So you have chosen to Blog as one of the ways to earn extra money. How do you CAPTCHA quality comments?
I decided to make this Blog a DoFollow on the basis that givers gain. I have made some good contacts since I made the change. One thing you need to bear in mind when doing the same thing is what DoFollow really means. It means that because Google have slapped a lot of standard sales pages people have moved to using a Blog as their made ‘hub’. Now I have a Page Rank 3 Blog with higher than average traffic. So if you place a comment on my Blog that means you get a ‘backlink.
A backlink is good for you because it helps raise your Page Rank. I am happy to do this where people are taking a genuine interest in what I have written. That’s how the DoFollow community works. You leave a valid comment on a DoFollow Blog and I give you a valid backlink.
The issue of spamming has become a problem. There are two issues:
- Automatic spammers using scripts to post rubbish comments
- Human commenters who clearly have failed to read the actual post and add no value to the Post
The aim is to capture genuine comments. Spam filters have a problem because the major one Askimet works on the basis of people marking comments as spammers. People’s definitions of spam vary. I have defined what I think a spam comment is in my Comment Policy. So I have decided to moderate every comment myself. This does take some time and I find that 90 – 95% of the comments are spam.
I have come across a CAPTCHA system for my comments that is based on objects instead of that weird writing so many CAPTCHA systems use. It’s called Ironclad CAPTCHA and I will be monitoring how well it works.
My advice for Bloggers who have concerns about how Askimet inappropriately marks Spam then try using a CAPTCHA system to improve the quality of your DoFollow Comments.
