The only thing I can think of as a potential trigger is that I posted a few comments within a short space of time. There weren’t even any links in some of the comments!

I do know that spam karma is saying that you're trying to dump some sort of javascript payload in your comments. I don't know what that's all about, but I've added your doman and IP to the whitelist, so comments should get through now. Sorry :-( Dude, I don’t know what’s going on.

I've just tried to add the following comment onto <a href="http://pimpmypagerank.com/2006/04/06/adsense-for-content-v-content-for-adsense/" rel="nofollow">this blog post</a> and got a message telling me that it had been queued as spam and that I should contact the webmaster by email. <blockquote>If the ads are the same then the money will be where the traffic is. Which type of site would be able to attract and sustain traffic?</blockquote> Pah. I don't want to resort to email and there's no other easy way to contact Stu (except to ping his blog from mine!). To be honest, this is the second comment I've placed on Stu's blog to be sucked into the spam hole. The other side of this particular coin is that I've recently had to manually remove a couple of spam comments that Akismet had let through. The comments themselves were pretty generic, but the author's link was porno. A difficult call for Akismet to make.

Presumably, someone who has been a silent reader for a while would have already been benefitting or else they wouldn't have continued visiting? If nothing else changes, what might cause a silent reader to suddenly want to contribute? Ah, I see!

At some point or other, they will get some useful knowledge from the blog posts and comments. If they get benefitted from the comments, they will understand the importance of sharing knowledge and how knowledge grows by sharing; and soon they will start contributing actively.
