Please No Anchor Text In Comment Names

Just a friendly reminder to readers to please use real names in comment names and not anchor text.  I think I’m being generous enough by following comments, so please don’t take advantage of my kindness.   I go through the comments every day or so and remove urls from any comments where I see anchor text, so in the long run, you won’t get any benefit from it.

I know that certain blogs have encouraged readers to do this, but I find it really annoying, particularly when I see people who quite clearly leave just enough ‘me too’, ‘great post’, ‘thanks!’ etc comments in one go in order to appear in the top commentators section, and then are never seen again.

Thanks
