I have the same problem. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s real or spam. One way I choose is, if it’s just a general comment about my blog and nothing specific about the post, it goes to the spam folder. That may not be the best way to do things, but it ensures that I only have quality comments on my blog.

Too often I see the same type of comments on other people’s blogs that are just general comments, and it’s a complete turn-off for me as a visitor. I don’t want the same thing thought about my blog.

I even have a new problem now, spammers has a new way of commenting and it looks real. And even the real comments, I doubt them sometimes because of the name that they are using.

Thanks for commenting Alan.

>>Hi Arafat,

I dropped a lot of comments recently too, I noticed their sites are mostly link farms and false claim sites.
It’s ok to have 1 comment than a hundred but all spam. Thanks Arafat.

>>Hi Chris,

Im sorry I forgot to elaborate more about what I said with regards to criticizing. What I meant about that is the grammar (just like I do), don’t be too negative when approaching. And if you don’t disagree with what the blogger said, you can approach in a nice and polite way, point out things that you disagree and discuss about it so you don’t get them fired up and pissed off because there are bloggers that gets irritated easily.

Welcome to my blog Chris, and thanks for commenting.

I couldn’t agree more. I can’t stand generic “Nice post” comments. In fact, I mark them as spam every time. When I comment, I make sure I add value to the conversation and provide my own opinion on the post, if I have one.
