And how to clean out your blogger SPAM folder.
Sometimes Anonymous comments are left on blog posts that usually contain a bad link like this:
Or say you are having a giveaway and it is one entry per person and someone does this:
comment 1:
Thanks for the fun giveaway
comment 2:
Sorry! I forgot to include me email
This can make your comment count inaccurate.
I hope the video and step by step instructions can help you to remove them.
I have also included a way to clean out your SPAM folder in blogger! Did you know you have one of those??
Two ways to delete comments from blogger:
Log Into Blogger
on your homepage/dashboard
Click down arrow by notebook
Click Comments
Check the box on the comment you want to remove
Delete
This will remove the comment completely from your blog post.
While you are in this area... Look to the left
Click on the spam and see what comes up...
If it is a blog friend that you know, chances are they left you these comments from an Ipad or Iphone
You can click the comment and select not spam and this will post it to your blog post.
Or if it is bad comments with bad links you should delete them from here and they will never be published and will be gone.
Or
Click on the post
Hit comments
When you see the comment you should see a trash can
click on it
Click REMOVE Forever first
Then delete the comment
To put an end to the Anonymous comments forever:
Dashboard
Settings
Posts and comments
Who can comment?
Click Registered User
Or
click comment moderation and you decide what gets published and what doesn't
Some quick tips:
Never click on the links in Anonymous comments
Never include your complete email address, always add spaces
I hope you enjoyed my quick tip!
