Because of recent changes in the way I am working, I had to change my posting schedule and dedicate more time to things that really matter and are more productive.

I have noticed a big change though in the comment section and I guess that has to do with the growing number of D-lists I seem to be on. Now, this blog has been a do-follow blog for quite some time now but recently I am seriously considering to turn off that option and go back to being a no-follow blog and it is not even because of SEO smarts and not wanting to spoil linkjuice anymore.

The reason I am considering going back to being a no-follow blog is the amount of crappy comments coming from some very lazy people who arrived here because of some D-list.

Comment strategies (posting on d-list blogs) are great in order to grow your blog and get more backlinks but man, some people just don´t seem to realize they are killing this whole system!

I have seen some complaints on how most d-list aren´t updated and are pointing in the direction of no-follow blogs and  even some angry comments on why so many blogs are no-follow eventhough they are on a d-list…

Well guys, the answer is really simple, it completely sucks to see your own blog being abused by some lazy ass commentators who think that just any comment  is appreciated!

My initial reason to turn on do-follow on my blog was to share some linkjuice with my regular visitors and people who were leaving good comments, adding to the value of my blog with some interesting points of view.

I don´t care if you use keywords instead of your name but man, atleast show some respect when using my blog in your comment strategies!! And by respect I don´t mean you gotta say “great blog”, “interesting post” or “I have signed up for your RSS” but what I want to say is atleast have the decency to READ the post and COMMENT with something useful to say! 

By being a lazy ass commentator with the only thing on your mind being to get some linkjuice, you are KILLING the Do Follow movement so  don´t whine and complain when one day you arrive on this blog through a do-follow list and find I have gone back to being a no-follow blog, because the only reason I would go back to no-follow is being completely fed up with seeing my blog abused by the do-follow abusers!

So cheers to you and think a little before commenting, if d-lists are part of your link building strategies, make sure you aren´t killing your own strategy!

Don´t bite the hand that feeds you!
