Blog Promotion and Comment Approval
Well I took the whole weekend off for this blog as I am in the middle of moving and there was just no time for me to post. But I am back at it with a vengeance. My first blog promotion tip for the week is comment approval. I visit a lot of blogs and the first thing that pisses me off is when I write a long engaging comment and hit submit and I get a your comment has been submitted for approval. Not only is this a turn off for the visitor of a persons blog it is bad business.
You should reward the readers that are nice enough to leave a comment on your blog by having your comments set on auto approve. The reader should not have to register to comment and enter captcha, that is a waste of the readers time and and will cause a reader to leave your blog and never return . This is not user friendly and is not going to make your blog special by requiring this. If you are worried about spam then use askimet plugin or another spam plugin to filter the spam. Every now and then a spam comment will squeeze thru your spam filter but who cares, just delete it. If you are really working to improve your blog promotion then you should be monitoring your blog and engaging with your commenter’s and you would notice a spam comment sneaked by your plugin. But I doubt this will happen very often as askimet is vastly improved now to detect all the spam comments you dont want. If someone takes the time to leave a comment on your blog then follow them back to there blog and leave a comment or there blog and let them know you saw they visited your blog. If your blog gets hundreds of comments a day then just do your best to comment back on as many as you can. This will go a long way in building bridges to more readers and help you increase your blog promotion. Something as simple as commenting on a blog post should not be time consuming and difficult for your blog readers. If you have your blog on approve all comments then you need to change it and install the askimet plugin and put all comments on auto approve. Trust me on this it will make your readers very happy to know that he or she could comment on your article and it is auto approved. Those blog owners who require you to jump thru hoops don’t deserve a comment and if you are looking to get a backlink out of one of these type of comment moderation is on blogs forget it. They will not approve your comment as they think they are the comment police, and whoa is them if someone leaves a backlink on there blog. Leave a comment on my blog today and watch the auto approve. Happy Blogging Monday

. My first blog promotion tip for the week is comment approval. I visit a lot of blogs and the first thing that pisses me off is when I write a long engaging comment and hit submit and I get a your comment has been submitted for approval….
I don’t normally mind looking at the sentence. Since I know what I write and I know it’s not spammy (and I know it’ll be approved anyway)
If it takes some time for the owner to approve it, so be it

Askimet is doing a great job for me. Thanks.
Nice post and i fully agree with what you have said.Its not good that someone comments on your blog after paying so much attention and you cannot approve their comment.One can comment on a blog after reading it.So how one can write spam content.
Good post long way in building bridges to more readers and help you increase your blog promotion. Something as simple as commenting on a blog post should not be time consuming and difficult for your blog readers.
