		<description>I hear you loud and clear on this one! In fact, I have often written about this on my own blog. I also love the ones who are &#039;referring&#039; to other websites that &quot;I might find helpful&quot;.  I would find them a lot more helpful if they had anything to do with what I&#039;m doing.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The other ones that crack me up &quot;I find your blog very interesting and will add it to my bookmarks&quot;. They often link to gambling sites in their urls, and other useless sites. I thank you for bring this to the forefront, you have a far greater reach than I do!</description>

		<description>Yes I agree that the number one enemy of some site are spammers and I don&#039;t have idea on how to avoid them because they do way to enter your site. Maybe putting some security code on your program could avoid them.</description>

		<description>Lee,&lt;br&gt;I enjoyed your talk here in Louisville on SEO for PR ... sorry I couldn&#039;t join you and Jason for drinks at Proof on Main however.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Onto the topic at hand:&lt;br&gt;Little known secret to be exposed: I&#039;ve often viewed you as one of the &quot;blog comment police,&quot; but I have a differing perspective, and here is why:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If someone takes the time to come to my blog, contribute a legitimate thought/opinion and adds true VALUE, I frankly don&#039;t care what they want to call themselves (non-offensive to others of course). As long as the comment adds to the conversation, I&#039;ll look the other way on something so trivial as what they choose to call themselves. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Frankly, I&#039;ve got better things to do than to worry about than whether &quot;SEO Dallas&quot; is really &quot;John Doe&quot; or &quot;Betsy Sells.&quot; If they help make my blog more valuable because of their comment, &quot;SEO Dallas&quot; works fine. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;d much rather have the valuable contribution than to say (in the nerdiest voice I could possibly muster while putting my pocket protector in along with the masking taped glasses) &quot;hey John Doe, you didn&#039;t use a real sounding name so your comment is now getting discarded as spam.&quot; I mean, how many people use names that aren&#039;t their real ones when commenting anyway? What&#039;s the difference? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let&#039;s say I call myself &quot;Roger Bauer&quot; (my real name) in this comment, but I call myself &quot;John Holmes&quot; (obviously NOT my real name) in the next one ... am I spamming you next time even if the comments are relevant and contribute value? Get my drift yet?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Besides, how much is that link really worth in the grand scheme to be worrying about what someone entered into the name field today? The comment is more valuable than knit picking over whether they used their real name or not.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That said, saying &quot;hey Lee, nice blog&quot; or &quot;I hadn&#039;t thought of that so I&#039;m going to bookmark your blog so I can revisit it,&quot; doesn&#039;t contribute anything for anybody so that&#039;s spam even if somebody uses their &quot;real name.&quot; Ya feel me?    &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just contribute value and everything takes care of itself whether you want to call yourself &quot;Lee Odden&quot; or &quot;Top Rank.&quot;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To each their own,  &lt;br&gt;Roger&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PS--before people pile on ... my real name is taken on Disqus (probably by me, but I don&#039;t recall the password and don&#039;t feel like jumping through 7 gazillion hoops right now to reset it) so I resorted to a &quot;handle&quot; (i.e. secondary account).</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lee,<br />I enjoyed your talk here in Louisville on SEO for PR &#8230; sorry I couldn&#39;t join you and Jason for drinks at Proof on Main however.  </p>
<p>Onto the topic at hand:<br />Little known secret to be exposed: I&#39;ve often viewed you as one of the &#8220;blog comment police,&#8221; but I have a differing perspective, and here is why:</p>
<p>If someone takes the time to come to my blog, contribute a legitimate thought/opinion and adds true VALUE, I frankly don&#39;t care what they want to call themselves (non-offensive to others of course). As long as the comment adds to the conversation, I&#39;ll look the other way on something so trivial as what they choose to call themselves. </p>

