Why The Blog Comment Moderation Very Important?

Comments, something that is very easy to be found today, both in relationships, social media, even in a blog though. The content of the comment itself is nothing important there are not important, there are building, but some are dropped.

Then How does it we respond to these comments? Is there a best way if we find all kinds of comments on blogs that we have? Find the answers to the following brief review.

As we know, the comment box is one of the important elements in a blog. Although some people may prefer to eliminate the common features of this one, but its presence is very much bring benefit if we are able to manage it well.

Advantages of Having Columns Comments on Blogs

A comment box can be a bridge between readers and the blog owner. With comments and reply comments, readers and blog owners will become more familiar as communicate. The blog owner can get the input of different viewpoints on the topic of the article of those commenting on his blog.

Another advantage of the existence of a blog comment box is able to make your blog look more lively and crowded. In fact it is possible that there may be a comment that its own value for posts and blogs we have. For example, if the blog we discuss about the review or tutorial. A comment from readers who have tried to implement what is in the text can affect other readers to perform or seek other alternatives of a review or tutorial we share.

That's where the power of a comment is. It can have a positive impact when the commentators give good comments, but it can also have a negative impact when the commentators give bad comments on what we write or leave a comment SPAM disturbing. So is there a way to filter out comments that not all unpublished comments directly to the article on the blog?
Moderation Manually and Using Plugins

Some blog service has a feature that can moderate the comments. With this feature we can determine which comments are eligible to appear in the relevant posts on our blog.

This feature is owned by the blog services like Blogger and WordPress, WordPress users even given a feature called Akismet plugin which can filter out comments that are considered as SPAM. Then, if we have to do moderation comment?

For me personally, moderate comments is something that is important and should be done. I regularly moderate the comments that go to my blog because often I find the comment is SPAM whose contents completely unrelated to the article. In fact, there are also comments that only contains a link to a web or blog spammer without special words that they addressed to posts made, as shown below.


Therefore to avoid comments such as these, in addition to using the Akismet plugin I also moderate any comments entered manually. Comments that are too short or not related to the content of the article I definitely remove.
Some Bloggers Not Moderating Comments on Blog They

In contrast to some of the bloggers I know, they prefer not to moderate the comments that go to his blog. So, every time the person submitting the comment, the comment will be directly visible (live) in their blogs. Actually there is good as well, because the poster was pleased his comments directly visible. The problem is, now is a lot of spammer who utilize the features of the comment column to put a link for SEO purposes.

Comment SPAM usually do not correspond to your articles and websites contain links, and even most of the spammer is using software to submit a comment. Of course, comments like this is absolutely no benefit to your blog. Precisely by letting SPAM comments containing links that are not useful will make your blog look professional.

In addition, there is also a blogger who found the comments field is not so important because it will bother them for selecting or picking out a decent commentary aired and will fulfill your email inbox used to get notifications. Some people prefer to remove the comment box feature in their blogs so as not to bother taking care of incoming comments.

In my opinion, regardless of whether or not moderate the critical commentary, should we have to continue to provide space for the reader to channel what they think of writing that we publish. Moderated or not, it is our choice as the owner of the website or blog. Clearly, we should be able to 'populist' by the readers and give them space to give their opinions, questions, and suggestions useful and related to the article that we post.
