I look forward to your comments and I love talking with readers, but …
My comment box is not your free advertising space.
You may be new to commenting on blogs, or you may be an aggressive marketer — but the following actions look like spam to me:
- Repeating your website address inside a comment instead of in the website address box
- Posting a comment that has nothing to do with the post, like "Nice post! Thanks!"
- Using an email address that does not match your name
I don't mean to be rude, but if your comment looks spammy, I'll delete it or edit out the selfish bits. If you do it a lot, I'll report you as a spammer (which means your IP address will be blocked from most blogs).
Most bloggers would do the same thing.
