    What? LMAO. Spam blog comments are spam blog comments, legit comments that add to the conversation are legit comments. Who said that all blog comments are spam?

    Not all blog comment are considered as spam. As long as you legitimately reply to a blog post which is relevant to the conversation thread, it is not spam.

    If the person who has commented is adding some value to the article or is participating in a discussion then I don't think its Spamming. Spammers don't care about the articles !!:D

    It can be spam. If it's random "great site, thanks for writing" crap it is spam.

    On the other hand: If it's a contributing comment, you've deserved your backlink.

    it depends on what content is . if the content is useful , you must not think that it is spam, or if meaningless, you will neither think that is so important!

    This is very bad idea. Commenting is not all about spam. Its main purpose is to share idea about the specific article but only some people choose to get backlink by spamming on comments.

    I think of spam as spam, regardless of how it finds its way onto the Internet. To me, a comment is a gift. My blog is new and getting people to comment is very difficult right now. I've learned a lot just reading these forums on how to involve readers and invite legitimate comments, and I can't wait to start using those tips. I am also bombarded with spam comments, which is expected.

    A thoughtful comment from a real visitor is not spam but the biggest compliment a visitor could pay you. Not only do they think your post is worth spending time commenting on, it also adds to the content.

    No not at all!!! :eek: Blog Commenting can't be a Spam because they are very popular only for its commenting features... Without Blog comments, there is no life in a blog.

    Ya Spam blog comments can be called as a spam but they are different & can be blocked by wp plugins like Akismet.

    Spam comments are usually quite clearly spam...Here is a recent one Askimet blocked on my blog:

    The blog post was a tutorial about a wordpress plugin...

    If you are commenting, try to make a comment relevant to the actual blog post, ask a question or contribute your knowledge. Something like "great post" will get your comment removed from my blog...

    I don't think blog commenting is spam as long as you don't just go there and say "Hey Nice Post" As long as you write something meaningful its all good

    As long as the comment adds something to the article, or conversation - no, its not spam.

    Its when a bot hits the site and post unrelated comments, or ads,,,, that is when it becomes spam.

    If you are not providing any type of feedback or asking a question or adding something of value then yes it can be looked upon as spam.

    I do not think commenting generally as spamming too. As long as it is still related to the topics. As for me, some people who just copy and paste part of your blogs for the comment, or just put their links on the comment can be regarded as spammer. But still, thanking the blog poster for the post is a good one for me ^^ It shows an appreciation :D

    Some comments are spam and you can tell right away, if the comment they make has nothing to do with what you wrote that is spam. If they add value to the article then I don't consider it spam. But if they write nice post on 20 of your posts I consider that spam and will report it.
