"BlogRoll Circle Jerk? - If You Encourage Junk Comments That Is ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-30 08:59:30

The quality of comments on a blog totally depend on the blog itself the type of content you write and the tools and method you decide to moderate content. On Shoemoney. Pam the lists of links to dofollow blogs that traversed the Blogosphere 6 months ago. Whilst I was included on some of those lists. I didn't take an active roll as the lists really didn't present any value to me. I suppose Akismet is great if you don't care about the comments on your blog or whether the good ones appear. can take time if you get a lot of comments but not much more than the time it takes to read them and if you are using subscribe to comments you are much - I see some fairly nasty comment spam come through to my mailbox all the time from Akismet protected blogs. I applaud Greg Boser's efforts to create a hand picked selection of though he will find many of the blogs in the are high quality but not all to do with online marketing (thank goodness)There will be an OPML file available for the community very soon. I just need some time to do some testing and to give some feedback. If you want to be a note we are not talking about a successful affiliate who just happens to have a large fan base but only earns 3% of income from blogging such as Shoemoney then the comments you receive on your blog are as much or even more important than the original article. Lots depends on your business model as to whether creating a professional positive business culture in your comment area is important to you. As Kirk points out with some Liz has been very successful in building up a community over 2 years. 50,000 real comments. Part of it Kirk attributes to subscribe to comments it is important - I remarked a while ago to that one change he could make to his blog was to reintroduce subscribe to comments as I would certainly participate more. By doing so. I feel more a part of his community. I comment more frequently because I can follow the conversation that take place afterwards in response and also link to Darren more. It would be interesting to see if he can attribute an increase in return visitors due to subscribe to comments. Maybe there is a way with some hacking to measure that. I would estimate that less than 2% of the comments I receive on a daily basis are people commenting purely for a search engine boost and whilst I am a human so I can make a mistake. I would estimate that 90% of those comments don't appear on the blog even if they sound vaguely on topic. Of the ones that do get on the blog most have the link removed. The best way to tell my readers you wrote about a subject is to link to me with a trackback - I have seen up to 50 people leaving my site in the past following an early trackback with a good headline I don't mind good quality timely link drops. As an example the "real" PageRank update to me in a comment with a link to his post. For me attribution isn't an after thought of a careless thanks or token gesture. I always try to give people links that will send as much traffic as possible or be of most value to them (useful keywords). I suppose you could look on it as the whitehat way of "selling links" When people base their article around information obtained by others the least they can do is try to send some traffic to the other party otherwise the link isn't much better than a paid link. Sure it might fulfil legal obligations and possibly let the search engines know the source of the content but is that really sufficient? Share and Enjoy:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. One of my biggest disappointments at the moment is that my "subscribe to comments" plugin is not playing nicely with the others or my theme so I've had to deactivate it. I really appreciate the ability to "subscribe" (except when I made the mistake of subscribing to Liz's birthday bash went to bed and found 328 emails when I woke up)!Posted I think Liz is a model for us all to follow. I just hope I can develop a community like hers. More than unrelated links it is the unrelated comments I see. It just tells me they did not take the time to read-they are not someone that will be part of the community. It is like the MyBlogLog comments that say nice blog but never visited it just the community page. Posted Liz has a real charm to her and is a top-notch conversationalist. The comments on her blog reflect her commitment to her readers and a two way dialog. It'll be interesting to compare her model with Perez Hilton or entertainment sites in general. 600 comments is sweet but tiny compared to. They are left by real people who don't want anything from his site (traffic/links). Celebrity blogs are a riot.. I don't think I've ever seen a celeb blogger actually leave a comment as a response to their readers. Posted I don't think Pam knows much about the subject. I thought that she was working for Feldman though. Hmmm interesting. Posted I removed all the nofollow tags on my comments some time ago. To me I just didn't see the point. Comment spam get removed anyway so why am I penalizing visitors who took the time not only to read my articles but comment on them too? It's silly. The introduction of nofollow sure did a bangup job of slowing down the flow of comment spam didn't it. *rolls eyes*Posted They are wrong– Pam is wrong. Why discount Pamela for her looks while giving the ugly fat guys a pass?Posted Thank you. Andy and everyone who said such nice things about the folks who comment on my