One of the task of a link builder is do blog commenting. In doing this, one has put in mind to comment according to the post, but what if a person though commenting about the post do it excessively?

I usually get 1 or 2 comments on my blog, but when I saw 29 new comments, it has caught my attention, especially those 29 is done by only one person.

It’s flattering that someone would take time to read and comment on every post I have but if comments are simply done for the sake of commenting to have link on it, it certainly doesn’t look nice. I guess a maximum of 3 post to comment on a certain blog in a day would be enough, a 5 would be too much for me, but 29? Just doesn’t seem right.

Check the comments being done on my blog, though some I would consider, but some just obviously was done for the sake of being able to leave a comment to link its site. This is a bad practice, because the blog owner like me would tend to mark this as spam.

Leave a comment if you feel like your comment would add to the quality of the post, for the next visitor to learn from it, not for the sake of link building. Build links naturally!

Akismet is a pre-installed (already in WordPress upon installation) wordpress plugin. Recently, they have an updated version of it. It is a plugin that filters spam messages from the comments on your blog.

Steps in using this plugin:

• Log-in to your wordpress account.
• Go to Plugins
• Look for Akismet (usually it is the top one). Click Activate
• Once the plugin has been activated, you will be instructed to put your WordPress API (click). If you have no account on wordpress.com, you have to create one.
• Log-in to your wordpress.com account >> click My Account >> My Profile. You will then see your WordPress API, just copy it and paste it on Akismet Configuration.
• Click “Update Option.”
• DONE
