60,000 Comments

Amazing lol…

Seems like just yesterday I made my first post….

Its hard to imagine 60k comments.   Especially when about 80% of them are manually approved with all the spam filters we have.

    lol is the contest effect, people are working hard to get the shoemoney tshirt :P

  14. Zak Show

    Yes it’s pretty cool that a lot of people are commenting here + the new contest has encouraged evryone to comment.

  15. OnlineGodfahter

    That is a lot of comments :)

  16. Mayank Rocks

    Blogs gets LOADS of spam thats why. Everyday 100s of spammy porn comments with full of links. I hate it. My blog is not even popular and I get 100s daily…

  17. Mayank Rocks

    haha nope. Forum Posts and comments can definitely not be compared. Posts are way too fast than comments. Even a comparison is like woah, too much hehe.

  18. Mayank Rocks

    Macbook? You get macbook by commenting?

  19. Mayank Rocks

    John Chow’s posts definitely is seen with more comments. 100,000 is another Insanic value..Shocking :eek:

  20. Mayank Rocks

    I got some 120 or 130 :p
    hehe, to be honest, I didnt even think I’d get to 100 lol

  21. Mayank Rocks

    Congrats for 60,000 comments. Thats a lot….wow!

  22. Mary_Freebies

    Congratulations on the 60K comments. I only have 500 on my blog. ^^

  23. Melvin

    Thats a lot of comments for you man!

  24. Joe

    Dang shoe, that is alot of comments.

    I agree with the guy who just posted. you write you just hit 60k comments, and you get another 100. But then, just about anything you write is worth that many comments.

    Have you figured out how much each comment is worth to the value of the income of the blog?

  25. The Affiliate Post

    Awesome work Jeremy. I cannot tell you how impressed I am at that! Damn, you get 100 commments for writing a post about how many comments you get. Brilliant!!!!

  26. revenue

    Congratulation to you that is big achievement for 3 years from the day you start blogging :)

  27. entrenewbie

    congrats on the 60k …. I think I’d be ecstatic with just 60 so I can’t even imagine moderating 60,000 + comments.

  28. meethere

    why you have not removed the first post ? :D

  29. Geiger

    Just checked. 428 for JayGeiger.com WOO HOO

  30. Geiger

    I would think so. The more content you have, the better.

  31. Geiger

    Over 110,000 for John. I wish you guys would leave your posts open for comments longer. You would definitely have a lot more.

  32. Jacob

    Do comments help with SEO at all?

  33. Arun

    Whether the comment on a blog post is a single line or has got more lines of comments, people has responded to it that is the thing to be considered.

    simple way of life

  34. Dick

    The next milestone is 120 K. How much time will need to do so? -)))

  35. varun

    dont u think bulk of those are spam . . .like this right now :)

  36. Sohan

    Any one read John’s latest post? He’s past the bleeding 100k mark!

  37. Start Blogging

    That’s a lot of comments. John Chow has twice that but nonetheless that’s a ton!

  38. Shannon Herod

    wow that is an impressive number of comments. 60,000 comments, that seem so far-fetched to me.

  39. Tim

    It’s really amazing how many of them have the same tone of voice and spelling errors too. We must all think alike! Your really amazing tho and a very funny guy.

  40. Lyndon

    I’m good, but thanks for the offer :)

    Didn’t realize it was added to 2.6, since I have upgraded yet. But I will be doing it soon.

  41. Technoinvent

    Congratulations Jeremy.
    You are a true inspirational blogger.
    I wish I will reach a position like you one day.

  42. ghing

    wow!.. that’s a lot of comment to moderate..

    hope my blog receive that lots of comments someday!..

  43. team ray

    congrats man it took me awhile to get my comments approve

  44. Winning Startups

    Wow congratulations! That’s quite an accomplishment. Better celebrate with a beer at Lazlo’s tonight.

