have to justify anything to you; they didn't personally invite you, you're not paying them, it's not a public service.

    I get over 100 spam comments a day on one of my dofollow blogs. Askimet does a good job of marking one-liners as spam especially if a backlink URL is included with a keyword instead of author name. I don't spend any time rescuing half decent comments from Askimet - if Askimet says its spam, away it goes.

    Make sure you are posting a comment in your niche, in other words something you know well. Try to avoid posting in blogs with the intent to gain a backlink on a good PR blog. Also avoid short comments like "Great article, thanks for sharing".

    I personally run a dofollow blog with PR3 and alexa 50k. Trust me, there are many seo purpose comments and unrelated comments deleted each day from this blog. I suggest you to write more related and longer comment.

    agree with the comments... but it's more frustrating to moderate comments which are in no way related to the entry.. example entry is about the latest pizza tasted, then a comment would be just one line with why not try out purchasing online medicine here... no chance for it to be posted..

    I am a blogger and I understand the frustration created by spammers. My post is related to to dual core processor and the comment might be related to via888 ( you know). That too not one, tons of them. Even if you enabled nofollow for the comment urls,according to new google updation in PR sculpting it can harm the total PR out flow.

    This can be quite subjective. Topic related does not mean that it contribute to the overall blog. It is the rights of a blog moderator to determine what is best for the blog.
