Ive just now started to build backlinks to my site and ran into a problem. I use scrapebox to scrape blogs in my niche. I then filter them by page rank and start commenting. I blast blogs with PR3 or lower and manually submit comments on blogs with PR4 or higher. I noticed tonight when manually posting I enter my comment and it sends me to url.com/wp-comments-post.php Its done that like 10 comments in a row on different sites. Why is it doing that? Has my IP been banned or something? My IP is new since I just got this internet connection 2 weeks ago. Also all scrapebox comments have been made with proxies. Any ideas as to whats up?

EDIT: So I tried commenting again without using my website and its approved. Did I totally just F*** myself over with this website? If so I am gonna be so pissed since I just started working on it Monday. If this is the case what are my options here?

when u get the wp-comment white page, the comment just got put in the spam folder i believe.
 
Yes, you got blocked by akismet. I find it is usually one of the two things:

1. akismet doesnt like the name your using, if the name sounds spammy and has words like "review", "free" or something like that it can get blocked. The best way to test this is to keep your url the same and change your name to just "Dan" or "Bill" or something.

2. akismet doesnt like the deep url you are using. Unless you have done some serious hardcore spamming the chance are you top level domain is not blocked, but akismet might not like the deep url you are using if it sounds spammy. Best way to test this is keep your name the same and change your url to just your top level domain.

9 times out of 10 it will be one of these problems and within 2 minutes you can find out by trial and error which one it is.
 
Refresh the URL where you posted the comment. You'll find your comment there.

Im pretty sure my main URL got blocked my akismet because i can post the same comment with same name/e-mail (no URL) and it gets approved. Which really sucks, i just started this site and only blasted about 75 pages with scrapebox. My question now is what do I do next? I was lucky and just purchased the same domain with an "s" at the end, do i just start over in that domain now?
 
Hmm, try another domain (anything, google.com, microsoft.com or whatever) but the same name/email. It could be that akismet is blocking you as soon as it sees a url for that name (all depends on the name your using). That would be the final test.

Failing that there is a contact page on the akismet site that you can request to have your url unblocked.

Ok I tried what you said. Found a WP blog and made a comment with a name/email/my url and it took me to the same white page. Hit the back button used the same name/email and this time put google.com as my site and it approved it. So pretty much my mail URL is blocked?

It looks so. I think if you receving a blank page after submitting the comment, or being redirected to the post page, but not seeing your comment with a message about your comment being in moderation, then your URL has the problem.
 
Damn that sucks, but yes in which case I would suggest that it is your domain.. and just to confirm you are you using your top level domain in this case? (i.e example.com and not example.com/whatever.html)

If that is the case then you could try going here:

Code:
http://akismet.com/contact/

and check the 'I think akismet is catching my comments by mistake' option.

Ya i just did that, send them a comment sayin i just got this domain on monday and i think one of my competitors its just to blacklist me by sending my URL out as spam. Hopefully that will work.
 
I am in the same situation, have contacted akismet too, lets see what happens
 
Same here. It means your URL is banned as when i press back and change the url it goes through
