		<description>Justeen-bot,

This is an example of what not to do when it comes to promoting a site. Throwing spammy comments into entirely unrelated posts is a waste of time. You'll get sent to the Akismet spam filter quickly or, worse, somebody will replace your link with a link for a similar company that paid for a review on their site. :twisted:

You see, if you had been smart, you could have paid for a review like &lt;a href="http://www.badcreditoffers.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Bad Credit Offers&lt;/a&gt; did. It would have been "nofollowed" but it still would have been yet another doorway page to your site.

Or, if you didn't mind waiting a month or so and had a decent enough mini-site or niche blog to qualify, I would have reviewed it for free which would have meant at least 4 &lt;b&gt;FOLLOWED&lt;/b&gt; links with targeted keywords like Brian got in his review. But Noooo, you had to go the comment spam route. Too bad.</description>

		<description>Hi Brian,

Your theme was quite impressive. It's always good to see something new and original.

Writing good articles is always a challenge. I could see the improvement in your more recent articles.

		<description>Thank you so much for the review!

It gave me a great look at my blog from a new outsider's opinion!

I was not aware of those glitches in the categories.  Thanks for the heads up, they're fixed.

You're right, I am thinking about writing an eBook.  And I'm actually finishing up my first Wordpress template.  :-)

Hm...
Thanks for the pointers on my articles.
In the not-so-distant past I had really poor attempts at blog posts.  But, I've been trying to improve the quality, and I've increased my traffic immensely.  :-)
I am always trying to improve the quality of my posts.

Thanks for the tips!</description>
