A comment about commenting

SIERRA MADRE, CA - MAY 29:  Seventieth anniver...Image by Getty Images via DaylifeBloggers, both new and experienced are trying to figure out how to handle commenting on heir posts. It would be easiest to just turn commenting off but that is the easiest way to kill your blogs community. For commenting on Success For Your Blog it is cut and dry. All comments are held in moderation until approved. I either approve them or delete them. I don’t bother with editing any comments or adding notes. I usually don’t mind a link in the comment if it is relevant r the comment adds value. More than that and it would be considered SPAM.

Like anything you have to revise your guidelines. Commenting is no different. If your getting hundreds of comments a day you may have to change the way you approve your comments as to not take up too much time.

So how do you moderate your coments on your blog?

    Editing is one aspect which I too have been avoiding since long. Good article.

    I’ve turned them off. My blog is not very popular, and all comments are spam. Which reminds me I’ve got to go delete 1000 spams right now (probably).
