Reaching a Blog Spam Milestone!
Earlier this year, I installed Askimet, so that I could easily put a stop to blog comment spam on this site.
This month, I reached a blog spam milestone of sorts — over 10,000 pieces of spam blocked — in my sleep! Hurrah!
Blog comment spam is a scourge — and it’s a big reason why many businesses I know are initially afraid to open up their posts for comments. They don’t want their sites littered with obscene or obtuse comments (and who can blame them?).
But tools like Askimet obviously do a fantastic job of weeding out spam. Combine Askimet with three other components for blog spam comment protection, and you’re good to go accepting thoughtful comments — and bagging the baddies!
So spammers: you needn’t bother with spamming my site! I’m protected!
Thanks, Askimet!
