To encourage comments I use Comment Luv which gives you a link back to your latest blog post. I also use Lucias Linky Love which removes the “no follow ” attribute to links of regular commenters. This makes your links more valuable in the eyes of Google. I use Akismet to discourage spam.

By leaving a comment you are agreeing to following terms.

You agree to grant a non-revocable assignable license for the use of your comment, name and web link to Crab Properties, LLC to publish or use for any legal means. Examples of how we might use this would be to promote our website,  a particular post or a product we offer that you have commented about.

You also agree that Crab Properties, LLC has the right to:

  • To publish or not to publish you comment

Spam

Web hosts are continually fighting spam. If your only reason for commenting was to get a link back to your site you risk being labeled as a spammer.

Tips to avoid moderation and being labeled as a spammer:

  • Keep your comment on topic
  • Avoid profanity or personal attacks
  • Avoid blatant spam or self promotion
  • Avoid excessive links, this is a sign of spam
  • Avoid links to bad neighborhoods or spam sites
  • Avoid short “me too” or “great post” type comments
  • Using keywords in the name field (this may be acceptable IF you sign your real name to the comment)

Spammers often use short generic comments like “like great post, I love your blog” simply to get a link back to their site. If you leave a similar comment you risk it not being published or labeled as spam in the Akismet database.

    Ned:

    Thank you! Akismet must be the cure to blog spam, correct? God, it is so annoying, everyday! It’s why Guestbooks were gotten rid of!

    And the blog on Rent Control and Just Cause, I feel your pain! Though I’m just across the river and primarily into Property Management, I shake my head in dismay wondering, really, Rent Control and Just Cause, that won’t go well!

    Absolutely crazy! Jump the shark and come to the commonwealth, we’ve got homes to buy here too! LOL

    Thanks for the blogs and comments on Biggerpockets, I’m a believer!

    Hi
    I don’t know if my comments went thru so I am resending my questions re tax lien.

    My son and I completed the Newark NJ tax lien auction last 26 October 2016. My interest in REI specifically tax lien hit me 2 months ago, so I embraced websites and blogs, webinars, read county laws, etc. Yet one learns when action is done with doing it. My son excels in figures so he’s a huge help.

    We should receive the certificates by mail soon. I have been reading the NJ tax regulations, but want to know –Do we have to pay the taxes on these liens until the redemption period.

    You are indeed a knowledgeable guru on tax lien. Thanks to BP where I read your comments.

    Thank you

    My understanding is that in NJ they continue to sell tax liens as long as the property is delinquent. There can be many tax liens outstanding at one time. If you have a prior lien you are first in line to buy the next lien, however I do not believe you have to. My assumption is that whoever winds up foreclosing on the property has to pay off any subsequent liens.
    Keep in mind I am neither an attorney nor an expert on NJ tax lien law.
