Maybe I’m just in a grumpy mood lately but I’ve been finding myself getting increasingly annoyed by the amount of comments people try to leave on this blog that appear to be legit but are really just spam comments in disguise.

If you own a blog, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Those people who use keywords (instead of their actual name) as their name, knowing it will create a hyperlink of those keywords. Typically they aren’t bloggers. I get everything from pet food peddlers to personal trainers. The one thing they all share in common is that they’re all first time commenters.

It’s quite simple. If you’ve never left a comment here before and the first one you leave appears to be an attempt at just sneaking in a hyperlink with relevant keywords to your business, expect that it will be deleted. If I’m feeling nice, and think the comment really does add some sort of value to the discussion, I’ll remove your spammy link and leave the comment. You’re not placing your text links here for free, but I’d be happy to sell you a little ad space for a reasonable price.

/ End of rant.
