So they tell me Keith, but I don’t bother anymore, it’s all too hard. I just want to say my piece as best I can and be off to the next blog to see if I can leave some more words of wisdom.

Ok, I have added a couple of keywords to my name. Is this supposed to help my SEO somehow? LOL

Thanks Tess, and the thing that most spammers don't seem to get is that if they would only read the blog and left a good comment, their comment would not be deleted. Then again, if they did that they wouldn't be spammers. Thanks for commenting.

It really is a shame that so many people blatantly spam. While it is good to create backlinks by posting on related blogs, if people would only read the posts they might learn something new! I love reading online marketing and promotion blogs, and learn something I can use every time I do.

I don’t blame you at all! Great blog, by the way:)

Nope, seeing how it’s related to the post, I’m fine with the link.

Feel free to delete the following link if you find it too much self promotion:

Now there is an idea. Thanks for the tip.

Seems we are all going through the same at the moment, just a few days ago I added a captcha to my blog to keep the spambots away and revised my comment policy also. The idea with restricting the keywords to maximal two is great, I might adopt that one also, but what helped me most was to change the default text of the keywordluv plugin so that spammers would not find me in the first place!

I didn’t know that. Thanks for enlightening me Ted.

So, I reckon if the wife ever leaves me it shouldn’t be too hard to make that Aussie Babe Magnet thing stick, would it? lol

Hi Beverly,

Basically, some people want to type keywords instead of their names, such as “Big Red Cars”. Sire has it set up so people can type in “john@big red cars”, thus giving them what’s known as keyword luv, which is a WordPress plugin he uses. Now, someone like me doesn’t care about the keywords, so like you, I just put in my name.
