I am actually very quick when it comes to deleting comments that sounds like spam to me — names that sound like keywords, or are actually keywords (I’d manually change the name is the comment is valid), one or two-word comments such as “Nice site!” or “Great job!” or “Well done!”.

And I also erase the commentator’s signature if he includes a link to his blog. I mean, you already provided a link to your blog before you comment, so I don’t think you need to do it again =)

The act # 6 is actually quite dumb. I am sure when people find out that they have been cheated, they are never going to go back to that page again.

Very valid points, I hope that some of these frequent commenters will actually read and apply them! Thumbs up.

Great tips. I’ll watch that I won’t do those dumb things myself. Oh yeah, thanks for that link for the top commenters plugin, I was looking for that

I definitely have to disagree with #1. I love the graphic though.

Sorry Ram,

I have to disagree with you on this one :”2. Making One Word Comment:”

There might be people who just want to be top commentators list but there are genuine people who leave a one word comment because these are the few reasons :

1. They wanted to encourage their friend.
2. They are in awe of what they read and don’t have the right words to write at that time.
3. They might be rushing for times and wanted to let their friend know that they did read it and think it is a good one.
4. Sometimes when I browse my friends blog and I found on that day, there is no comment, I will drop one word comment, not so much my name is in in the top commentator but to let my friend know that I was there and read his/her post. We all need some encouragement some times, sometimes a hug , sometimes a pad on our back, sometimes a short comment.

So my dear Ram, I am here to disagree with you, ha ha ha ha ha.
So might turn out to a word comment :).
