BuyBlogComments.com: Blog Comments And Backlinks For Sale

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.
