When the plugin was up, the blog was receiving a bit more comments, but the difference was mainly composed of stuff such as: "Cool Blog!" Or "Wow! that's interesting!". And obviously, I'm not interested in people posting comments just for the sake of having their name in the sidebar.. :) Preston: In fact, yes, the comments you leave are always of the highest quality, and always highly relevant to the content we post.

Since all my posts are of unspeakable quality, well ... nevermind. Are you going to attempt to measure quality, or is this a simple measure of volume (spam wins?).

Since all my posts are of unspeakable quality, well …

nevermind.

Don't set it up, I don't think it'll bring anything to you. Hi Goran,

Well, the reason we removed it was because some people were leaving totally worthless comments just to be on the list. Don't set it up, I don't think it'll bring anything to you.

I see you dont have one any more. Why did you remove yours, do you get too much spam or did you get enough visitors not to use it anymore.

Expect a ton of comments just saying 'yup' or 'nice post!'*. Though I guess you're still encouraging comments, so maybe it doesn't really matter. *(No offense to anyone that thinks their comments fall into this category. This wasn't meant to call anyone out.)

Sort of.. But, it's a very good idea. It's a win-win. You get some extra traffic, and GAS gets more contributers. Bribing? Sort of..

The Google angle is questionable though - unless you are on the list week after week you won't see any real gain. But still, the traffic that could be generated from here is more than most bloggers are doing. That's a pretty sweet deal.
