Signs of spam that may lead to deletion of your comment:

  • Using a product name as your user name, especially if your URL is to a commercial site.

  • Your URL leads to a link farm, splog, ad page, income parked site, or similar type of website.
  • You link to a commercial site, affiliate site, or store that you have a business relationship with or the content of the post makes it suspect that you have a business relationship with that enterprise.

We realize that many blog owners use their hobby or site name as a user name. But sites that are unrelated to skin, skin care products or beauty products and include a related URL will be suspect.
