Hi. My website was marked as spammer after a campaign of link building. I wrote about 15-20 comments / day about 2 months ago. Today I cannot comment about any blog. I send already a mail to askimet and askimet respond me: your website was removed from banner list. Anyway, today i cannot post any comment. I receive: rejected - message or a blank page. Can you tell me how to repair this mistake please ???
looks like some blog owner(s) reported to akismet considering your comments as spam. if you didn;t spam any blog, then you can contact akismet and explain them your situation but you should be more responsible with your blog commenting
Yes. I've just contacted Askimet today and ask to remove me from spammer list. I hope i will receive a positive answer.
ya...Akismet takes some days, and they remove it from the spammers list. But be sure that you do not enter comments so fast and so small that again you could be caught up
Recently one of my blogs has just been bombarded with spam posts. Thankfully I have to approve them before they go live. But dang! They come in droves!
You should use Fast Blog Finder . It's great and works very well (i used just Demo version - semifunctionally).
Same thing happened here. Kind of sucks because there is no control over whether or not you get added to akismet. If the webmaster of the site you post on marks your comment as spam (whether or not it truly is) then you get added to askismet's spam filter and can never post a comment with that URL again. Pretty lame IMO.
Can you simply post from a different IP address to get around the ban? Since bloggers can independantly define what spam is you are at the mercy of their idea as to what is spam. I have always added a blog comment that added to the blog post, always read the post and add my opinion, not just "nice post" or some other inane comment, yet I am banned! I have three blogs and an idiot knows what is a spam effort versus a "real" comment but I know that some blogs look at any commercial site is likely if not certainly trying to get a link back so marking it as spam is a handy way of "payback" for all the crappy spam they/we do get. I know the spam is annoying as well over 70% of the comments on my blogs are spam. Sad fact and while akismet is a worthwhile tool it is misused by bloggers as well. While I agreewith sultanofseo "but you should be more responsible with your blog commenting " It is also true that being responsible in this context is in the view of every blog, not a clear, specific written rule rather an opinion of bloggers, many who grapple with whether to go with a do follow policy and get bombarded with blog comments or have a no follow policy and less traffic. Of course be discreet, careful and mindful of posting responsibility but often that is not enough.
15 to 20 comments a day? Dude, can you thoroughly read 15 to 20 blog posts in a day to make an intelligent comment (assuming that you still have other things to do in a day aside form just commenting on blogs, like maybe eating or getting a social life)? Comments are supposed to be for discussion of the topic presented in the article or blog. If your comments are nothing but "nice post" or "i'm so glad I can still find people willing to help" and other motherly nonsense, and match that with typing "keywords" in the name field, people can clearly see that you're only posting comments for the sake of getting backlinks and you're not interested in what they are saying.
