BuyBlogComments.com: Blog Comments And Backlinks For Sale

Everton | Jul 11, 2007 | Comments


I think it’s a very sad state of affairs when the blogosphere gets to the point where services like BuyBlogComments.com are launched. This new service will for a fee leave ‘relevant’ comments on blogs that are human generated to increase the chances of the site owner not spotting the spam, to try and create backlinks. Three packages are available – $20 for 100 blog comments, $100 for 500 comments, and $200 for 1000 comments.

Services like these are going to make it much harder for site owners to stop spam comments. At the moment I’m doing a good job of stopping the human spam that is designed to generate backlinks, but it’s getting harder and harder. To try and dissuade human spammers, I’ve been removing any site names or urls from comments that are obviously just trying to take advantage of my ‘DoFollow’ policy.

However, I do have a couple of regular users where I’m very tempted to remove their comments as well, as sometimes they don’t add a lot of value and because I have a suspicion that they are leaving 4-5 poor quality comments all at once just so that they can get a link in my top commenters section.

I’m letting them through for now, but I’m reviewing my policy on a daily basis.

  • i get some obvious comment spam on my site, but if the comments are thoughtfull and invite discussion then why not let them continue?

    some the anchor text makes it obvious comment spam though. i wonder if putting "i like socks" as my achor will be let on this blog??

    I do think it depends on the industry you are in and how many people who are reading your site are likely to have their own site. If it’s, say, 90%, then you’re bound to get more comments if you dofollow and allow URLs…but then the quality of comments probably goes down. It’s a balance
  • Now what's wrong with drawing attention? What about those of us who can't afford buying the stuff? And the owner also gets traffic from this, so ...
  • I can't decide what to do on my blogs - I hate spam so much I tend to want every last protection from it, but if it reduces the number of comments and prevents decent debate then that's gonna kill the blog eventually.

  • I wouldn't be surprised if WordPress was forced to add nasty image verifications to the comments, as I don't see any other solution. =(
  • I don't think you can really stop real human scammers. I mean, if I were to target a niche, say SEO, I could type up about 10-50 actual long relevent targetted comments, and then just copy/paste my way through 100s of blog posts.. Every article I can find on buyblogcomments, I can just post this comment I've written right here. Anyone who would have blogged about these guys probably will write about the same thing, and.. who would actually see this comment here as a piece of spam??

    //comment template off//.. no.. i'm not really doing this, but I could see how a comment like my lame one above could make it through any 'human filter' out there. Honestly, right now, its not even about the # of backlinks you have, its about the quality, so a targetted attack like this, I do it enough times, I could rank #2 for buyblogcomments if I really wanted to....

    yay. on to start my lame empire

    I guess I somewhat disagree with your notion. The reason that most people comment at all is because they can call attention to their own site or blog. If this wasn't true why would they even bother putting their website in the website field on the comment form - just like everyone who has posted a comment here has... So, are they ALL spam. Your argument would seem to say yes, even though they are relevant. 95% of the time people comment to call attention to their own site - simple as that. So, if the comments you buy are really relevant, there's little difference...

    And anyone posting here can't argue otherwise - they put their URL in the optional Website field.

    That won't help solve this problem - as human 'spammers' will just keep doing what they are doing

  • May be you should add the image verifycation method to avoid a few spammers. In one of my forum, I added a checkbox near the login form saying "I am not a spam" and the forums logs in only when u tick that checkbox. This simple idea reduced the spammers by 90%. and only a hardcore human spammer who is dare to do these thing come now which is easy to block. :)

  • A lot of people are saying SK2 is better than Akismet. I think I'll go take a look at SK2. Thanks EB.
