Thanks for the thoughts. I don't think being on the list is necessarily a bad thing. Here's how I see it: I'm not doing Do Follow to make the SEO wonks happy. That totally misses the point that I perhaps haven't made clearly enough. Anyone who feels that they're entitled to a free backlink to every Do Follow blog on some list is just being a putz in my mind. In other words, provide content, further a discussion or go pound sand. Will they get 5 or 6 (or whatever my magic number is) comments here? Perhaps. But as I mention in my Disclaimer page, I reserve the right to either delete them or remove their URL(s)... So now they have to waste time playing cat & mouse to try and sneak the magic number past me. I'd think at that point it's not worth the effort for the SEO wonk. I'm only PR5 for pete's sake! :-) Hi Cade.

That would save you a lot of comments that you don't like. I think that there are plenty of people that feel the same way. I want to know what your plans are if someone decides to comment 5 or 6 times or ten and they are just as spammy. Is that worse? I am not complaining about it, I am just curious to know how it is better, when maybe the best thing would be to turn off the do follow all together.

I agree that comments are precious -- they fuel me as a blogger... well, when they're not complete crap. ;) @tallfreak - glad to be of service and hope the plugin works for ya.

Thanks for the Love List plugin link. I'll admit, I found your site from CourtneyTuttle.com's D-List. That's probably where most of your SEO-hungry commenters come from. You may ask to be taken off of that list if their comments are bothering you. Thanks again for the link! That’s a good idea. Thanks for the Love List plugin link.

No, this isn't just a drive by comment. :) On the RSS feed the first 250 characters come through, and that means if a post interests me I click and usually if I click, I comment. So you can be sure I'll be back sometime, hopefully sooner.. Though I will say this particular community is a bit of a challenge to keep up with, there's so many posts and so many of them are excellent. What I seem having trouble with is keeping track of whose blogs I have already commented on - I usually only want to let you know where I've found you the first time I drop by, but when there's over 200 blogs and many of them have similar designs.. I agree with you that it can be annoying however I appreciate all comments, even if it is just a drive by. :) I tend not to get too many, which is odd for someone who comments on so many blogs all the time! Looking forward to reading more from you. :) Snoskred Hi, I’m reading you via the No Nofollow | I Follow | DoFollow Community at Bumpzee, on the RSS feed.
