Comments are king follow up – p0rn free

Published by at 11:17 pm under blogging,SEO

As a follow up to my comments are king post, you’ll be happy to know I have finally eliminated all searchers looking for p0rn.

In the discussion that ensued on that post, Neerav convinced me that I should feel okay about editing the comments that I referred to. So I changed every incidence of the “undesirable word” to “p0rn” (with a “zero”) in the comments on the offending post.

I did this on the 6th of October. It took a few days for the changes to take effect, but the end result is comprehensive. The second last “peak” was the 6th of October, then falling somewhat for 4-5 days. I have now been officially p0rn free for two days and only one search result the day before. (Sorry about the grainy image).

Eliminating p0rn

At the end of the day, I think this pretty conclusively proves the value of comments in the overall value of content.

    Good to hear you worked it out. That being said I’m not completely disappointed it happen to you because the original sphinn story allowed me to find your site :)

    This will help for a while, Meg. But have you googled p0rn? As your blog has some authority, you’ll soon rank for this term too. And it will start all over again. I hope I am wrong.

    Uh-oh! I see what you mean.
