I think I may be banned by Akismet, but I’m not sure. I think it may be when I enter certain URLs in the website field. Ashish, any chance you could let me know if I end up in your spam filter?

I would like to know if this comment ends up in your spam folder. I’m not sure whether I am being marked as spam by Akismet. Thanks

Akismet sucks big time!!! I am so pissed of at it. I do leave comments for getting backlinks but I always read posts and articles and when I leave comment it is always something useful to discussion. It is never just few words. I even check my comments to see if anyone has replied and then reply on replies and now I am banned. I mean really, what a shitty plugin.u00a0

I see that more blogs are using Akismet, nhow to comment on these sites?

Posting links in your comments is a big NO, many blog owners don’t like that and hit “SPAM” button even without knowing the purpose. You should avoid that.

Yep, I am banned by Akismet, I do only manual commenting and yes, I do put links but I wrote sensible comments, not spammy like Scrapeboxs’ u00a0

You can trying writing to Akismet and ask for an unban (doesn’t usually work) or just buy a new domain and redirect it. Or … don’t comment on WordPress blogs!

Yeah Akismet is evil. Your competitors can easily get you banned and it’s enough to prevent blog commenting from being a viable traffic generation method – even if those comments are excellent. Damn you Akismet!

@twitter-221360375:disqus Great page, thanks for sharing it. After some testing on that page they ban the email address and not the name or the URL. So change the email address that you use to blog comment and you are good to go. I will be a lot more careful.

I would like to know if someone flagged me or after a # of comments within X amount of time Akismet is programmed to flag you?

Does anyone know how that works?

I just did an online check and it said I was banned. I spent the better part of the day blog commenting. My comment shows here so are you not using Akismet or what?

If this comment gets through then you don’t use Akismet.
