Just 5 years ago we could read blogs and see not a single ad on them but now we find many “make a million on the internet” blogs, as well as, blogs covered with advertising.

The primary reason I moved this “personal” blog from a free hosted blogging platform was because I saw that the blog host had covered our blogs with adsense. Now I am deleting every commercial link that I receive in comments and I will continue to do so.

I had a few like that when I had a blog with Blogger for a while but they never followed up then. Just what we need, spammers getting even more aggressive.

Hope you have a great break! Time with friends is very precious… I might follow your lead and catch up with a few friends here too. :)

I figure that the comments issue can wait.

I too have had a few that have left comments and I have chosen to delete them and later have gotten another comment, or a contact via my contact form asking why. I have answered these queries honestly and in most cases never heard back from them.

The thing is, these are our blogs, and we have the right to decide what comments we allow and which we do not.
