Not many bloggers check their spam comment list here. Not all comments in spam are spam. There are several good and nice comments related to the blog posts queued in spam list. Either you use Akismet or any other spam filter plugins, some good comments are still can be found in spam comment list. Some of regular commentator’s comments hit spam box as well. Failing to moderate spam box might cost us losing some of our hardcore blog’s fan. Make sure to frequently check your spam box for any genuine comments.
Each day, I approve more than 10 genuine comments in spam box. If you are commenting on someone’s blog and found out that your comment is in spam list. Quickly, inform the blogger using contact page with your comment details such as URL, Name, Email, etc. This would help the blogger approve your comment. Well, how to check comment hit spam box? It’s easy. Whenever you hit “Submit Comment” button, if the next page referred to “blank page”, then your comment is in spam box. Contact the blogger immediately.
Just because your IP or name reported by someone to spam filter, it doesn’t mean all comments coming from the same IP will be spam. Spammers don’t stick with one IP address. They use dynamic IP and proxy sites to spam. There might be some genuine reader that uses the particular IP can be a victim. So, check your comments in spam box regularly.

Sis, what the meaning of spam comment?….
what the problem if we get spam comment?….

Spam comment means unrelated, general, full of links type of comment posted for SEO purpose. Giving out links for spam links like viagra, pharmacy, etc.. on unrelated blog post makes us look bad in search engine. The quality drops on pages with spam links.
i offten blogwalking when i found good article and leave a comment but sometimes i doing great comment and my comment entry to spam..
I understand your feeling there. I feel the same too. I don’t comment 200 comments a day like those day. But, commenting around 5 – 6 comments a day on blog post that really have good post. It is frustrating to see that blank page after we hit submit comment button.
hi friend! my blog also part of dofollow blog
Great! Happy to see you joined this movement too.
It is very necessary to check. If you not check it cut down your page relevancy.
Yes Nagin. Published unrelated comments could hurt our blog niche and relevancy which will effect the quality of blog in long run.
Sometimes I don’t get it when I check my list of fresh comments. There a lot of spam url which is when we click it not going anywhere. Is it just to test whether our blog had comment moderation?
Maybe the URL have been removed or redirect to any other URL just to pass some page rank juice or traffics. Some SEO called it as one of the black hat SEO method.
