Blogspotting Business Week
Good-bye to Blogspotting (Moving to TheNumerati.net)
|
|
Twenty-three years ago, when I was a general assignment reporter at a soon-to-be defunct paper, the El Paso Herald-Post, I got a fabulous job offer. BusinessWeek asked me to open a bureau in Mexico City. If you had asked me at that juncture what a board of directors was for, or to distinguish between revenue and earnings, I would have been stumped. I had never covered business before (unless you count oil in Venezuela), and I didn't know much about it. But BusinessWeek, I soon learned, was chock full of knowledgeable, friendly and forgiving folks who helped people like me learn on the job.
My career at BusinessWeek, which wraps up tomorrow, was an education. I'd start ignorant, and then learn on the job from sources and colleagues. That's the great privilege of journalism, and BusinessWeek was the best place imaginable for it. When I was sent from Pittsburgh to Paris to cover technology in 1998, I knew far more about blast furnaces than semiconductors. When I came back to New York four years later as acting technology editor, I'd never worked as an editor or covered technology in the United States. People helped, and picked me up.
Many of those people are already scattered, and dozens more are leaving with me. I'd say I'll miss them, but I plan to stay with them on the networks. Why would I ever venture out alone when I have the greatest colleagues? They're the treasure of my career, and to forgo them at this point would be insane.
And so I move on. This is my last post at Blogspotting.net. A big thanks to Heather for the great company on this ride, and to all of you for your intelligence, feedback and friendship. We'll stay in touch, I hope, at TheNumerati.net, and on your blogs and Twitter feeds. (I'm @stevebaker.)
I still haven't figured out how to store the archives of Blogspotting. But I plan to write an email to the incoming editor in chief of BW, Josh Tyrangiel, asking him please not to pull the plug.

Blogging Tips
Examples of Comment Spamming in Blogger
|
|

 The following is the image of a comment:

This comment was sent to me today. You see, this looks a lot like a very legitimate comment, with a proper link, and other details.
But wait! Google a sentence from the comment. You will find that there are dozens and dozens of blogs and other pages, where the same comment appears. This is a comment spam! You see, I readily hit the 'Reject' option.
Here is another copy. In this, the link is different from the first one.

I don't know, who publishes these comments as the Blogger profiles from which they are posted are not available. But one thing is for sure. If you allow such comments to be published, you will victimize yourself to the duplicate content penalties. Please read this post to see how severe duplicate content problem can be.
This is why I have posted an image of the spam, and not the text itself.
This is not an isolated attempt. There are people creating identical comments and posting them across domains to see their links appearing in others' blogs. Here are a few steps to stay safe from these commenters.
Comment Moderation Tips
1. Don't ever let a comment go unmoderated. Automated spam filters like Akismet are still pretty useless. One thing you can do, if you get massive amount of comments, is disabling further comments in quite established conversations.
2. Enforce a very strict comment policy, and show an example by deleting any comment that doesn't follow the policy.
3. If you get an elaborate comment, do check in Google for one of the sentences to see if it is a legitimate comment or has copies allover the Net. Any comment that is elaborate, grammatically perfected, touching the topic only lightly, or not touching the topic at all, may be a spam.
4. If you find any such spam comment in any blog, let the blogger know of it.
5. Stop anonymous comments, and set your blog up so that only verified users can comment.

The Ultimate Formula for Success

My last post here, How to do 500 Times Better than AdSense, got a lot of buzz and a lot of Tweets and generated my first real dose of reader hate.
That’s cool; if you’re not stirring the pot a little bit, chances are you’re not making an impact.
