DISQUS

I like UBERVu too, looks like it's definitely one of those disruptor apps that comes along every once in awhile and shakes up the space. This'll make a big difference to a lot of people.

I think its a bit of sheaty thing to do, yet people are going to exploit it and use it. I think the guy will get lots of takers and it could well be an issue for the dofollow community. That said, most of the time I'll only link to legitimate stuff anyway, so even if I have a quaility comment, I'll still delink it if it links to some crap like pharmz or zinos or pr0n.

Another flag for me is anchor text. If I now someone online well enough and I like them too, then I'll let it slide if they come in with a little anchor text to their site. In fct I might even encourage it.

I suspect that people who use this service will expect good anchor text too. IOW, I'd say to bloggers out there looking to avoid this kind of stuff to just watch what your commenters are saying , look at their sites, and their anchor text. If all 3 make you go hmmn, then just hit that old delete button. Well thats what I 'd do anyway.

Im using them on my tech seoblog vlad, but suspect I'll take them down.

Just to echo the sentiments of others, I think they might well be fine for the non marketers of this world but my experience thus far isnt exactly fab - to be honest I didnt expect it to work too well, it was more a case of confirming a curiosity. Still, Im 16 cents richer than what I once was :D

If anything its taught me that it could be a good thing to use as an advertiser, mainly for driving traffic to higher performing end product pages.

At first i never really got that whole twitter thing, it got me saying stuff like wtf etc. But yeah, it does get you in a funny kind of way, and I do find myself logging in and out of it to see whats up and stuff. I disabled the phone IM thing, as that would have just driven me bananas!

Oops just noticed that this is an old old thread - duh, saw it in bumpzee and was curious...
