[...] This strategy is slightly more advanced and requires that you perform a search for the blogs that use KeywordLuv plugin, be aware that that this is constantly changing list. For example - my blog used to use the plugin but was discontinued due to SPAM abuse. [...]

Simon,

I agree and I don’t consider myself as been able to “afford the loss”. I appreciate each and every comment that was done on this blog with good intentions. And I reply to almost all that expect a reply. It was a choice I simply had to make.

On my main blog, I have over 50,000 spam messages, Do-follow and keywordluv bring plenty of them. But it doesn’t bother me. It isn’t that much of an effort to delete them. With Keywordluv I get 10-15 good meaningful comments a day on my that blog, without it, unless I am posting all the time I get very few, 1-2 a day. Your readership is much larger so you can afford to loss it, but I love all the new content that all these comments bring to my blog, My commenter’s do all the work of adding new content to my blog.

Alex, I completely agree that if people are to use this plugin it is a good idea to close comments on older posts (especially those that have pr). These are the posts most likely to be targetted by spam comments, which is not only annoying for the blog owner, but also for genuine readers who has to read through comments which are often just copied from other comments above or have no real relevance to the topic being discussed - the typical "Great post, very informative" type nonsense.

I'm still pretty new to blogging, so I thought it sounded like a great idea. After all, that's why I put up a blog is to get visitors. If the spammers get out of hand I guess I might reconsider, but by them maybe I'll have a following. Good discussion in the comments. Oldbuddys last blog post..Passive Advertising

Alex,

It’s too bad that the Spammers ruin this feature for everybody else.

I can’t help but think that this creates a business opportunity for someone that comes up with a viable solution.

In reading the post and the comments I couldn’t help but think of an independent 3rd party service that would score commenters and their histories, much like credit scores are for lenders. Bloggers could then decide at what level a commenter would need to be at to be able to comment on a particular blog.

Newer blogs might have a more flexible policy with regard to blogging score and more established bloggers such as yourself might have a higher standard in order to allow commenting.

Just my two cents.

I have been using the keywordluv plugin for awhile now and love it. It does bring a little more spam but I am okay with doing a little moderating. It only takes me a few minutes and it benefits my readers a lot.

I was thinking of installing this plugin today. I'm going to try it but I'll also watch what is going on with the comments on my blog. Justins last blog post..How to Change the Default URL Structure in Wordpress

Good for you. You’ve taken away a spam abuse honeypot but kept the links worthwhile.

i dont think removing keywordluv will help u much in controlling spam.
spammers would love to get a keyword for a backlink but they wont mind having only dofollow links
