More on blog comment spam
Yesterday I went off on a rant. It was set off because of spam blog comments. The funny thing is this happens only on various test blogs that I have up for a wide variety of testing purposes, video creation, etc.
Fortunately I rarely get this problem on my main blogs because of the plugins I use. For me I use WP-Spam Free and that gets rid of the automated spam quite well. Combining that with Askimet (comes with the WordPress install) keeps my main blogs clean.
The numbers of spam comments that they catch on this blog is quite numerous. Here is a picture from my dashboard.
Now this blog gets a lot of comments and the amount of comment spam would make me scream if not for this plugin combination. The point of yesterday’s post was to make people aware of the futility of using these spam techniques.
Take part in the conversation and you can create back links and generate visitors that resonate with you. (The kind that are already pre-disposed to your content.) Use the crap and you just piss people off.
