“BloggerLuv is a lounge for active bloggers to connect and trade ideas and where to get what resource.”
BloggerLuv was started by John Sullivan who recently wrote a post about Dealing with Better Spam Comments. I wrote a long comment for that post and want to share it again here. It explains why I believe we need to think carefully about our definition of spam:
I’m sure many reading this probably already know that I am one of the champions for supporting small businesses and welcoming them into our blogs. Since John opened the door I want to explain briefly why I feel the way I do.
Spam originally only referred to automated comments left by bots – not comments written by humans. That said, I consider any comment whether written by a human or not that is NOT about the post it is left in to be spam.
Akismet is a major problem because many people we know who never spam have been flagged as spammers and many bloggers have a box checked that instantly deletes whatever they write in OUR blogs – and everyone else’s. There are posts about that in my blog in the Akismet category.
The only comments and links I recommend we not approve are those that are inappropriate or link to bad neighborhoods (adult content or gambling related). You can also choose to delete links to sales pages, Made for AdSense (MFA) sites or poor quality sites if you wish.
The questions to ask yourself is who does it hurt? Who does it help? Why do I care? I’m sure you’ll make the decision that is best for you.

These plug ins are a must. One could not ignore the latest blogging craze people are into. Upon having these plug-ins, it enables both the blogger and the visitor to have the needed means to have an amazing experience via give and take relationship. Commentluv is on good way on this relationship.

Hi Carly,
There isn’t really much of an update that will help because BloggerLuv is dead and hasn’t been replaced and Secret Blog Club is gone and that hasn’t been replaced yet either.
There is great news on the CommentLuv front – I’ll put that in CommentLuv in this reply.

Hi Bob,
The question is what WAS BloggerLuv. It was a site where serious bloggers interacted, relaxed and shared tips – kind of like a coffee shop they met at on breaks. Unfortunately it is gone now.

He was not really selling, was he?
He could’ve gotten much more than $3000 for commentluv.
Commentluv is great for getting some comments, but you still have to look out for spam, I mean human spam. Automatic spam is already dealt with with GASP. I think it should be common courtesy to read the blog first and comment with something useful. add value.
Then in return you get a backlink, that is a good deal.

Hi Danny,
BloggerLuv was for sale and is now gone. CommentLuv has never been for sale that I know of and I doubt that Andy would ever sell it.
Your comments are very good which is great. I get so tired trying to decide which weak comments to approve and which to delete as supporting small businesses is a high priority with me.

Hey Gail,
My bad, I got confused with Bloggerluv and Commentluv.
Wouldn’t you help small businesses if you delete their weak comment, so they learn they should do their work/commenting well or not do it at all.
Although sometimes it looks like you are a charity for small business, you are still running a high quality blog and are in a rolemodel position. So instead of giving away free links to people who probably just skimmed the text (if they looked at it at all) just because you support small business, I think it would be more valuable if you slap their fingers for having a bad habit (weak comments for links). Or else you will reward their bad behavior.
