I Found Myself Not Approving Because of Facebook

This week, I've got a bunch of awesome comments on one of my mortgage sites. One was 300 words, on topic... and, I'm ashamed to say, better than anything I've put on that site. They all are for backlinks to facebook profiles. They all had one word consistently misspelled.... credit was creidit... Are they going for a misspelled keyword?

I don't know what's in those profiles, so I removed the link. Kept the comments, feel bad about it... there was serious thinking that went into them.

Any of you got that kind of comment? I mean, except for the 1 misspelled keyword, the English was perfect, college grad level; the information was excellent, it had to do with what was in my article.... Was information I've marked for writing articles on. And, one of them, obviously a mortgage guy with experience, put it better than I've yet to do.

I just don't want to allow links to what I cannot see. And I cannot see their profiles unless I ask to be friends and they approve. And I don't want to be bothered. Even though the comments were excellent.

How are people going to get their profiles up when there are people like me around?

By the way, in this day and age, why would anyone do that? I stopped bothering with profiles because they seemed to have lost their mojo. Have they not? Have they done it only for me? Am I the only one who reads article after article about how they're not as good as they used to be?

Well I certainly would not allow a link to something I cannot check out. Also, what is the point since other people are not going to see that profile either?

Secondly, is there really any reason to go for mispellings as search terms? Most people still use Google, which is very rigorous in correcting everything you put in. I'm constantly having to reinput search terms with a + before them, because I need to find a word in a foreign language or I'm searching on an obscure scientific term and G insists on giving me a totally irrelevant "correct spelling"!

Used to be that Google did give you the incorrect spelling search results. But that's ancient history. Apparently, some people don't know that. Or do and have no problem selling the idea to people who don't know much about SEO.

I wouldn't want to approve links that go to profiles I can't read about. I usually don't friend or follow somebody when I can't read something about them. I think you made a good decision there.

Someone's surely selling someone on "I'll get your profiles link juice." Which begs the question, how do they do it and why people buy this. I mean, I know it sounds good... but I'm pretty sure people don't approve links to what they cannot see. Which means you'd get them only from sites that auto approve and those are loaded with crap.

Be careful, it does sound like they are after something for sure.

I'd search the content of those comments. Odds are, the content was stolen and being plastered all over the web.

I know. I changed the wording, kept the ideas. They were great. Removed the links too.
