It might be the end of high pr blog commenting as people will see less and less value in these links and for people who have seen their sites penalized, they are asked to get rid of the spammed comments and request a reconsideration in GWT.

oes tsetnoc also facing daily lot of spam comments too, we hope this step of google help lot og bloggers to control comment spaming
Here are some tips suggested by google to avoid spamming:
Comments can be a really good source of information and an efficient way of engaging a site’s users in discussions. This valuable content should not be replaced by gibberish nonsense keywords and links. For this reason there are many ways of securing your application and disincentivizing spammers.
- Disallow anonymous posting.
- Use CAPTCHAs and other methods to prevent automated comment spamming.
- Turn on comment moderation.
- Use the “nofollow” attribute for links in the comment field.
- Disallow hyperlinks in comments.
- Block comment pages using robots.txt or meta tags.
Oh, I hope so that that works out! I finally found a set-up that avoids most spam comments (captcha and “human” moderation) but some are still getting through. Nevertheless I am not a big fan of setting links in comments to nofollow, I do want to reward commenters that leave quality content on my blog, but I do edit out dodgy urls! SY
and how difficult it is to your own blog?
fabulous idea … we would learn … great.
Very good and useful communication. The very recently I was searching the internet this topic and all discussion related to it.
