Reasons to stop spam comments is not the way to promote your blog

Author: delta | Files under Blogging

Basically, there are three words that can describe accurately the spam: desperate, manipulative, evil. While that may sound like a summary of some soap opera villain, rings true for every one of us who have never been burned by spam. Spam is an example of why sometimes the media does not justify the end.

True, the goal is to build buzz for your blog, but the technique used is simply wrong. If you’re planning to leave spam comments on other websites anytime soon, we know that is not the way to promote your blog. On the contrary, it may even do harm to your blog without knowing it.

Understand comment spam

Spam comments began his bad seed sprouting online guest books, when it began to appear on Web sites. Unscrupulous website owners and marketers bombarded these guest books with links (many of them even used purely links) to spammers′ websites. If any comment is included at all, it may contain very generic as “cool post ‘or’ great website” or “beautiful page.”

Spam appears in almost anything these days, including blogs, often in the form of a commentary. How does this is fairly simple. Any blogger who wants to promote his blog can simply write keyword-heavy texts in the guise of a comment, and then put it in another random blog or website. Sites of hyperlinks that allow displays are usually the main targets.

The problem here is that this type of comment is not helpful at all. Is done at random, similar to throwing darts at a huge target, while the use of a bandage in the hope of achieving something, anything.

Why does the comment spam does not work for you

Leaving spam comments to your blog may seem tempting, but enough is better to avoid it. That is, if you want to be taken seriously and see his blog last long enough for his grandchildren to appreciate. Here are the reasons for leaving spam comments to your blog is not the way forward:

You are being observed

These days, spam and once you brand someone for life. Or, at least, the blog of business or you’re trying to promote what will be. The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 makes sure spam is controlled and no one can wave around like a weapon.

Become associated with spam is bad news for your blog. People spam … Hatred period. They will be more than happy to inform your host provider, or its affiliated companies and avoid his blog entirely. And yes, Akismet and a host of other plug-ins designed to combat spam will be watching.

You will be penalized

To stop spam comments on another site for the sole purpose of promoting your blog, website, which give the owner permission to become a witness against you. His host provider cut ties with you and if you are using your blog to promote an affiliate of the products, including its subsidiary will leave.

If that happens, you’ll have to start all over again from scratch, with a tarnished reputation. If you leave any further comment spam in the future, you can only repeat the cycle again, all to his detriment.

It is regarded as little

Leave comment spam to promote a blog is for the lazy, fasting and desperate. Why would use a technique that is generally regarded as unpleasant? If you are not enough, visitors will find it difficult to trust you again.

You would be violating some unwritten codes

The reason why the comments are allowed on the websites is to provide a platform for people with whom they interact. Blogs, forums and discussion boards are great places for meeting, open to people regardless of age, sex, location or personal beliefs, with the implicit agreement that those involved will be respected for their beliefs.

To stop spam comments on these sites, primarily to promote his blog, is to break this code of confidence.

Leave comment spam can increase your blog’s ranking … Artificially

Despite an artificial increase in the ranking may mean good news for your blog (which will appear on your site for high rankings on search engines), this is just an initial effect, as a type of anesthesia. Soon, they take off.

This is especially true if your blog has nothing more to offer. Visitors who have been forced to your blog search engine through links (which were capable of achieving artificially) will sniff around your site and if you are not there, they will soon, never to return.

Worse, the word could even prevent your site is filled with nothing but air. If you must promote your blog this way, make sure you have the content for visitors to stay.
