takerraj 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 I have a wordpress blog and I receive some suspicious comments. I said suspicious because, the people enter their site as chinese site and email address belong to Russia i.e. gmail.ru. Is it possible for people from china to use russian email ID and vice versa. There are around 10 to 15 such comments. Will linking to those sites through comments make google ban me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 First of all, I guess that it's possible to obtain an e-mail address in Russia without leaving in Russia. When I was in the United states I continued using my mail in something.fr without problem.Secondly, there are a lot of ways for sending mails which seem to come from another e-mail address, even a fake address. So, unless being a network expert, it's not easy to know if a mail is really sent by the guy whose name is shown as sender name.And, of course, if you have stupid things in your blog, you should remove them, because people like me will not want to come back to your blog, and neither will be the robot ranking your site.

During commenting they have to fill up the following1. Name2. Their blog address (Optional)3. email4. Comment.I suspect that the blog address they give are suspicious. This is the area of concern. If those sites are malicious then will I be affected by it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tian1405241576 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 The first thing comes to my mind is that did you make you blog as dofollow attribute, right? If you leave your blog as nofollow attribute. I am afraid that the comments would not get some PR juice passed from your page so that the spamming comments would reduce a lot. And you can delete them all if you smell something fishy there and, of course, you check the content of the web linked first. Google do penalize the blog if you link out those they think as bad neighbors. As for they enter the site as Chinese site and email address belong to Russia i.e. gmail.ru. I do not think it would be a problem. We can easily obtain it by this free email server. So the key is that you'd better check their content. If their content is legal, there's nothing worry about it. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recently I have converted all my dofollow attribute to nofollow attribute by using Nofollow reciprocity plugin. Till now I didn't understand what are these dofollow and nofollow attributes. Can somebody tell me what they are and what they do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akashi 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2009 You'll find some pages regarding dofollow and nofollow if you google it (or bing it ).. Some of them are here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atomic0 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 You could implement a CAPTCHA verification image in the comment form if you want to prevent those who spam using bots to fill in the fields and submit the spam comment. However, if it human spam, you might want to try blocking certain IP addresses from posting comments.The best way is to activate the Wordpress plugin Akismet which would screen out spam comments that have already been submitted to their spam database.

fermin25 3 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Google is not going to ban you for that and I don´t think this people be hackers or something because wordpress is a serious enterprise and they are protected from menaces like hackers. But I have to make you a question: What is the propossite of your blog? It is not a blog of warez or hakers of pheakers right? Because if your blog is dedicated to these things you maybe have these visitors because Russia and China are the main hackers countries.Your linking is not going to be alterated. But you maybe have to implement the CAPTCHA like Atomic0 says.I can suggest you that if your blog is a big one you maybe want to contract the services of BlockDos.net or McAffe Secure Internet but these services are very expensive but if your blog makes real money with Adsense you will have not any problem.Well these are my suggestions, althought you can contact to Wordpress.com to get help too.I hope my tips help you.Regards.

takerraj 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 Well, I've tried using Captcha! It didn't worked. I forget it's name, I think it is something like this : Peter's custom antispam or something like that. It didn't worked. Can anyone suggest a good captcha plugin for Wordpress 2.8. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
