One annoying yet persistent trend some people use in promoting their online businesses is posting spam comments on different blogs. To help you figure out legit comments from spam, the following are signs you should look out for:
Short and insignificant blog comments
Spam comments are usually short comments that contain little or no sense at all. Some spam comments are disguised under generic comments that provide no value to the overall discussion of a blog topic.
Obvious drop links
Another obvious sign of spam comments is the dropped links. As a matter of fact, some of these dropped links are actually used as the username of the comment writer.
Ways to stop spam comments
Fortunately, there are several ways for you to stop spammers from commenting on your blogs. One way is to install a software that automatically filters spam comments. Another way is to manually read each comment and post only those that are legitimate and add value to the overall discussion of your blog entry's topic.
