Nieuwe Regels DoFollow - dankzij Andy Beard, Vanger Spam.
Grote en krachtige Andy Beard heeft spam sluimerend in onze plaats gevonden, die zich als echte commentaren vermommen!
Onze slecht voor het besteden van geen dichtere aandacht, en kudos aan hem en zijn ontzagwekkend De Marketing van het gebied blog voor het ophouden spam in zijn sporen. Iemand krijgt de man een kenteken en een zijwapen!
Ter ere van onze spommet die kapitein vangt, richten wij een officieel Beleid van de Commentaar op DoFollow. Niet meer Mej. Het meisje en de partners van Nice. Enkel omdat u typte maakt het niet tot het binnen manueel niet Spam.
De nieuwe Regels
Aangezien ik u een vrije verbinding geef, krijgt die gewoonlijk betekent u verkeer, plaatste ik de regels. Deze gaan niet iedereen beïnvloeden wie oprechte commentaren bij de plaats maakt en werkelijk deel van onze gemeenschap uitmaakt.
Zo, echte commenters? Zoals was u.
En ik dank 80% van mensen die door de regels wanneer het maken van handcommentaren spelen. U krijgt uw liefde DoFollow na een bepaald aantal posten.
Hier is hoe het werkt.
U leest iets u houdt van/niet akkoord gaat met/heeft vragen on/wrote ongeveer bij uw plaats/een goede uw-mamagrap/rotsen/zuigt u voorlegt een antwoord verdient. Dit is niet hard.
Hier is de eerlijke waarschuwing aan al anderen: als wij hebben is om het even welke reden om uw bericht te verdenken een spomment of spamment, u krijgt geen liefde - dat omvat betaalde commenters.
Als ik uw geval om grens vind te zijn, zal ik nog verbinden met mensen die niet in de spamfilter gevangen worden, maar wij zullen geen liefde DoFollow geven. Aangezien het meest aandrijving-door commenters dit niet zal lezen, stel voor ik u het elektrische toestel gebruikt DoFollow dat wij ook op uw blog hebben gebruikt, ontzagwekkende Lucia De Liefde van Linky.
Anderen, be*houd ik me het recht voor uw verbinding uit uw commentaar uit te geven - druk het of niet bij allen, in om het even welke volgende omstandigheden.
- U gebruikt uw echte naam of minstens geen fatsoenlijk handvat. Ik begrijp de verbindingsbouw zo zoals veel de volgende kerel, maar niet ben belachelijk. OMVAT minstens uw voornaam zodat kan ik in het denken misleiden wij eigenlijk gaan plakken.
- You leave a link other than the one in the form. Seriously it takes up too much of my time to be fishing you out of the moderation queue all the time.
- You leave a nonsensical or ass-kissing comment. If you’re going to praise the blog or the post, be sincere and specific. I have plenty of worshippers offline, but you have to apply in person.
These rules can change at any time. Free links are for Real Comments.
Rewards for Spam Catching.
If you catch a spam comment that we miss, you totally pwn that comment and we’ll give you a free permanent link somewhere.
In the meantime, we’re using Lucia’s Linky Love Plugin, which delays DoFollow love, and that gives us a chance to catch spam that occasionally still gets through.

And what if I have weird parents and they named me SEO Consultant? It’s not fair
Seriously though, it’s a good idea to get a comment policy going. I’ve been pondering it for months now and just haven’t gotten to it, but I think I will today.
Nice blog by the way. I’ve been reading Andy’s blog and participating in other dofollow blogs and just came across yours. I’ll try to stop by a few times a week at least.

Forgot to mention, the “read more” link is broken on this post.
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:40 pm
Wow i just stumbled upon your site, good info here! One thing i dont like is that i have to leave my name? i just want to leave the name of my site, thats a pretty well established practice.
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:48 pm
No, that’s actually borderline spam. I’ve edited your name to Anonymous. Please click the link below the comment box and read our comment policy. Or, you know, read the post that you’re commenting on.
August 24th, 2007 at 2:02 am
Hey Josh,
You got caught in the spam filters, I just fished your link out. I know you said you were kidding, but to answer your question, you can say SEO Consultant, Josh Spaulding, vice versa, or even just Josh - that way you’re getting your keyword in there and we can still start a relationship.
Besides, wouldn’t you rather increase your chances of having a blogger write a whole post about you with a link that you don’t have to share?
Of course, that last comment was more directed at the person you followed you.
Anyway, thanks for coming by and I’m looking forward to browsing through your site.
September 1st, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Nice post. I like the spam catching reward for humans. Sorry for the praise
I totally agree that name should be a person’s name (if they want to leave some worthwhile comment without a real name - then don’t include a website either.
September 1st, 2007 at 5:12 pm
lol @ sorry for the praise.
Welcome John. Feel free to share praising thoughts. I meant insincere pretend-praise in the name of “please publish my comment”. Especially since they aren’t moderated.
See you again soon I hope!

