Now that Marketing Pilgrim is offering a non-nofollow link to the top ten commentators each month, we thought it wise to share our thoughts on comments. Consider this our official comment policy.
- Keep comments on topic - any comment that appears to be off-topic will be edited or deleted.
- No keywords in author names - we prefer that you use your real name or your normal nickname. If we suspect you’re using an author name to simply include targeted keywords, we’ll either edit or delete your comment.
- External linking - external links are ok, if they are relevant to the original post and your comment. Simply linking to your own site will be frowned upon.
- Profanity - we’re PG13 here. Moderate language is allowed, but we reserve the right to edit out anything offensive.
- Personal attacks - personal attacks on the authors or other commentators will result in an immediate ban.
- Gaming the system - we encourage your comments, but we’re watching for any activity that looks like you’re “stuffing the ballot”. If we feel you’re simply adding comments in order to achieve “top 10″ status, we’ll either remove your comments or remove you from the list.
- Editor’s right - While we encourage comments that challenge or offer constructed criticism, we reserve the right to edit or remove any post, for any reason.
We appreciate our readers and thank you for adding to the discussion. We hope the above will help you to add value to Marketing Pilgrim, find value in the comments of others, and continue enjoying the site.
