As a blogger, one soon attracts unwanted attention. Fortunately, there are tools that automatically block spam comments. Askimet and SpamKarma are the two I am employing on this blog.spam boyBut of late, there have been coming in new types of comments (and not just here). Genuine comments, but with a link to a commercial web-site. The name is not a real one, but a SEO friendly one.

So, what to do?

Rather than just deleting those comments as spam, I am (for now) simply removing the link.For now, I will keep my policy of “do follow” on all comments, just as a little thank-you to anyone taking the trouble of adding to this blog.
