Speaking of which – after reading what you said – what is the best way to get back links? I was told back links are 98% of the battle for SEO. Is that true? Could that change because it's like a gimmick (as Google always seems to switch it up to keep adwords revenue high.)

Ok i put my name with a keyword. Hope that is ok. I'm kinda new on marketing and searching engines. Any help is appreciated. My email is in the comment thingy.

I recently implemented dofollow on my blog comments. My criteria are similar but not quite as stringent as yours.

For me as long as the comment adds value to my post, and the linked website is also somewhat relevant / not spam, I will allow that comment.

In learning to have a DoFollow, I’ve come across your site. Just subscribed via email and looking forward to visiting here often. And not just for the link love you understand, ahem

This is a good method to keep spammers away … but you need to be more specific than “delays DoFollow love” because if they see it is a real limit then is possible to skip spamming

Hi Macnerdz,

Yeah. But if you’re using Lucia Linky love when they occassionally get through, the link they get on their drive by comments means nothing.

Hi Craig,

I don’t know what would possess someone, but I hope it’s something painful, LOL. I don’t know if Lucia’s plugin is currently compatible with Typepad but there’s a link to it at the end of every post.

Hi Jon,

The graphic is for the DoFollow policy. The place you originally left your comment is fine. Welcome.

Hi Sacx,

True, but that’s why I go with Lucia’s plugin. Thanks for catching that spammer, I deleted it. In the meantime, as long as it was there, it was still NoFollowed because they only made the one drive-by comment. You have to get to a certain number for comments to count.

First of all I’m glad to see other people joining to “dofollow revolution”.

Manual spamming is our big problem right now … is hard to elude if is a spam message or not … for example I just read above my comment: “thanks for your dofollow” posted by a “Chat”? … Beware … chat’s starting posts …

Now I’m really confused as the last post I commented on said to be sure and “fill out your link?” All that was there was the DoFollow icon which I cliked on…and ended up here!

I know, I know…short-bus rider and proud of it.

Help?

Tinu,

I’ve never read your blog before, but I wanted to learn more about ‘dofollow’ and ‘nofollow’ links, and I was directed here from Google, for good reason IMHO.

I agree with your policy for giving link love to commenters, and is a topic that is not explored very often by bloggers. Since I began blogging in April, 2007, I’ve learned first-hand how frustrating comment spammers can be on blogs.

I’d like to install a plug-in like Linky Love on my blog that is hosted on Typepad. Do you know if it’s compatible? The Linky Love site that you linked to above only mentions Wordpress. If it isn’t, do you know of any good plug-ins that work with Typepad?

Thanks,
Craig

p.s.
What would possess someone to think their three-sentence comment on traveling to India will remain posted when the topic of the post is internet marketing strategy? I don’t know.

Hi Again Tinu,

I am glad to be here again

LOL thanks for sharing behind the scenes truth in SPAM world …

Yes spammers are notorious to post comments like that with offending sites in Links. Thanks to Open Source we have some awesome plugins to combat the spammers.

Best,
Mohsin
PS. Thanks again for your response.

You’re welcome Mohsin – I *do* accept compliments. I just meant that just because spam says “Thanks, nice site.” doesn’t mean I’m publishing viagra spam links. And I started out the same way you did, thinking my one day delay was enough for DoFollow/I Follow/ No No Follow.

Hi again.

LOL sorry i forgot to say THANK YOU for the post…

Wish you best and thanks again for sharing great tool,
Mohsin

Hi Tinu,

I was not aware of this comment plugin or policy before!
I have had my blogs with nofollow policy as so much comment spam
forced to do so….

But plugin like this is awesome to enforce own moderate comment policies.

I will be using it at many of my blogs soon.

Best,
Mohsin

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.
