Blog Comment Spam

Groan. The extent of my work on this blog over the last weeks seem to be deleting the increasing amount of comment spam coming this way. I guess it is a little flattering that they consider the search engine results high enough to add their own linking.

But it kinda saps the will to post real stuff up on the blog.

# re: Blog Comment Spam

I have had the same with my blog. i have done two things about it.

I have stopped the same post for to all my old posts using this: (probably a spambot) http://blogs.clearscreen.com/migs/archive/0001/01/01/531.aspx

And I have just added a blacklist trigger from this site: http://netnerds.net/articles/285.aspx - that will hopefully stop what has become a trickle of manual entries.

Hope that helps....
