Why you should require authorization for every comment
by admin on Sep.04, 2008, under Blogs, Suggestions, Wordpress
One main reason that you should require authorization for every comment and trackback/pingback for your blog is this: If you don’t, spam will get through and that will negatively rank your blog/website. It even has the possibility to show up your search results on search engines. I have seen this first hand, and it makes your site look very unprofessional and very spammish. I would take the extra 2 minutes and look through your comments and approve or mark as spam. This is minimal effort with great benefits and should be undertaken by any serious blogger or website administrator. Setup your options so it notifies you of any comment awaiting authorization and keep your blog looking great and appearing professional.
