This Sunday morning I was surprised to see over 100 unread comments on my blog with hardly 1 or 2 words per comment. Most of the comments were saying either "thank you for the post" or simply "ty" and of course linked to some blog/web address, now it was clear that all of these comments were SPAM.
It took almost one hour to delete all these comments. I am sure Google would already have detected all these new links leaving my blog, but luckily for me BloggerStop is not a DoFollow blog. Then why all these unecessary comments were here this morning?
I checked my stats [track your visitors too] and found all these commentators were coming from a famous Turkish forum R10, and they were here due to an incorrect post mentioning BloggerStop as a dofollow blog.
So this is exactly what can happen with you too, if you have a dofollow blog and a single post about your blog is posted on a popular forum. And imagine the spam flood your blog will face when the same post is copied to other forums, blogs and directories. Within a few days Google and other search engines will penalise your blog for converting it in to a link farm.
But if you still want to enjoy the spammy, non-converting traffic and you think that you have ample time to moderate all the spam comments then you can easily convert your blogger blog in to a dofollow blog, by deleting a small code snippet:
So, any plans to change your blog to a dofollow blog?
