The Scratch My Back Marketing Anti Spam Plugin Download Page
April 14, 2009
Update April 2010: I have no way of tracking how many people have downloaded this plugin. I did have one person comment that they downloaded it. He noted that it is working well. It was had a strange effect on this blog. Spam went away for about a week. Then a new kind of spam began to occur. I call it sugar spam. Sugar spam always tells you how great your blog is without ever commenting on the post. I use the spam comments for fresh content without ever providing a link.
Now the original post:
The Scratch My Back Plugin Marketing plugin was developed to prevent the submitting of what I like to call “drive bye comments.” These are those very short comments such as “thanks for the post” or “nice post.” These are nothing more than lazy comment spam drivel. These comments are generally deleted on moderated blogs. The downside for the blog owner is that these comments waste our time while we delete them. A couple of minutes here and there add up over time. And the last time that I checked there wasn’t any extra available. This plugin eliminates this problem.
I had attempted to control these short comments by asking for a minimum of a 20 word comment requirement to acquire link. I did this at the end of each post. After 8 months of having my requests almost completely ignored I finally to action and created this anti spam plugin which I call Scratch My Back Marketing.
The whole idea behind Scratch My Back Marketing, as a marketing program, was the exchange of a useful comment or content for a useful Do Follow backlink. The problem was that my commenter’s were not buying into this idea and leaving a useful comment. These drive bye comments were still wasting my time. I also saw them as an insult from those lacked gratitude. The blog is Do Follow and it uses Keyword and Comment Luv. I thought that this should be worth a decent effort on the commenter’s part. However, I was wrong!
That’s when I decided to force the issue by adding a plugin that requires a minimum of 150 characters comment. This threshold can be raised. You can make the requirement anything above 150 if you like. Those comments that do not meet or exceed this requirement are automatically rejected. When the plugin was implemented I got a few comments that looked like this “nice post !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…” These people would stay on one character until they reached the 150 requirement. We quickly adjusted the plugin to prevent this. While this plugin does not solve all spam problem entirely it does nicely address the issue of short useless comments.
The whole idea behind the Scratch My Back Marketing plugin got its genesis from the Scratch My Back Marketing program. This idea here was to leaving useful comments and content while link building in exchange for useful backlinks. The SMBM program also emphasized branding, networking, and advertising while link building. The idea here is to multitask and thus improve your ROI. It really doesn’t take much longer to leave a useful comment than a spammy one, especially when you consider that your short spammy comment will likely be deleted.
We have also developed a website that is based on the principals of SMBM. It is called the Do Follow Websites. This site provides instructions, directions, and screen shots that show you how to acquire 66 Do Follow Backlinks on Web 2.0 Social Media sites. The cost of this program is $9.90. The basic idea here is to add quality content and comments in exchange for valuable Do Follow Backlinks, most of which are anchor text.
If you download the plugin I have an additional perk for you. I will provide free access to the Do follow Website in exchange for an honest review of the site which should appear on your blog. Simply click on this link and let me know. I will then send you an invitation to the program.
Are you ready to put an end to drive bye comment spam?

OK I really have nothing else to say.

Ohh that’s great, but will this page really help to me ? since i don’t have installed any pluggin yet which could automatically delete all spam comments that comes to my way.
I am absolutely loving this 150 character minimum! It is astounding that so many people ignored your request for a 20 word comment minimum, when they only wanted to say “great post” to get a link back to their site. Boo!
I personally have been looking for a plugin like this for awhile. I use Akismet for spam protection but I am always having to go through the comments marked as spam and weed out the good from the bad. This plugin will make life a little bit easier and give me some extra time to write meaningful posts on my blog! Thanks!

Hi,
I think your scratch my back marketing plugin is a great idea and I’m trying it out on my one of my blogs.
The blog is really just set up as a convenience for myself, to try to be organized and have ready access to useful resources that I come across and want to get back to.
Now,we’ll see how much it helps with cutting down on spam.
Thank you,
Todd
Very interesting. I am more interested to this one. Can you elaborate further? Anyway, I knew of a tool that effectively drives traffic to your website. That is offline advertising. For example, I’ve had great luck with postcards, display ads, classified ads and recently radio advertising, which I am finding very interesting for driving qualified leads to my business.
I am sure you probably tell people this somewhere else on your site, but I would like to point out to any newbies how to tell a dofollow link from a nofollow link. This is kind of critical to Scratch My Back Marketing.
A “no follow” link has this in the link html: rel=”nofollow”, like this:
Tucson SEO
and a do follow link does not have that present. So in your browser, you can select from the top menu View->Source or similar, and look at the source code of the page, and see if the links in question are dofollow or nofollow. Further, there are browser plugins available that mark the links with a line thru them or with say a pink background if they are nofollow, saving you the time of looking through the source code.
Well, it looks like up above you got some fairly nice comments, yet you are not linking to them – so is your comment luv just a scam on your part, to get people to contribute and then not give back the dofollow link?
Admin: You need to read the comment policy better.
Let’s get real here you are not here for the great content you are here for links!
Comment Luv has been removed to reduce spam!
You have done something to end up getting caught by my spam filter!
