I want to encourage comments and offer you some value in return for your time here. And while this blog is relatively new, the domain itself is 7 years old (from my days as a database developer), and it does pretty well for itself in terms of getting indexed quickly and ranking well for search terms.

So I added a plugin for WordPress called, simply, “Do Follow.” The Do Follow plugin is easy to install, and if you have a WordPress blog, this is a great option.

So. The Catch.

The catch is that I moderate my comments, and only comments with actual value, and that indicate the commenter has actually read the post, will be approved. In other words, no spam, and nothing weird, hateful, yada yada yada.

Yesterday, I was reading an article about Google Wave’s cool features on 12Words, when I noticed the “Blog Comments and Spam Policy” posted by 12Words’ author, Chowdary. It expressed my own intentions so well, that I asked Chowdary for permission to plagiarize it, or at least paraphrase it (which is the same thing, unless you have permission), and he kindly agreed.

So without further ado, if you plan to comment on Crunchy Data, The Content Writer, please read my “Comments and Spam Policy” first.

And if I find in the future that there are too many comments to continue this, I will try to leave the existing do-follow links in place.

Thank you for reading Crunchy Data’s The Content Writer!