<p>I&#39;d much rather have the valuable contribution than to say (in the nerdiest voice I could possibly muster while putting my pocket protector in along with the masking taped glasses) &#8220;hey John Doe, you didn&#39;t use a real sounding name so your comment is now getting discarded as spam.&#8221; I mean, how many people use names that aren&#39;t their real ones when commenting anyway? What&#39;s the difference? </p>
<p>Let&#39;s say I call myself &#8220;Roger Bauer&#8221; (my real name) in this comment, but I call myself &#8220;John Holmes&#8221; (obviously NOT my real name) in the next one &#8230; am I spamming you next time even if the comments are relevant and contribute value? Get my drift yet?  </p>
<p>Besides, how much is that link really worth in the grand scheme to be worrying about what someone entered into the name field today? The comment is more valuable than knit picking over whether they used their real name or not.  </p>
<p>That said, saying &#8220;hey Lee, nice blog&#8221; or &#8220;I hadn&#39;t thought of that so I&#39;m going to bookmark your blog so I can revisit it,&#8221; doesn&#39;t contribute anything for anybody so that&#39;s spam even if somebody uses their &#8220;real name.&#8221; Ya feel me?    </p>
<p>Just contribute value and everything takes care of itself whether you want to call yourself &#8220;Lee Odden&#8221; or &#8220;Top Rank.&#8221;  </p>
<p>To each their own,  <br />Roger</p>
<p>PS&#8211;before people pile on &#8230; my real name is taken on Disqus (probably by me, but I don&#39;t recall the password and don&#39;t feel like jumping through 7 gazillion hoops right now to reset it) so I resorted to a &#8220;handle&#8221; (i.e. secondary account).</p>

		<description>Good comments do occasionally get trapped - that&#039;s the only reason I check them and have to put up with scrolling through the obvious spam in the first place. Otherwise, I wouldn&#039;t even go into the dark den of filtered spam comments. I don&#039;t like shutting off comments, as old posts can stir value-added conversation, like one I stumbled on just yesterday from 1995. On About Home Business, the post that attracts the most spam has the word &quot;forum&quot; in the title - 99.99999% of the comments on that post are spam and have nothing at all to do with forums, let alone the forum I was talking about in the post.</description>

		<description>I like the idea of this, although I&#039;m not sure I&#039;d want to limit it to just one or two. My thinking is, if you are such a dumbass that you think this is how SEO works, and you continue to do it even though your comments never get approved, you deserve what you get.</description>

		<description>I agree with this issue.  It is tough, because sometimes some of these spammers make really good, planned out comments that contribute to the topic of a blog post...at least this is what happens on my SEO blog.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I sometimes will let the keyword stuffing names go through if the comment is intelligent and good enough, but generally they are deleted.  It is apparent when someone wants to comment, just to get a link (even a &quot;no follow&quot; ed one).</description>

		<description>I love all the really generic stuff, like, &quot;Great Site. I&#039;ll be bookmarking it&quot; or &quot;this is a really important topic.&quot; Lately we&#039;ve been getting things like giant lists of links.  Annoying.&lt;br&gt;I think it&#039;s totally the prerogative of the blog owner to have &quot;no follow links&quot; and to block all the lame spam.  I don&#039;t think 1st amendment rights apply to spammers.&lt;br&gt;We use Askimet and it is pretty great. We haven&#039;t had it mislabel anything as spam that wasn&#039;t.  Yet.</description>

		<description>As you say Larry, it&#039;s up to each blog owner as to what their preferences are. However, I&#039;d say you can go wrong with useful, insightful comments. Adding value never goes out of style :)   A bit pet peeve of many is the use of keywords in the name, irrelevance to the topic and gratuitous links.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just comment like you would talk in a conversation at a gathering or social networking event.  Ask questions, give answers and participate. I&#039;m sure you&#039;re doing just fine.</description>

		<description>Lee, if you are relatively new to this what advice do you have on being consistent?&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m unsure if my comments have been considered &quot;spam&quot; or not but I am trying to do this right. Comment policy varies of course from site to site, but I&#039;ve noticed the blog owners are inconsistent in selection (which is their right).</description>

		<description>Hey Devon, I think they&#039;re getting approvals with &quot;safe&quot; comments. Then it might open up the door for them to post spammy comments with links later on. Especially on older posts. Worth checking out.</description>
