Why Do Bloggers Get Comments With Strange Author Names
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkWednesday, March 12, 2008
Would you approve a (blog) comment where the commenter’s name is “Best Way To Loose Weight”? Any sane blogger would never approve such comments even if it is relevant to context. Do you know why?
As comment author is linked with author URL, such comments are obviously intended to highlight the keywords he wants to increase search engine positioning and ranking. Does that sound Latin?
In simple terms, search engines like Google determine the value of a page by looking at the amount and quality of pages that links to it. It also ranks the page higher for keywords which are more frequent in links to that page. Keyword stuffing author name field is how spammers try to increase the SERP (position in search result page) for their target keywords.

Does a normal name hurt PR? Like for my name I put my name: michael, and that ends up linking to me right? Wouldn’t that still help in the long run? I’m confused as to why people would try to “keyword stuff” as you put it if in the long run any and all links help. Anyways, nice post and you’ve got a good blog here, thank you for the info. |
