Hay Chris, I don't blame you for making this decision. The truth is that almost immediately after you posted on "how to get a PR 5 link" he number of cmments on each post exploded. Obviously its great to have a lot of reader interaction but if most of them are just drive-by comments trying to grab an easy link there's not much value in them.

Well, I truly understand that this is only way out (or the way you prefer it to be, Chris). Still you offer many ways for your readers to obtain a PR5 link, which is more than many other blogowners. @Joe Placing a lot of relevant comments on a blog is not really what I call "to have earned" a high PR backlink ;) Casper @mymoneyblog.info’s last blog post..Urgent Update For Blog Owners

Chris,I like reading your posts plus notification on twitter helps to keep up. The nofollow is understandable but as Joe above mentioned a bit disappointing, a thought how long will the “do follow” go for did cross my mind as good things, such as pr5, often do not last long.

Although disappointed Chris, I'll still continue to comment and visit often. I still think you should punish those who spam you, while rewarding those of us who contribute regularly. Personally, I'm subscribed to a dozen or so blogs. I've picked blogs I can learned something from, develop a relationship with the blog owner, and continue building links. That is (or the original reason) why I'm here. :) Joe’s last blog post..Colleen Lane: Cool And Composed

Chris, In my humble opinion - No matter what, you would always get spammy comments. Even if you talked about making it NOFOLLOW here in this post, spammers (people using KEYWORDS as anchor) not gonna read this post before spamming (Unless you plan to make them read your comment policy before posting every comment. It's in a way injustice to regular people and commentators to your blog, and that would probably save your comment moderation efforts in return of no faith of your readers in you. I am sure you must have gained loyal readership and retained it until now, through the PR5 link post to begin with.

Chris, I agree spammers are an annoying lot and you are right to take action against it. The bottom line is, this is your domain and you can do anything you want. I like your win-win idea to give something back to your users. I’d just comment on the keyword spam. If the “Car Sales” or “Dog Treats” come to the site and see “Make Money Online” they may assume it is OK to use keywords although you asked all of us not to do it.

This is depressing :(. Spam comes even if you'll deactivate the plugin. The only thing will help you is "comment moderation". OR Atleast you should help your regular reader n commenters by linking back to them in your blogroll. Dave’s last blog post..View Twitter (tweets) updates from Microsoft Excel

Frankly Chris, it's a inappropriate measure to deactivate a plugin when you promised to offer a PR5 link and other link love. There are many of us who have offered our comments and have not spammed you and should be given the link love we have earned. You might consider not approving those who are spamming as opposed to disapproving those of us who have been faithful and loyal to you. Joe’s last blog post..Colleen Lane: Cool And Composed
