Visting Commentors Sites

Pic­ture from here

I ran­domly go through my com­men­tors and visit their sites and pro­files.   This is more out of curi­ousity then any­thing else.  I’m curi­ous who they are what they are inter­ested and what they write about.   In most case they are not much dif­fer­ent then myself.   They are geeks, or lovers of cross­post­ing, the occa­sion secu­rity geek.

While for this post I don’t really have a point, just an obser­va­tion.  “They” say to make your blog sticky and inter­est­ing you build up a com­mu­nity.  You inter­act with your com­men­ta­tors and make sure you com­ment on their posts.   I’m just curi­ous how many of the blog­gers actu­ally read what their com­men­ta­tors have writ­ten that fall out­side the realm of their own door step.

  • I get a few hot topics, though it's always toss away things that don't require too much thought or interaction with. I can tell you that if you use wordpress wp-spamfree is a great plugin to use with Akismet. I think because of this my spam filter is a little bit more agressive then most. Akismet did mark an innocent by grandmother as spam once - who would have thought.

    But since I'm lucky to get a dozen comments a week following up is simple.
  • I do the same! However, I get so few comments on my blog, it's not hard to pay attention to the ones that are there. Let me revise that: I get so few GENUINE comments on my blog. Spam comments, on the other hand, are abundant - thank goodness for Akismet. It really freaks me out that spammers are still posting hundreds of comments a week on random blogs, hoping to get their latest scam or ad out there.

    (BTW I had to revise this comment...the first time I did it, I guess I mentioned one of the "herbal" products that the spammers often advertise...and the site thought I was a spammer! HA HA!)