  45. TEKFIRM

    Average of 150 comments / post

    2 posts / day

    100 – 60 = 40 k

    40 000 / 300 = in aproximately 133, 33 and for the % of error let say he will have his 100K during the next 6 months ;)

  46. Paul

    Huge feet! Looks like you have finally made it ;)

  47. TEKFIRM

    mine has broke the 40k Comments the only difference is that they are all SPAM COMMENTS !

  48. TEKFIRM

    i think only first time commenter’s are manual and the post that contain URLS

  49. TEKFIRM

    even on his first post he got 5 comments , and i’m sure if the comments were not closed he would have much more !

  50. Nick Stamoulis

    Congratulations! Here’s to 60K more!

  51. Patrick

    Good work. I wonder how long to 100k.

  52. Hustle Strategy

    that would be nice to see… though I am sure hard to measure with affiliate links and other things, but an estimate would be nice…

  53. Hustle Strategy

    It is crazy how scalable wordpress is after seeing stats like that.

  54. Hustle Strategy

    It probably will come in half the time. That is a great achievement. There are a lot of comments per post as well.

  55. JumboCasher.com

    And the time frame to reach there…

  56. Game Tester

    LOL, can’t believe you left that comment on the blog!

  57. Chetan

    Did you both check a few comments above?
    John said he has more than 100,000 comments..

  58. sean

    I would like to see the $ per comment metric

  59. Chetan

    Lol, you alone make up the 90% ?

  60. FunkySOuth

    well done shoe…you have writen alot of useful info ! Keep posting !

  61. Jerry

    WOW!

    Great job, most of us will never see that amount.

  62. Rajaie AlKorani

    My site still hasn’t even broken the 1,000 comment mark, but congrats on the achievement! And Geiger, if you want to know how many comments John Chow has, just look at the number at the end of a comment you posted in the URL

  63. Jan Alvin

    Where can I see this post??

  64. InfiniteMac

    Congratulations! 60k is a nice amount.

  65. Sohan

    We’ll have to wait for him to post it, if he does. I don’t know, I have more respect for shoemoney, but john looks like he gets more traffic.

  66. Geiger

    So… the real question is..
    How many does John Chow have?

  67. NaldzGraphics

    well thats really a lots of comments.i love to see my blog with that kind of amount of comment:)Congrats though

  68. jim

    Congrats on 60k comments man, that’s ridiculous

  69. meethere

    Thats amazing…
    Yours is not a blog, but a forum :eek:

    Thanks to us :D

  70. congratulations!!! that was a tough work, ;)

    keep it up pal.

  71. Static

    That is a sick milestone. Congrats!

    By the way, care to share the size of your database? ;)

  72. Make Money Talks

    Congrats on 60K comments, that’s great!

  73. Techypedia

    Congrats Shoemoney! That’s really a great achievement!

  74. Dick

    Popularity is good. Сongrats!

  75. Agent Magenta

    Wow, that’s a lot of comments. I notice that is just the approved comments, if you add in the spam/removed comments how many would that be? Manually approving comments is hard work, but it’s the only way to ensure quality – automated filters will never be as smart as a human being.

  76. Wesley

    Great milestone, congrats

  77. Web Marketeer

    Not for long! Watch this space!

  78. Web Marketeer

    Averaged out. Recently the numbers are higher. A graph showing the growth curve would be nice. Now that Jeremy is running contests I’ve definitely noticed an increase in comments posted, and lots of new “faces” on this blog too.

  79. Web Marketeer

    Went to check pout the first post too, and this is what I got when clicking the link…..
    “Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!” I am sure that wasn’t the first post, please help me out here!

  80. Lightening@Lightenings Blogworld

    Wow!!! 60,000 sounds like a LOT of comments.

  81. Web Marketeer

    Shoemoney is indeed a wonderful testimonial to the effectiveness of Wordpress in the blogosphere. VIVA WORDPRESS indeed!

  82. Web Marketeer

    60,000 comments is indeed quite an achievement. Congratulations, Jeremy, and may the second 60,000 come in half the time! It took you just shy of three years to achieve this. Impressive indeed!

