I understand about the commenting thing although I am part of three I only get mail from 2.I use to get frequents from despair but for some reason they havent been mailing me any.Then the other two send me sites that havent been updated in months or ones that are on hiatus for months..so all in all it’s pointless,but every now and again you’ll come across a good commenter.
Originally I think despair was to link the sites and send users to comment on them and jus leave it to the user whether or not they wanna come back.I found most of my affilates through despair-and part of my frequents-so I dunno.

I didn’t enjoy that AT ALL. Commenting on sites with like 2px font size and images that took literally on hours to load. Quite sickening really.

(Whoa, I got a comment from the great Jem!) :worship:

That entire rant is exactly why I have never, and will never, join a website that enforces commenting on weblogs. I will comment when I want to, not when I’m told to.

When I used actually blog regularly, I belonged to xposure.nu and I was religious about commenting on time but no one ever commented on my site that I can remember. I was also religious about reporting the people that didn’t comment, but I don’t think that did any good, either…

I’ve tried a couple of commenting sites, and you’re right — they’re just not worth the hassle. I think that they are a good idea in theory, but in practice most sites don’t gain returning visitors.
