Hey , I have an article directory > www.ArticleMesh.com , and I just started making backlinks and research , I read most of the topics in this forum and found the High PR dofollow blogs , now the problem , whenever I post a comment on any dofollow blog (and I DO mean a real comment) , the page just redirects to the blog page again , my comments don't undergo moderation . Meanwhile , If I post a comment without entering ArticleMesh.com in the website box , the comment displays as awaiting moderation :/ WHY is this happening ? Can someone please help out a bit ?
The DoFollow blogs will have an anti-spam filter using Akismet or something similar. If you make a comment that the admin of the site deems to be spammy then they can mark it as spam. If multiple site owners do this then your site, email and IP will be flagged by the anti-spam service and it won't allow you to post the comment. Basically you've been a naughty boy and spamming dofollow blog posts and now your website is flagged as being spam
Akismet bins 99% of the comments I get and I have given up checking the spam queue as I have never found it to be wrong. Most of the comments are lame and those that are not, are off topic. Most link builders appear to forget that they are obliged to contribute and make themselves useful in return for the link they expect.
Go to akismet, submit reconsideration, say you sorry, they'll probably forgive you, next time go slow with the spammo ok.
Nooooo , you guys have it all wrong , I just said I DO NOT POST SPAMMY COMMENTS , I myself own a few blogs and I know what it feels like to get spam , I post REAL comments that are very relevant to the article . Getting comments rejected is NOT my problem , my problem is this : Whenever I write my website articlemesh.com in the website box , and then submit my real comment , the page just reloads WITHOUT even showing that the comment was given for validation . HOWEVER , when I comment on the SAME post WITHOUT putting articlemesh.com in the website box , the comment comes up for validation . This is something to do with my domain name , I entered a random domain and It showed up for validation . Get it ? That is my problem . If anyone understands please try to help out .
You may not write spammy comments but someone who previously owned your domain did - and that has tainted your domain. Go to akismet.org to query how to remove yourself from it. FWIW - akismet is the same tool that has put your user account here into moderation so its not just your domain name that is tainted. You need some reputation management!
OK this is extremely disturbing , I have NEVER , and I do mean NEVER , spammed on any website or any other way possible . And ArticleMesh was owned by me from the get go , I have no idea what could've tainted it . Please help me out , what should I do ? This has just startled the life out of me !
Did you put keywords as your name or a real name? Akismet bans if you add certain words in the name field. Once your blacklisted you can contact them to get removed from the blacklist. Always use a real name and get anchor text links from other sources. there are 100s of other ways to build links with anchor. Those kind of links (in the name field) of blogs are devalued by Google, I think blog comments are a waste of time in most cases.
@Stevie : NO dude I never post keywords as name , I always use my own name in the name box . Like I said , no spammy features but still weird :/
Tell me what happens when you do your post using any other url instead yours own. Do you feel this problem at all blogs? Very strange!!
Any system can be integrated with akismet to check input from third parties (commentors, forum users) and its built into vBulletin. Check their website for all the info though.
@Ogle : Well to see if URLs matter , I posted a very offensive URL , AND IT GOT ACCEPTED ! Now isn't this the weirdest thing possible ? When I enter a normal website , ArticleMesh.com , it reloads the page , EVERY BLOG DOES , and when I post ANY other URL , it gets moderated . Oh but I checked , any URL with the word Article in it isn't getting posted :/
Hi xzibitcool I just like to share what I think happened when you are submitting your comment. Probably there is a bug on that website itself and the moderators might not noticed it yet that is why it is necessary for you to ask them about your issues. And do take note that sometimes there are comment box that doesn't show their validation once you click the submit button but when you check it out in a matter of 24 hours or so you can see that it was there (approved). But if I were you I'll follow the suggestions of other members to ask the moderators.
Looks like a blanket ban on the word. Spam is really nasty. Creates huge problems. Personally I love those filters. They work like a dream but as with all systems it looks as if they are prone to making some mistakes
Make sure you follow these basic rules. 1. Finding Related Blogs 2. Using The Proper "Name" When Filling Out The Name Field 3. Don’t Spam Comment
UPDATE : First of all I did contact Akismet , but I don't think Matt will get back to me , he already has hundreds of emails waiting in line . Ok now that we have that aside , I found out the issue isn't with my website , any website with the word Article in it is doing the same , like i entered some of the biggest article sites : Articlesbase.com , ArticleAlley.com , and the same thing happened . HOWEVER , then I went as far as to entering PORNPORNPORNFREE.COM in the website box and IT GOT MODERATED ! lol , strange world we live in eh ?
