Ethics should be considered in blog commenting.Copied comments really damage our site identity and spammers mostly use copied content for promoting their websites.Stoping spammers actually helpful in promoting ethical businesses.

I don’t now why copy and paste comments. How much faster is that then just reading the post (most of which are pretty short ) and then writing a response to it. I find that part the easiest, especially if its something i’m interested in and i always learn something new. But I suppose some people go for sheer quantity over quality and don’t mind if they write crap. Its sad that there are people out there who might ruin it for others because of their self serving, unethical actions.

Most bloggers use Akismet plus some other plugin in combination to slow them down but we still have a ton of moderating to do.

Hi Nick,

That sounds like an ingenious idea. I have forwarded it on to my WordPress Ninja to see if you would like to test it.

Have you read my posts about Supporting Small Businesses? There are many links at the bottom of that post that may interest you.

Hi Audrey,

One big issue is that most business owners have little to no understanding of what SEOs do and have no idea whether the company they hired is spamming blogs or not.

It is difficult to keep an eye on what a company does when you have no idea what it even is that you paid to have done. We all need to tell our friends and businesses we frequent not to hire companies that cold call and email them without asking someone knowledgeable about Internet marketing.

I keep telling people not to spend a dime without asking me first but they often forget and end up getting burnt. If anyone needs assistance and doesn’t know someone who can advise them they can ask me at no cost.

Hello Aidan,

Manually approving comments is one option but I choose not to because it reduces the incentive for Social Media savvy commentators to share my content. See my post that explains how blog commenting and sharing greatly increases traffic to blogs.
