Comment posted on DoFollow Express: Is Traffic Generation Cafe Getting Off? by Ana Hoffman
Hi Jayne,
Thanks for your uplifting comment. I realized that in this business or even in other aspect in our lives, we will encounter people as you have described. We can’t totally avoid them, but you are right, their traffic is not our concern, so I will continue to do what I am doing which is providing quality blogs for people like you who truly appreciate a blogger’s hard work.
Have a wonderful time with your family this holiday season,
Ana

- I am absolutely with you, Sire - blogging for search engines is something I refuse to do.
However, as you can see on my blog, a little SEO - that doesn’t affect your readers, but rather benefits them - goes a long way.

- I definitely agree, Donace - the plugin is worth its salt! Love the idea behind it, love what it does for my blog and commentators.
I haven’t heard of any alternatives; let me know what you find out.
Welcome to my blog, by the way, and Happy New Year!

- I definitely agree, Paul - if a post doesn’t move me in any way and I’ve got nothing to say about it, I don’t say anything, link or no link.
However, if I learned something from another blogger, a thank you in the form of a comment is in order.
Happy to have made the cut!
I assume it means I will see your here a lot more often. Look forward to it.Ana
- What a compliment to Sire, Kim - great of you to build him up like that. Sounds like I need to spend more time on his blog!

- I struggle with “short and sweet” as well, Kim.

My to-do list now includes all the issues you brought to my attention - thanks so much for that. The good thing about it is the fact that once it’s fixed, it will hopefully stay fixed.
Personally, I have no desire to turn off DoFollow - I consider it a bait and switch and not something I can do to my readers.
So the party here at Traffic Generation Cafe will keep going!

I do have a few suggestions for your list. The two that come to my mind off the top of my head are:
http://attractionmarketingonline.com/
http://clevermarketer.com/
I am sure I can come up with a few more, when I give it some thought.
Have a blessed day, Kim, and thanks for all your great feedback and food for thought.
I love your idea about turning our comment sections into a forum of sorts - there’s a lot of power in that! I might have a post brewing in the mind on the topic…

- This Is Not Your Everyday SEO
I am not quite sure what defines an A-lister these days… However, I do agree, Sire.I stopped reading and commenting on the blogs I consider to be on the A list. My biggest problem with those blogs is that everyone is talking and no one is listening.
Good thing we are here for our readers.

Happy New Year!

- 7 Practical Ways to Keep Your Blog Comments Out Of Spam
I actually hate Akismet and don’t use it on my site, Vhinz. I do all my moderation by hand.The only reason your comment would go into moderation is if you changed your email address (looks like it needs an avatar!) or your website.
Keep commenting; I am listening!

I agree with the comment made by Sathish. I comment on high and low traffic blogs as part of my link campaign but, and I’ve got a big one;-) I only comment on posts that I find interesting or supply me with useful information.
To do otherwise would be soul destroying. I’m not a spamming robot…
I’ve read a few of your posts Ana and have added your site to my small list of “visit often” blogs.
As regards the fair exchange thing (a comment for a link) I think it’s up to the individuals concerned. Like I said, I comment on the value of the post not the value of the link.
Happy New Year to you.
Paul.

i’ve been using superseocomments since about when it first came out. I dont really have a high traffic blog but I always though 1) dofollow 2) garner ‘juice’ from all posts they comment onto a ‘uber’ profile page will meant a MUCH stronger link so more beneficial to them.
Currently I think Yaost’s new SEO plugin is playing with it a bit, will have to verify.Otherwise its a GREAT plugin in my opinion.

Hi Ana, I usually comment in some high traffic blogs mainly for my link building campaign. But whenever I find an article which gives more values to the readers I don’t worry about the Nofollow, dofollow thing. I just post a comment to appreciate the author. The later is the reason that I am commenting here.
