When I say linkbait I usually mean someone who posts a comment that is obviously just looking for the free link. Usually its things like "Great Post!" or "I like this Site!" They might be sincere, but really their comments don't add much to the discussion and I would rather give the links out to people who contribute more meaningfully.

On average how many automated spam comments do you see per day? Also, when you say linkbait comments I think I know what you're talking about but can you confirm my understanding? "Linkbait = comment entered by a real human that includes a link to some sort of spam site. Also, the comment is usually generic and adds no value to the discussion." I ask because I have seen a couple of those on my site and was torn a little bit about deleting them. In the end, I did delete them because they were clearly unrelated and were aimed at drawing people to some other site. Very interesting post…thanks for sharing your progress with us.
