One of the things you may not know about blogging is that if your blog gets any significant traffic, you get a lot of what is called “comment spam” – in which various peddlers of pornography, scams, drugs, forex trading systems, ad. infinitum – try to get a “backlink” to their crap websites by making a comment.

     Here’s my rule: if you want a backlink, you can have as many as you want from this blog provided your comments show you read the blog post you are commenting on and you aren’t linking to a “bad neighborhood” website like some porn thing. Anybody with a lick of sense should be able to figure out what “respectful use” means – be cool and contribute here and you’re welcome to use my blog to build your traffic, get backlinks for your own blogs or websites, or just get your name out there. All of these are legitimate ways to get your business going online. I comment on other blogs frequently myself and I totally recommend it as a marketing strategy.

     Spam Policy: I don’t spam, ever. If you’re on my email lists you’ll get commerical promotions to be sure – but if you ever get spam about viagra, porn, or stuff like that coming from me, let me know because that means I’ve been hacked. This hasn’t happened yet, but if you were an email marketer or blogger you would want to know if somebody hijacked your readers, right?

     Thanks.
