I totally agree with all you've said, I always visit my commenter's blog - with the exception of those that say "Nice, I'd love for you to come and link to my blog party on XXX at XXX.blogspot".

I posted this in September last year and it's still going very strong today! People really HATE it! I don't know what benefit it really is to these people to leave crappy comments. Because as far as I can tell, only n00bs that are being duped fall for it.. and still not too many would.<br />It's so much better for the comment, the blogger etc. to take a little more time and write a REAL comment. That way someone may actually care and go to your site. :P heheKirsty Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06099070132486640339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-42740392555067013412011-04-05T21:32:52.128-04:002011-04-05T21:32:52.128-04:00the title of your blog intrigued me while blurfing...the title of your blog intrigued me while blurfing around!

But I am floored by the brash comments people leave to basically advertise their blog giveaway, shop, party etc. <br />You would not do that in real life, right? I can't even think of an example of how that could translate. It would almost be like handing your business card out to everyone you met, but worse!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678479642107788883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-91584283447527290742011-04-05T19:44:05.594-04:002011-04-05T19:44:05.594-04:00Another wonderful and informative post.

For example, if I read a recipe for French Toast on someone else's blog, and I have a really similar recipe with a few subtle changes which I'd like to share with the blogger, is it 'spam' to leave the link to my blog? I am never sure, so I never do, because I don't want to come across as getting free advertising. On the other hand, I think thoughtful and appropriate links like that can add to the conversation. Would love to know your thoughts.Rivki Lockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288838905504852656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-31888520137528502022011-04-05T17:22:01.318-04:002011-04-05T17:22:01.318-04:00Amanda-

I rarely enter giveaways, and I do see those "spammed" across many a comment section. <br /><br />I remember when I first started blogging, I participated in a few blog hops. It felt like speed dating. People were just using each other for the numbers... Wasn't my thing. <br /><br />I wish there would have been this series when I started...<br /><br />But, here's a question for you, how does promotion of link parties play into this? <br /><br />I will always link up my posts to those who leave a good comment and invite me, but just a straight up spammed invite...well, it depends on my mood...LOL...<br /><br />I'd love to know your thoughts on this...nicolette {momnivores dilemma}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17056390328286016118noreply@blogger.com
