Comment Policy

Oh, please do comment. Say something substantive - this blog has a small readership (measured in the tens to hundreds per day range), mostly consisting of search marketing professionals and a few end users with problems. Whatever issue you’ve got, it’ll be seen by some highly relevant readers. Average time on site exceeds 4 minutes, some days, and only drops below 1 minute when an article hits StumbleUpon or Digg attention. So people read and think about this stuff.

This blog is protected by Akismet. It rejects around 99% of all spam without any help from me :)

I will reject off-topic postings - but usually reply personally, if you seem to have a problem and that’s just the wrong place to air it.

I’m extremely impressed with the quality of comments here. Most are really well informed, and come from people deep in the industry. Well done, guys, and thanks!

I do tend to suppress pure flattery attached to site links - the “ur blog is gr8 - c my site”. If you want your site referenced, then say something substantive - other people manage to do so, and if you are worthwhile visiting for readers of this blog, you’ll have *something* interesting to say, I’m sure!

The most interesting thing about comments here, is which articles receive spam comments, the volume per article, and what the spam is about. It’s hugely educational. I also hadn’t realised just how many types of porn and off-label pharmaceuticals there were. Still, I get to stay abreast of the latest in financial services and US cars, I suppose. :)

Updates

Heavily revised in the light of a comment below. This is less frightening than the earlier edit. A bit.