blog. I do get a lot of comment spam but I don't get a lot of shallow useless "nice post" comments. I suppose there might be a downside in that some folks have said they took a long time to write their first comment. When I took the no follow off my blog. I didn't announce it. Even now I don't advertise that fact though it's easy enough to check. I don't think "rewarding" folks for commenting is the point. I don't give folks a cookie for talking to me either. :) However. Andy. I agree that community and Do Follow seem to naturally go together. Yeah. Those folks who write shallow comments for links tend to look like human spam to me. Maybe I've been deleting them without realizing it. :) My apologies to the folks who subscribed to the birthday party. I should have put a warning by the comment box that day. Please email me if my comment subscriptions ever become a burden. Thanks. Andy. Meg and Maki for the kind words about my blog and my readers. I live for the conversations that we have every day. Someone made the comment over at Shoemoney that only webmasters spammers and techies leave links. In my world that's patently false. We leave links for each other often and I encourage it if it's something that will serve folks who read with more relevant content. I with you. Andy on that. For the most part. I can tell a human spammer or a google juice chaser by seeing an unfamiliar name and checking the post on which the comment is made — too often the statement is vague and the post is out of date. Bye to them. :) Do follow is about connecting the web with relationships between people blogs and content. I didn't advertise when I turned it on. I don't make a big deal of it now. I would hope that folks comment because they have something to say — just as they might in a real conversation. And yes. I agree. Pam's opinion is off the mark she's fabulous intelligent and I'd love to meet her. I just don't agree with her opinion on this. If this is true. I really don't get it how you managed to get 50.000 real comments in two years. May i ask how many posts did you write in this period. Cause even with lets say 5 per day this would still mean like 15 comments each… And writing 5 quality posts a day that would attract considerable feedback from readers is not so easy…Posted B) Every Tuesday night I sit at my computer for about 4 hours hosting an open conversation. That is about 200 - 300 comments in one post every week. Some comment conversations also go one for more than one day like this one has been going on for more than one day. There are as of now 2,194 posts. My usual schedule is 2 posts a day 7 days a week. I write for a living. I realize that most folks can't do that. :)Posted Vlad: I think Pam's video discussion of the dofollow movement was exceedingly shallow. She basically did nothing more than resort to name calling sneering and eyerolls. Because her "argument" against dofollow consisted of nothing more than bodylanguage. I'm not surprised the "counter arguments" are also pointing to irrelevant things like her looks. Still if the subject of dofollow is going to be discussed on blogs. I think it would be better for someone to post about the advantages (or disadvantages) of dofollow and try to engage whatever the heck Pam might have meant to imply with her jejune eyerolls and name calling. The dofollow movement is not just a blog circle jerk and no amount of eyerolling on the part of Pam would ever make it so. Posted I agree that it would be much better to engage people into a constructive discussions on our blogs. However I am not sure bloggers like Pam will be willing to participate…. It is interesting though that finally Shoemoney (with Pam's help) is taking a pop at do follow bloggers. I think maybe he (along with other A listers) are just plain jealous about the quality of comments on dofollow blogs. Just take for example this blog and compare to any posts on Shoemoney. As Andy said if you encourage spam comments that is what you get. Posted Aren't most comments (on average) either too long or too short. I tend to write fairly long comments myself too. It's not easy than to come up with a concise to the point small piece of text. On the other side writing a valuable complete article that stands on its own as source for a trackback is not always possible (time wise or line of the blog). Did everyone every try to limit the comments to e g. 300 characters ? Did it hurt the quality or #Reader-to-#Comments ratio? Bottom line: Quality blogging commenting and trackbacking requires more time than most people are willing to put into.–JohnP. S.: Some say you shouldn't ask questions in a comment. I say why not. It can add value. Posted @Vlad: I have no idea what their motive is! But the positives of dofollow are immediately obvious to bloggers. Look at the conversation here and at many dofollow blogs? The "negative" — that we might be overwhelmed by spam– is largely hypothetical. I agree with you that you or me posting a "rebuttal" to Pam's eyerolls and name calling is unlikely to get a response. That wouldn't be the purpose of such an essay. The purpose would be to explain the advantages to others interested in Dofollow. If anything. Pam's discussion make more bloggers aware of the movement and I'll see more downloads of Lucia's Linky Love!Posted Eli's Blue Hat SEO is a great example of a blog that's built a really good following of people who leave constructive comments that build on the post & really compliment it. Lately I've found that most comments really just try to take advantage of things like