Thank you, Kyle, for a perfect example of not engaging with my article. :)

What I am saying is that any comment you get where your audience appears disengaged is more than likely robotic spam. They are very good often times at aligning generalized comments at your site (appearing real) and sometimes you will get some really funky stuff that is obvious.

But yeah, some people are offer lame comments. That happens everywhere you go, sometimes a lame comment is automated though and that is all I am getting at.

Yes. I see your point.

What I was referring to was not spam, though, but real comments. Ones that indicates that your audience is not connecting, not engaging, not fully understanding your message. I only spoke of spam for the sake of comparison.

Their comments, therefore appear lame or confused, and this is a message to you, the author, that you need to do more work to fully engage your audience.

It's one thing to get an experienced WA professional to review your site and give you some very technical advise. It's quite another to have you target audience respond in a manner that indicates some confusion about your message. If your audience doesn't "get it" then it's the authors responsibility to fix that, or your audience will drift away.
