Learning from Blog Comments and Interaction

Posted by Professor as Blog Tutorial, Community Building, Linking, Monetization, Spam, Tips

Blogging is not mainly a one way stream of blurting out the things that go around in the mind of a person. It is also about inheriting various insights and ideas from another person’s point of view that may or may not share the same belief on certain areas for consideration.

With Akismet, it classifies and blocks possible spam comments by visitors, putting some fence over possible link building practices to grab traffic and visitors towards their sites.
