Good post. I study something tougher on completely different blogs everyday. It’ll all the time be stimulating to learn content material from different writers and observe slightly something from their store. I’d choose to make use of some with the content on my weblog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.

You have provided a nice collection of information but i am disagree with you on some points like captcha code. i think it prevent auto generated comments. i made a guest book and there was not captcha code. after few days i saw that more than 700 comments were there. all was about a medicine, so it must be there. Thanks

totally agree with the capatcha plugin. Also just write interesting content…people want to be entertained not bored!

I just haven’t plucked up the courage yet to add these plugins to my sites. I am too worried about spammers. But, I can see from your site, that the comments are tasteful and not spammy, so you might have convinced me.

Do you find that Akismet helps with this?

Hey Jeff,

Really excellent and insightful post. Just to say something on replying comments. I believe replying comments is necessary. I a good way of building a relationship. A reply to a comment makes the commenter welcome and affirmed.

Hey Vanessa,

First off, Askimet is FREE. Second, it’s not a Captcha tool it’s just a plugin that really stops most of your SPAM.

The are other Captcha tools I’ve seen like selecting image recognition CAPTCHAs but these pose a problem for the visually impaired.

No I don’t know how to implement the one you’re talking about where readers are asked mathematical questions (“what is 1+1″), or “common sense” questions (“what color is the sky on a clear day”). These are done by the use of JavaScript but they don’t meet the criteria for successful Captcha’s because they’re not automatically generated and they don’t present a new problem or test to meet each attack.

I don’t know what the answer is but for now I will just keep doing what I’ve been doing and that’s not to leave comments on blogs that require Captchas.

Later,
Jeff Sargent

You know, I am so torn about this. If your site gets good traffic and your posts are interesting, you SHOULD get a lot of comments. I have never installed the ASKIMET plug in on my blogs because I don’t have the money to pay for it. But then I get all these spammy comments for people who just want to advertise THEIR product on my blog, when oftentimes its not even related to what my post was about, and that just annoys the crap out of me.

I really think its a catch 22, and I know there are other CAPTCHA tools out there besides ASKIMET, but I also agree with you that I have a helluva time reading those, and its frustrating. What I have seen that I really liked on a couple blogs was where they ask a question, like “type the color of grass” but I do not know how to implement that. Does anyone else?

You’re absolutely right. I know I haven’t posted anything new here in quite some time and I won’t waste everyone’s time by telling them why. I will say that I haven’t been just twiddling my thumbs and have been quite busy but that’s no excuse to only have made three posts this entire year. I will be posting again very soon like in the next week and will try to make weekly posts.

Thanks for getting on my case,

Later,

I totally agree that you need to make it easier for your visitors. I also think you should take some action to motivate them to provide quality posts and to actually post SOMETHING

Hi Jeff,

guess what – you left a nice comment on my site, so I followed to your site, found a few nice posts and decided to leave a comment on this one! How about that – shows that you have a point with Tip #5! I try to respond to most comments, but as there are many with having a top commentator, keywordluv, commentluv and dofollow blog, sometimes it is just not possible. Your readers also have to understand that at times they might not get a reply, and I think that’s cool. Thanks for this useful post!

A great New Year with lots of IM success to you, too!

Petra