Dofollow bloggers are doing you a favor. Show some manners and contribute something relevant. Pay for your link, if that’s all your there for.
I have actually become a reader of several blogs that I admit I only first visited because they were dofollow. Dofollow benefits the host too, by increasing comments. However, I certainly don’t blame anyone for deleting posts that serve no purpose other than to get the link.
September 4th, 2007 at 11:56 am
Word! And welcome.
September 7th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
Comment #3 fits your spam profile by the way. I’m curious how you enforce the policy? It is a plugin (and where can I get it for blogger) or a manual enforcement? Right now I have my blog comments set to moderation so I can approve or reject them out of hand. I had to set it that way because I was deluged by commentors with links to their own competitive blogs in my city. Even though it was no follow, it was still bad form. I like the fact that you reward frequent commentors. Reward those that are rewarding you with traffic.
September 7th, 2007 at 5:32 pm
That’s why I changed comment number three to Anonymous. The plugin is called Lucia Linky Love - I don’t have the link handy but you can Google it. Moderation discourages commenting because the instant gratification and sharing aspect is gone. With Akismat and Lucia Linky Love (or other DoFollow plugins) I don’t have to worry about being spammed with comments. Even if they get through, the NoFollow isn’t effective until a certain point, so cheaters won’t get followed anyway.

I like you more every day Tinu
I’ve been looking for that plugin, but was too lazy to email you. About to install it right now.
Thanks!!
September 7th, 2007 at 5:47 pm
Well Josh, I’m happy to help. And when you have questions, feel free to comment if you’re feeling too lazy to email.
We LIKES questions.

Do you know if it works with Drupal? I’m converting my main site to a drupal powered one and incorporating a blog into it. I think it uses the blogger api.
September 8th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
No clue - you’d have to ask Lucia. I’d also Google “Drupal dofollow”. And check the group at Bumpzee that Andy Beard runs. I don’t remember how you edit Drupal templates as I haven’t used one in about two years, however, if the templates are like Google’s Blogger, then you should be able to edit out DoFollow from the html without affecting the functionality if you’re careful, in which case you don’t need a plugin.
September 9th, 2007 at 6:48 am
Well i appreciate this initiative, indeed is a good way to keep people making more comments and to seem your blog is more active.
September 11th, 2007 at 5:00 pm
Those are exactly the 3 criteria I use when weeding out spam comments. I think if someone is good enough to read your post and say something about it, then they deserve their link. This is the point of the whole dofollow movement - relevant comments get a link, spam sites do not. Very simple.
September 11th, 2007 at 6:14 pm
Exactly. You want people to be rewarded for their comments. But then you have to deal with people who take advantage of that kindness.
September 12th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
I use dofollow on my blog. Lately though, I’ve been getting a lot of “nice post” or “I agree with what the last commentator said” comments. I’m moderating comments more than ever! I’ve started using Lucia’s Linky Love, which gives you more control over the dofollow. It’s gotten so bad, I’m posting a list of rules directly above my comment form in the hope of discouraging some of the non-meaningful comments.
September 12th, 2007 at 11:46 pm
Welcome Walter.
Especially the DoFollowers need to have comment policies. I had a really loose one before and let some of the borderline stuff slide, but then it got out of control and I thought about it.
And what I really needed was a way to reward regular commenters and be able to block people who make wack one-off comments without even reading the policy, and give people who comment in passing the chance to get juice. I don’t care if someone tries to game my system as long as the comment they leave is meaningful and advances the conversation, I’m fine with giving them a free link.
What Lucia’s Linky Love allows us to do is ignore the one-off frivolous comments because they aren’t going to get a dofollow link anyway. If they leave a bare minimum comment, they can get a bare minimum reward.
So don’t let it worry you Too much. Just keep engaging with the people who leave real, sincere, repeat comments.
And greet everyone who leaves even one - that’s part of how you tell the real commenters from the paid bots. Even when they engage you can tell it’s fake. 
September 13th, 2007 at 12:36 am
actually, your rules is enough to detect that someone who will comment here aims to spam and not really comment.
By letting the first name be the name on the comment, you eliminate anchor linking already.
and most of all, number 3- you eliminate already those who do not read your post and just go fly away with a comment
September 13th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
Hi Chino,
Well they are Now… was talking about Before these rules came up.
Very observant, though. And thank you for commenting.

It is obvious that you all put a lot of work into this site! Thanks for the observations and comments. Keep up the good work!

I appreciate that Julie, thank you. Come back anytime!
September 27th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
Its ironic that many bloggers talk about this but then they actually use no follow.
September 27th, 2007 at 8:24 pm
That’s true but they may also be using Lucia’s Linky Love plugin or something similar to reward frequent commentors. I thought Tinu was nofollowing everyone a few weeks ago until Andy set me straight and let me know that she was actually using Lucia’s Linky Love plugin.
September 27th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
Well, Bape, I made this post because repeated abuse of what was Automatic DoFollow led to a situation where I switched to a plugin that removes no follow after a certain number of posts.
Click the link below that says “DoFollow the Smart Way” for more details. Though you’re right, there are people who do that.
October 1st, 2007 at 8:17 am
I tried submitting a comment earlier, but it blew off. Hope this one succeeds. I understand we accumulate links this way. Now what is your policy to our creating a signature link that gives more information about our website?
October 4th, 2007 at 2:41 pm
You know, Bape is a man of many words, who uses the exact same phrase on every dofollow blog he comments on.
Subscribing to comments on many real discussions and you see this little stream of messages from the same person.
October 4th, 2007 at 3:05 pm
OMG. What a tool. Seems like he wants to be blacklisted.
