Just two days ago, this blog was infested by spammers. I had like 10 spam comments coming in on that day. That’s a lot considering that this blog is somewhere lost in the Sahara Desert. It is surprising that even spammers don’t know that all URLs have the “nofollow” tag, so they probably won’t receive any SEO benefit from it. I moderate all comments, thus I have to approve or reject every comment that comes into this blog. And I really hate delete spam comments, so now I installed Akismet into my wordpress blog to combat this problem. This plugin is supposed to be an intelligent software which can be taught to know which type of comment is spam and which is not. So I guess what this means is that the longer you use Akismet, the better it gets in preventing spam. Sort of like me. I am now seeing whether there will be any improvement or not. But since yesterday, I did not receive any spam comment as yet, which is a good sign.

If only they have such things for directories, I won’t be spending all my time deleting spam sites from my directories. What say some of you brilliant coders out there? Do something to help us, we are dying here guys

However, if you are looking for the ultimate spam protection the world has ever seen, try my mod - The Spank Mod! Up to 90% reduction in spam sites submitted and sore bottoms guaranteed. But the price range of this mod is out of most webmaster’s budget.

I also like their theme “Remember the days before spam?”. That’s like so long ago….
