Comment Signature Results

Agreed. I do not mind signature results, but I feel for all the new do-follow blogs, people are starting to spam URL's. I feel someone should make the commenter's name do-follow, but any other links/signature inside the post nofollow, or even removed.

Yah, there really is no reason to leave a signature after your comment if you have a link to your website above the comment. Glad this was the decision as I don't like to scroll anymore than I have to in order to write a comment.

Hehe, totally agree with Rob. Accepting comments with a signature in it only encourage people to spam your blog.

I'm incredibly happy to hear that the outcome was so one-sided. I think that the extra link in your signature automatically makes me not want to visit your site...seems like a snake oil saleman tactic to me.

Leaving a signature is definitely in bad taste. It's like.. Hey.. Im just here to let you know about my site

I agree with the results here. It is always nice to see that there are other bloggers thinking like me!

I think it's okay as long as you don't link it using a href tag...

Nice to hear that! I will not post my signatures on comment.

Sure, everyone have different opinions. IMO, it's ok as long your comments are within the topic. BOW!!! :wink:

I wonder why the post asking for a sample signature was anonymous. Was it someone from here itself who posted it so he could put in his 'sample sig'?

as for me it really makes me sick when i see the sig in a comment... i'm completely agree with the first commentator on here - Iantrepreneur: "Blog networks are not forums".

May be you can limit only 1 line or 50-80 characters for the signature. It may be useful for bloggers to promote their blogs.

i was really in lack of topic for my blog n then i got ur ebook and voila i got the topic there. it was fun to read ur book n to write something worse for it too. any way i have ditched u in my review but in a respectable way. thank u :smile:

Personally, i don't like comment signatures too.

Btw, any news on your nobody blog, Mr. Chow? :twisted:

I think signature in the comment is not right. It should be done only when one needs to share some very valuable information with his fellow friends. Otherwise just for linking purpose I feel it should not be allowed.

I'm really glad I read all of the comments on this post. :roll:

There is enough spam as it is without these

If you have a well written or explanation comment then you would not have to worry people not visiting your blog through that URL. :mrgreen:

hey money blue book, thxs.

i see, what's the point of a signature if you're already linked from your header.

what a waste of an experiment

This would be an example of a signature. :twisted:
-Raymond's signature
www.moneybluebook.com

Good choice. It will only weed out the people who don't really want to join in the conversation.

will someone show me an example of a signiture?

Oops!!
Oh well...haha....I sometimes include my signature..but I guess I'll have refrain from now on! :wink:
-Raymond

I agree that the idea of comment signatures is a little over the top. I'd say that as long as they link their name (and they could even use their site name as the commenter name) then that should be enough.
They wouldn't get on my nerves, probably, but I can see why it would bother a lot of people.

Yea theres no reason for sigs, same goes for forums, its unnecessary

For John's next trick, he'll show us how to stop people from splogging, right? Please?

How's your anonymous start up blogging going btw?

Ban them!

I think it is not wise to spam in comments, I don't get it the author will delete it sooner or later if it is spam, so why is this all for?
Besides spam comments are polluting and distracts people from the discussion. COMMENT is not a place for signatures or spams, it is for your comments. Am I so angry :mrgreen:

John, you say you're not banning comment signatures but then you ask people to refrain from leaving signatures when commenting. Isn't that saying two different things?

Totally agree that no sig is needed since it's already in name.

If i see someone leaving their sig, i feel like they are commenting just to get traffic.

So John do you visit commentators websites... :lol: You should to keep us happy :wink:

I couldn't agree more. Leave the SPAM out of comments. John Chow for president :)
