The Great Comment Experiment

Saturday, April 17th, 2010 at 7:07 am

I have decided to start the Great Comment Experiment on my website. I have a fairly open policy with comments on my blogs, but there are extremes. I don’t like people linking their website to mine with irrelevant links.

If you are just spamming websites with comments, you are obviously not keeping up with the current conventionality on what really helps your website get noticed. I had a comment added today to this site, for running criminal background checks. What’s up with that? Link it to a website that makes sense. Oh, the comment was nice enough. So, that part I don’t mind keeping.

So now, I am going into the comment via the edit comment functionality in WordPress, and changing the link to something relevant. That way, when you click on the person’s name in the comment, you get something worth looking at. If you have a site related to mine, let me know, and I’ll link some back to you!

If you want to just spam websites, be warned. My comments links will be put to good use. Join the campaign to see what this does for your SEO ratings.
