Although this blog officially launches next week I wanted to tell those who have Wordpress blogs something I learned recently.

The blog spammers are working overtime right now!

The reason I say this and have made the comment links on this blog “nofollow” links is because of what I’ve experienced the last few days on my blog at susancarrollhome.com.

When I set that blog up I removed the “nofollow” tag for comment links however that’s been changed because I’ve been averaging 20 – 50 spam comments daily on that blog for about a week. Although none of this spam appears since I moderate the comments it does take time to remove them all from the comment moderation file.  This is time I could be spending on my business.

So while I do want to allow readers to have comment links seen by the search engines I can’t.  I’m open to suggestions on how to get my newsletter readers valid search engine friendly links on this blog. If you have a suggestion please leave a comment because I’ll see it when I moderate the comments on this blog.

If you would like to leave a comment expressing your opinion of spammers please do so. Just remember to keep your language clean since this is a family friendly blog.

To Your Success,
Susan

UPDATE: Thanks to 1 of my nice Twitter followers, Adrian, I was remined to activate the Akismet plugin on my first blog – susancarrollhome.com.  Per his advice I did and now that blog and this blog have the nofollow attribute removed for comment links.

Thanks Adrian for your help.
