Looking to make some additions to ours to reduce spammers and improve quality, but adding 'dofollow' seems like wouldn't help the situation and would just cause more comments to moderate? Appreciate your thoughts. Mark Hi Matt,

How effective were your modifications to your blog? Looking to make some additions to ours to reduce spammers and improve quality, but adding ‘dofollow’ seems like wouldn’t help the situation and would just cause more comments to moderate?

Appreciate your thoughts.

Mark

I have to. I'm sometimes away from the blog and even the Internet for several hours at a time, and with traffic increasing, I think there's a better chance of being hit with comment spam. Sean - thanks for the ideas there. I'll keep an eye on those numbers for sure. Dave (Hawaii) — I think I’ll always require login/registration. I have to.

A side benefit is these two tactics assembled in series are likely to increase site visits to feed reader ratio. I'm interested to hear how this affects your visits to the site over time. You might want to publicize this in some way graphically to let new visitors know your policy as well. Matt:
