I am not using Akismet, so a lot of cofee break time is getting lost while deleting spams, even during conf calls too, people watching me playing with iPhone, I think my job will be at stake because of the spams

Why not use a spam plugin?

I am frugal in blog related expenses, waiting for first money to come, before installing Akismet

 

I think I mentioned this before, Akismet is free, so are TONS of other spam plugins... just fyi...

Ditto this. Akismet is free for non-commercial blogs (although I don't use that myself). I use SpamKarma, which is also free.

I'd be interested to see if you got anywhere with this. Some crazy commodity guy just tried to leave 10 comments on my site!

 

Kevin, try an email like what Jacob had. Here is my template -

 

Hello Crazy-commodity-guy

 

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Unfortunately, I have a policy of not allowing business links in the comments section. I will leave the comment as it is, without link. If you would like to have a link on my website, either within the post or on the sidebar, I will be happy to discuss the rates with you. Broke Professionals has a moz rank of 4.2, Alexa 150000 and gets over 15000 page view a month. I am sure it will be a mutually beneficial relationship. Let me know if you are interested.

 

Thanks,

Suba

 

 

I love your template. I think I may start sending out something like this. It would only take about 15 seconds to send the email, so it's not much of a commitment.

10 comments that is ridiculous. He must be using some kind of autospammer.

Here's a template for the email I copy/paste to all of them. Let me know what you all think and feel free to use it if you like.

Hi ShareTipsLive,

I was unable to approve your comment because it is to a business
looking for links.

However, would you be interested in advertising on my site? If
so, we can discuss the details.

Thanks,

Jacob

Certainly I can't do that for some one whose links refers to hot asian girls

 

I dunno.  Can you find a PF spin for hot asian girls?  Maybe the pros and cons of mail-order brides?

Have to experiemnt first then only I can write pros and cons. Problem is I am married!

Or can you...? ;)

This is a great idea, thanks! I just tried this out with the crazy commodity guy, calling him by a bit of a nicer title. ;) 

 

Yeah, that might help a little