  83. Randomly Writing

    …and 90% are people that are just trying to get Macbooks ….. (pointing to himself)

  84. mohdhafifi

    Wow! 60,000,that’s a lot of comments. Congratulation..

  85. Melvin

    yes its a very great achievement.,.

  86. Melvin

    haha, thats not that far. ;-)

  87. Melvin

    man 80% are approved manually? wow thats a lot!

  88. Enkay Blog

    I would say around 1600-1700 per month or 54-57 a day. Really great results!

  89. Enkay Blog

    It usually does specially with that many comments marked as not spam. I wonder what his AKISMET spam count is. I’m at 500,000 for that but then again im really popular in terms of Spam!

  90. Enkay Blog

    Depends on what version of wordpress your using Lyndon. If you need any help just follow my link to my contact form and I’ll assist you.

  91. Enkay Blog

    Hahaha, it is familiar isn’t it

  92. Enkay Blog

    Hahaha, Yeah thats not that many. It might be some de-activated plugins. I think I have 7 to update myself.

    • Myrtle Beach Rentals

      i hate updating plugins it always takes more time than i’m willing to spend on it

  93. Joe Tech

    Congrats! FYI, I think the site is unfriendly to iPhones… to mine, anyway.

  94. Travis

    Do you have to set up your site on a load balanced system? There aren’t many mega Wordpress sites out there, and they all seem to have custom solutions for handling the volume.

  95. Erica DeWolf

    Congratulations- this is so exciting!

  96. Enkay Blog

    Thats definitely a lot of comments to approve by hand. I thought my 20-40 comments every couple hours was a big deal!

  97. Eric Go

    Congratulations for the milestone.

  98. Chetan

    Ha ha and you are just 90000 ahead of me :P

  99. Chetan

    You get it by default in the wordpres 2.6 interface!

  100. TEKFIRM

    Nice Gravatar John Chow !!

  101. John Chow

    You’re only 50,000 comments behind me. :)

  102. Zack - Amer1can Paratrooper

    600,000 more shoe. I’m trying to learn how to get my users to do this. Comments are very important when it comes to organic searches I am finding. Again, congrats and many more.

  103. TEKFIRM

    By the way did you change your HOME PAGE TITLE Today 3 times , just to take a good screenshot ? :p

  104. seven grain salad

    My first comment showed up pretty fast in a few minutes, and subsequent one immediately. That’s some fast manual approving.

  105. ajaz

    Wow! That’s a lot of comments to review and approve. How much time do you spend each day approving comments?

  106. Bryn Youngblut

    very impressive…im at about 200 lol but then again my blog is only 2 months old

  107. TEGS

    congratulations Jeremy!

    Well done.

  108. purposeinc

    Here’s number 60,013 :)

    Only 39,987 left!

  109. Sohan

    Congrats! Doesn’t it get time consuming to moderate the comments manually?

  110. Marc Eilbeck

    very impressive indeed! How much does that work out per month ?

  111. Ash

    Really? I dont have it on mine either. Just have a post count and category count

  112. Ash

    A lot of manually approved comments then. 60K is a great achievement though. Only a few more months till 100K

  113. ShoeMoney

    that is just wordpress…

  114. Lyndon

    That’s a lot of comments!

    What plugin are you using that gives you a running count on how many comments your site has?

  115. Harald Johnsen

    Congrats.

    Oh, and I checked out your first post, btw. Seems like dupe content to me, dude, cause I’m SURE I’ve seen that post some other place before.

    Well done, though.

  116. Chris Abernethy

    That’s an awful lot of comments, congrats!

  117. Mark Mitchell

    It seems like your popularity has gone to an all new high. Very nice. I smell a pork product on the burner.

  118. TEKFIRM

    wow , Congratulation !!

    VIVA WORDPRESS ;)

  119. big jason 30k Blog Contest
