Scating on the edge
I got three comments in my moderation queue a few days ago. I didn’t approve them, even though they were obviously entered by hand and on topic. Why? I’ll tell you later, but first let’s check them out:

Commenting on “MSN algo change more spammy”
I agree. simply by looking at my own site..just started 7 days back and now i have 1000 pages indexed in MSN already. Talk abt. getting crawled. It used my 10mb b/w to crawl the pages.
Thanx, Admans.

Commenting on “Netsphere domain parking”
I have been in discussion at the digitalpoint thread. This is very serious issue.
Thanx, Admans.

Let me introduce to you:
Saurav Bhaduri
General Adsense and SEO addict
Check out the general type of posts he makes on Digitalpoint.
So, why am I ticked off at him?
He entered manual comments, and on topic, so what’s wrong?
He used HTML in his comments, entering two links to his key sites under a few characters of his name, so that it looks like this:
To me, that looks like an attempt to sneak by me links I otherwise might not have approved. Bloggers get one link (and he had one in the website field too), but I don’t want to see links on my blog for commercial sites of that ilk.
Don’t let me catch anyone doing that again…

I paged through his posting history on Digitalpoint, and found a thread where he offered to sell links. All blogspot blogs have since been removed. I assume they were removed by blogspot, but who knows. I guess they could have been splogs? No way to know this long after the fact, of course.
But the general point here is that you’re generally likely to see links from several sources on splogs in the future. And my advice would be to NOT buy links on splogs, for all kinds of reasons.
Oh my, I found a reference to one of those splogs, for lifting content without permission. And one guy who responded to Admans request to review his blogs, saying they’re splogs.
