First, your definition of comment spam is actually correct. Any comment that does nothing to contribute to the content of the blog. Let’s take a look at some of the comments already on your post:

“There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.

“thanks !! very helpful post!”

“You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.”

Ask yourself something now…could these comments appear on any other blog and make sense? The answer is a resounding YES! That’s called comment spam, and for being so staunchly against it, I am quite surprised you allow it on your blog.

Secondly, did you look at your Korean blog example? The comments with any Check City link are….in Korean! Congratulations on that.

Now the question here is this: would you consider this comment spammy? Is the simple act of leaving a comment with a link to Check City instantly make the comment spam, regardless of what is being said in the comment?

So do you owe me $20 because a Check City “spammer” left a non-spam comment on your blog? Please proceed to CheckCity.com and borrow $100 for a little while, I feel that is an adequate way to pay me the $20 owed for this non-spammy comment.

Can I ask you something too? If you are so against comments on blogs for links, why is the first link in your total from a comment on a blog? Just a bit hypocritical, no? Oh wait, your comment wasn’t “spam” because it said more than “nice post.” So how about the hundreds of Check City links on blog comments where the comments are not spam?

All I know is Check City ranks on the second page of “payday loans” on Google, so you may want to rethink your term “army of spammers” to ” army of linkbuilders.” And if you feel link building is a spammy practice, I suggest you stop commenting on blogs as well.
