Do You Delete This Typical Comment ?

I get a lot of comments which are shaped like this:

"Great information, thank you

http://hissite.com "

What do you do when you have such comments? Delete it or just let it be?
Please participate in the poll

Thanks

 

Its spam, delete it.

 

I get such comments everyday.

99.9% of comments with links are spam.

DELETE.

 

Delete it, it's almost certainly spam.

 

Delete it! It's all spam.

 

If it is a decent site and another blog, I go and leave my own link and check in a couple of days, if my link is there, than I leave it.

If it is a crap site or no place to put my link I delete the link and leave the comment. .

 

That's probably a better strategy.

 

Better strategy indeed. Don't feel bad for the guy who left the comment; he probably left 100 in one hour and already expects to be tagged as spam in 99% of the cases. He probably wont ever come back anyway.

 

The missing option on the poll is "Let your spam protection software deal with it".

 

delete it, no short comments

 

Akismet is good for sorting those indeed.

 

Thanks for the replies. I have a few of these comments and I regretted that I did not delete them immediately. Now I know that this is a common SPAM practice. Thanks!

 

till date
I never got such comments I always got sensible comments on my blogs and for spam comments akismet does my work easier

 

If it ain't useful content, then it has to go ... content, content, content

 

I sometimes get comments with an author URL, a short text and another URL in the end. Usually the links are related to my website, so I leave the author URL but delete the URL in the comment.

 

It doesn't really matter if you are using wordpress and haven't changed the default nofollow tag. The links are useless in google's eyes... although it is spam.

 

delete it...thats how most people advertise their sites

 

just a crap comment. keep delete it, this kind of comment not very friendly with search engine

 

Leave it:

If Akismet didn't take care of it, then use your time more wisely and instead go to the commenter's website and leave a comment yourself like that so that your website is also linking to his and thus you get more traffic.

Don't waste your time on things that will in the long-term accrue to let's say 1 full day of work per year deleting those comments.. .remember TIME = MONEY.

 

If that's a normal site and normal comment then just leave it and go to that site and comemnt. Even tough that comment was meant to get a backlink, you also get a good testiminial which may improve your site's reputation.

Any bad and adult links should be crashed

Also see if the commenter has a normal name like topgun123 or any thing....it should not be like buy this..... most spammers use blog names or product names in their own name...
