Can Blog Spam be a Good Sign?
Many bloggers complain of comment spam, which of course is often remedied by a simple plugin (at least for WordPress users). Many others don’t seem to have a problem with spam, but that isn’t necessarily a good thing. It may mean that nobody is visiting their blog. Personally, I hate spam but the fact that I get more and more of it confirms that my blog is getting more and more visibility.
If you aren’t getting spam, check your web stats and see if you are getting visitors, not just viewers, but “bots” as well, which is an indication of how often your site is being spidered by the search engines – which is related to how much online exposure your site or blog has. If no one is finding your site then building traffic is a great place to start.
