SEO = search engine optimization

As for my name, it’s not branding but i realize folks like to think it is. My mother wanted my name to have typographical balance; thus the ‘h’ and the lower-case.

danah*, what’s SEO?

* Sorry if I screwed up your branding, I can never remember if it’s a cap D, no h or whatnot.

Enticing, relevant and meaningful content trigger the traffic these ‘commenters’ are hoping for. Let’s hope they don’t ‘get it’ and fade away…or…maybe hope that they someday do!

Based on her post, I’d say it’s the lack of content in their comments.

I agree with Martin, you should point out tue offending post so we can see. Joe also brings up a good question is it the company or the content of their post that irks you?

Would you feel differently if these corporate commenters actually took the time to post thoughtful responses, rather than just leaving url spam?

Why? That gives them traffic and the attention they want.
