I saw your interview over on RobsWebTips and thus came over here!

Great idea about the comments; I’ve never tried anything like that, but am definately going to implement it in my blog. Just to confirm, do you think it’s a good idea to put links to other pages in my blog that I want to drive traffic to on the ‘thanks’ page? Thanks!

I use this method and it works great.

However, comment redirect works only for first time commentators. Many times, comments of even regular comments are marked spam. I use Ajax Edit Comments to display a custom message when comment is marked as spam. This can also help!
