“Interesting Post” Is SO Not Good SEO
Don’t you just love it when someone comes to your blog and types in “Internesting post”? I mean, it’s nice that they read it–maybe, but I totally doubt that they did, but if they did, nice. But let me ask you why don’t they have anything better to say?
I mean, I get some great comments here. People are totally helpful, start up a discussion, or whatever, and that totally rocks!
But when I see a comment that says, “Interesting post,” I’m SO beyond flattery. LOL I know it’s someone just tyring to get a link back or whatever.
‘Course you’ll notice that I got the smackdown again from Google for having the paid links on my site. I’m a PR 2 again. Big whoop. Page rank means exactly the same thing to me as does “Interesting post.” I totally ignore both of them. The vapid blog comment gets sent right to Akismet.
PLONK!
Am I cranky today or what?
Yes, I am.
Working too hard.
But I have a call coming up tonight. But that should be fun. Some SEO talk: http://easyseotricks.com/paul if you’re interested. This is what I love, so it will be fun. Come on over.

Hi Pat,
I couldn’t agree more. Being fairly new at this, I always get happy when I see a comment on my blog. Until I see something like “interesting post” — and know they didn’t even read my post.
I guess for SEO purposes, it doesn’t matter what your comment is. But you’re saying if you don’t approve the comment they don’t get the SEO benefit I’m assuming. I like the way you think! Only reward those who take the time to add value to your blog.
Thanks for another informative post.

No cogent comment… No link love from me.

Interesting Post!
Sorry, I just had to. More seriously, your comment on Page Rank is probably true, although I go back and forth on the concept. There is certainly some value in the number for the Amazon’s of the world, but for most pages, I agree that it is just kind of irrelevant.

I find it very interesting and even laughable that everyone says that PR doesn’t matter to them … but then they talk about it all the time. Makes you go hmmm …
“Interesting post”, BTW.

I have to agree. When I see those generic “Interesting Post” and similar comments on my blog I generally classify them as spam, maybe even posted by robots. Comments from people who are sincerely interested will contain something relevant that indicates they actually read the post.
