Leaving your url in comments. Dont!

YapYapYap. I know most “pro” bloggers tell you that leaving your url in the comments is a great way of getting your site out there as well as getting some back links but dont do it.

(I am not speaking about the place you can put your url in. I am talking about the comment section where you actually type your comment)

Leaving your url in comments makes a person think what your intentions are for commenting. Are you commenting to get a url to your site or are you commenting to be part of a community?

Leaving your url in a comment is like stealing a link back. It’s right there next to spam.

In case you did not notice, you can leave your name and your url in the built in system in Wordpress. If someone wants to know more about you they can click on it.

It’s so annoying when people do that. You name and url is in the comment. STOP REPEATING YOURSELF.

    I also really dont get it when a blogger would leave a link to his/her site as a signature at the end of their comments.

    Never mind that it is spam, but is he/she saying to me that i am stupid enough to not know that their name has a link to their site?!?!?!

    I mean really… what even worse is you get those who leave all links to their different sites, nogal!!! for example:

    Obakeng, The Chief,
    site1 link
    site2 link
    site3 link

    I mean really!!! And you might even get that they are just useless money making sites!!!
