The Fallacy Some Bloggers Buy Into With Comment Spammers

I learned early on in blogging that comment spam is not always easy to detect.  At the same time I kept my blogs set to moderate comments something that does curb comment spam.  I also learned how to strip a comment spammer's URL so they don't get any link love.  Without link love a spammer will move on providing it isn't a bot.  However, some bloggers let every comment go through falling the fallacy that the more comments the better.  It is not true that the more comments you have on the blog the better.  Sure it gives you a bit of cheap traffic but at the same time it cheapens your blog.  If every blogger blocked comment spam the spammers would move on making life a bit more pleasant for all bloggers.
