I am literally getting several hundred per day. I can’t delete all of them in bulk in fear of erasing the one or two of value. I can see many of them come from the same IP address and therefore can quickly get rid of those. But the rest, I have to go and translate to see what they are asking or talking about. The other thing I also do is go into my spam settings and block that string of IP addresses. I guess it helps.

For the rest of the comments, I’m actually using Google Translate to read what is being asked or mentioned. What a great free service Google Translate provides. I’m able to read the comments that are written as well as write back in Russian for a reply. The main problem of is that it’s time consuming.

I understand it doesn’t help the US readers when the comments are posted and replied in Russian, but for the time being I don’t have a problem with doing it this way.

On a side note, I noticed that I didn’t write a blog post for the book review I wrote about. There was no tips or techniques blog post last week due to scheduling on my part. I should have one up this weekend.
