For quiet some time I have promoted on this two online communities BumpZee and BlogCatalog. Today the widget showing the latest visitors were removed. This was done simply because I am not active on this blog and write here very sporadically. It is very unlikely that I will ever build a substantial community around this blog. I do think that many of the information found here is useful and therefore this blogs will continue it life for another year.
In the past to encourage commenting on this blog, a dofollow plugin was installed. The drawback of it was that this blog ended on every possible spam list imaginable. The “comment monkeys” (aka spammers) had really taken advantage of clean SEO friendly links from this blog when leaving comments, while some who truly contributed to this blog with their well thought reviews did not even bother to leave a link to their website. While I always been strong supporter in favor of removing “nofollow” from the comments on blogs, it should only be done on blogs diligently monitored. Otherwise a blog may become spammers paradise. To prevent that, the “nofollow” attributes yet again are implemented on this blog.
