I need an opinion before I delete a comment on one of my posts ( I am new to blogging, so I don't receive much traffic, or comments). I recently posted a blog entry about using Elance for hiring freelance web designers, content writers etc...I received one comment on the post which really doesn't have anything to do with the post, but it does relate to the overall site content. (SEO, Business, Affiliate Marketing) Here is the Comment: Flow Choice, business-consulting company, has just released a very intelligent SEO toolkit. Using artificial intelligence, the products can actually intelligently analyze your competition giving you a more accurate outlook for your websites…. Interesting....but nothing to do with the post. Are there some general rules as to when to delete and when to now. I am sure that ultimately, it is my call, but I just thought I would put the question out there.
Your blog, your rules. I have a simple policy for my blogs and that is no swearing and no blasphemy. The rest even if spam asking for clicks I ignore it and leave it.
Some points: - Since the comment is not related to the post, it's obvious there is something wrong - The comment is not original, he just copy/pasted from the post of his blog - He is just advertising a product Doesn't it seem a bit suspicious? Do a whois on both domains involved - flowchoice.com and jrbtech.com - see anything similar? Yes, the contact e-mails (flowchoice@gmail.com), the address, the host, etc. To me, this means they're the same person. I consider this spam... but like Emperor said, your blog = your rules.
Exactly. Your blog = your rules about posting. In my case, I don't leave it up if it's suspicious looking. The first day I blogged, I got three comments from three spammers. It was quite depressing, actually.
Thanks miked, daone, and emperor for your input. Good idea about checking the whois, daone. Kind of what I figured. I appreciate on-topic comments on my blog, so to me this looks like comment spam. Maybe I need to make a comment policy (I don't have one) just so people are aware. I read a decent policy on problogger.net that I can adapt to my tastes. Thanks Again.
Tina, suffering from a pharmaceutical emergency, decided she needed a vioxx lawyer. Needing a Vioxx lawyer, she looked for a Vioxx layer in the phone book, which did not have a Vioxx lawyer under the pharmaceutical section. She looked for a Vioxx Lawyer for her pharmaceutical emergency for hours, and at last solved her pharmaceutical emergency by finding a Vioxx lawyer at my site. She's happy with her Vioxx lawyer and her pharmaceutical emergency is not a pharmaceutical emergency anymore thanks to her new Vioxx lawyer. How's that?