the Top Commentator list on the sidebar or aren't as constructive. Asking more "Questions" on your blog & creating controversy seems to be a good way to get constructive comments. Throw that in with some real good "meat & potatoes" posts & I think that makes a good combination. In my way of thinking if you're going to promote commenting on your blog you need to make it a two way street and that's where Do-Follow and especially that all important "Subscribe to Comments" comes in. And of course I was was having a bit of fun about the danger of subscribing to one of Liz's posts something even she does from time to time. Not the first time I've been caught. Actually it makes following a hot topic of hers all the easier at times. I often leave short comments that simply express my gratitude for a well written article. I like many are very busy and if I am going to put a lot of thought and effort into blogging I usually save it for my blogs. I never gave the short comments much thoughts until now. Hell. I am mostly grateful that someone took the time to comment but then I am not trying to make a living at this. I blog for fresh content as all my blogs are part of a website and not a stand alone project. Posted I completely disagree that removing the nofollow attribute from our blogs generates mostly spam comments. I have personally found being a dofollow blog has helped create a relationship between myself and other bloggers where we now know more about each other and regularly comment on each other's blogs. I read Andy's blog on my RSS feeder but I don't think I've ever tried to comment. Some of the posts Andy has written are those that help teach me more about blogging ways I can improve my posts etc. I wouldn't even attempt to comment because trying to comment on topics that I don't fully understand would likely make me appear to be making a pathetic attempt for a link. It is frustrating to me to read posts from people claiming that dofollow blogs must be low/poor quality blogs desperately seeking attention by any means possible. I've read many times in Darren Rowse' blog where even HE mentions cringing when going back and reading some of his older posts knowing it could have been better. I haven't found a blogger yet who would make the claim that the moment they started their blog that it was always the highest quality. We all start somewhere improving as we go. Even professional journalists start off somewhere. Posted It seems alot of the junk comments I get are from bots. I took out the part of the comments that had the url field for a bit to see. And I still got the same number of junks with a url. So I assume they are using an automated bot. It would be nice if the major blogging platforms had something inbuilt to prevent this. Hopefully it would stop the bots because they would get less of a payoff. Posted Links to posts strongly related to the subject of the post should be okay in comments not just for other readers but for the writer of the post as well. I have hundreds of blog feeds in my feed reader and still not ALL good and relevant blogs about subjects I care about. The ones I do have in the reader are impossible to read entirely. You miss stuff and if your subject is recent (a few days old) don't expect Google to show it near the top of the search results yet (with some exception with posts at very strong authority blogs). De-linking a reference would not make sense if the post that is referred to is on topic and adds value to the post itself. If it does not provide anything different or new to what you just wrote then it does not make much sense to keep the link to it intact. It would be like a "me too" reply to a forum post. Some blog comments (with and without links) are having not much more quality to it than those kind of replies which annoys the heck out of me if it is a post where a lot of people re engaged in a conversation. I don't mind if those would be suppressed or deleted even if their was no bad intent by the poster. It will not help the guys who signed up for email notification but the guys that read the post at a later time. The exceptions are polls or similar posts that ask for this kind of feedback. That's my opinion which is probably not one of the popular ones. p s. I like the edit comment feature. Which plug-in is that? English is my second language and I see myself making errors pretty often. It's hard to read and double check in the relatively small text box where you enter your comment (the p s was added to my comment using this edit comment feature hehe). Posted I rarely use nofollow. I certainly don't use it on any of my blogs. If people want to comment and get a link out of it that's fine as long as they post quality content in their comment. That's why I review all comments and delete those that are obviously spammy of which admittedly there are quite a few. Posted Commenting and taking time to read particular blogs of interest whether follow or not are educational and have created some great relationships. Now I don't have near the thousands some who were mentioned here but the ones we do have been a tremendous help. So with that said it reminds me of the movie the bucket list A story from the ancient Egyptians — there are two questions asked of the soul at the end of this life:"Did you find joy?""Did you bring joy to the lives of others?" One question though and maybe this is because I'm fairly new the blogging scene but I don't think I know how to leave a trackback? Maybe you've covered it in an older post but I didn't see it. Perhaps this could be the inspiration for a new trackback tutorial post if it does not exist already lol. BTW. I learn all about all of the etiquette of blogging from sites like yours. Thanks. Keep it up!Posted I am more likely to continue to participate in a blog conversation if they do have the 'subscribe to comments' feature. That saves me from having to continue to go back and it keeps me engaged. I rarely pay attention to whether a blog has follow or no follow. It's the content that keeps me coming back and the conversation in the comments as well. Posted I went over to Liz's blog…what incredible comments and links she gets. I find I get more comments on posts I write that just naturally flow out of me. Those ones that I even hesitate to push the "submit" button. I think readers want real. Real passion real value real people. Posted

