This is how it works for me too. Also, comments are moderated until the first one is approved.

How are you doing? Anything with a link in the comments on my blog staying in moderation---and lately there are a lot of them. The problem is a lot of agents have found the "golden nugget" of leaving links and commenting for link juice---but never learned the etiquette. Happy Holidays. K Hey Tom!

The problem is a lot of agents have found the “golden nugget” of leaving links and commenting for link juice—but never learned the etiquette.

Happy Holidays.

What one needs to remember is that when you agree to accept an email from these folks, you have already given your consent. When I agree to accept comments on my site, I have a set of parameters. Fortunately I have been blogging for a while now and feel I know what readers, and I, like. The fine line of social media and promotion is hard, I understand. I have these ads on the site to support the costs and myself. But there are many other monetization strategies that I could use that would be annoying to my readers. So I avoid those. Finding the balance in this day and age of permission marketing is what will make one successful. Too forward and you will be avoided. To passive and you will not be profitable. But the key to this specific discussion is that I need to do what is best for the readers of the Real Estate Bloggers, so this is the policy I have created. Thanks for the response, Douglas.

Since sales are down, we use every opportunity to find interested parties. Like a television show you don't like, or a radio show, there is an off/on button. If you don't like the show, turn it off, and if you don't like the blogger comment, ignore or delete it. As far as putting a web site link at the bottom of you e-mail I am not offended when Starbucks or Pottery barn or Victory Secret sends me stuff, with their web info....if I want more... I click. If not I don't. Thanks for listening. Realtors work on commission and are paid only if they sell a home to someone like you. Since sales are down, we use every opportunity to find interested parties.