"What happened to the movement to encourage philanthropy on the day ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-21 05:33:30

I remember being encouraged by a (small) campaign several years ago to make personal donations to any create or nonprofit organization on the day after Thanksgiving. It seemed desire a good idea to me. (In our small way my family did it.)I can't find any reference to this idea by searching around on the net now. I can't remember where it started or who did it. As far as I can remember it was not connected to any of the various anti-consumerism or anti-retail-madness movements -- those are easy to find online and give quite a different animate. Am I just missing the right path in my search? Or has whatever energy there was behind the idea faded away completely? It still seems like a good idea -- it's easy to make a very logical connection on that day between my personal well-being and connections to my family and the good that can be done by making a contribution toward wider well-being and community connections. This question is move of a larger quandary of course... how can the general level of personal philanthropy be increased so that more families make more donations and more money goes to good causes? beat Answers in: Charity and Non-Profit (7).

Posted on 2007-12-12 21:17:12

Kingsbury Hall is hoping more students will acquire tickets to "N*gger. Wetb*ck. Ch*nk: The Race show," after the U's student government refused to sponsor and back up change tickets for the event. The show which starts tonight features three UCLA graduates who tour college campuses nationwide performing the show. It blends "theater hip-hop stand-up comedy slam poetry and true-life stories with their own original style…performers take on racial slurs stereotypes and the concept of go itself," according to the show's website."NWC" pokes fun at stereotypes directed at racial minorities and uses racial slurs throughout the performance. The ultimate goal is to prove that everyone comes from the same human go the actors say. But Dhiraj Chand diversity director for the Associated Students of the University of Utah saw the show last year and is concerned with the actors' excessive use of the derogatory words and perpetuation of stereotypes on stage. When Kingsbury Hall approached ASUU for support they declined he said. Others undergo expressed concern over the show coming to the U including students and administrators in the bear on for Student Ethnic Affairs and the Office of Diversity. Sheri Jardine the public relations associate for Kingsbury Hall said around 600 tickets were available as of Thursday morning for both shows but not many students were showing up at the ticket office to buy tickets. The theater holds more than 1,900 populate. Tickets were originally priced between $25 and $30 but Kingsbury Hall announced Monday that they would offer students tickets for $15."We decided to do the $15 tickets on our own because nobody we talked to like ASUU came through with any funding," Jardine said. "We had hoped ASUU would help us out but we decided to act the hit financially on our own."Clem Collins co-director of the Black Student Union is planning to attend the show with other students from CESA Saturday night."I'm somewhat nervous and excited about it," Collins said. "As a assort we've been worried they're going to come here alter their money then leave a bunch of issues unresolved."Collins said students in BSU and CESA may write a response or host a dialogue session after the show leaves to discuss the issues it raises. Doug Bermingham a doctoral student in counseling psychology met a friend at Kingsbury Hall to buy tickets for the show Thursday. "It is framed in a way so it's accessible to a lot of people," Bermingham said. "It ordain be entertaining but I wish to learn something from it."Bermingham said he plans to use information from the show for a presentation about white allow for his counseling skills course next week. Jardine said although Kingsbury hall brings in a number of shows every year for entertainment value the theater wants to bring more "intellectually challenging theater."Last fall. Kingsbury Hall brought in a production of "1984," which addresses issues of government surveillance and oppression which was a huge success. Jardine said c mayorga@chronicle utah edu

Whether you are giving a presentation or are having a team meeting you will be to encourage contribution in discussions so people actually conclude like they are part of what is going on. Here are some tips on how to encourage contribution in discussions. The first tip on how to encourage contribution in discussions is to make sure that you make everyone conclude comfortable with you.
