Thanks for the recommendation Alex. I've been using Akismet alone, and while it does catch quite a lot of spam, many obvious spam comments are let right through. This causes me a lot of grief due the time I have to spend moderating comments. I'll try this out today! Treys last blog post..Automatic Unfollowing for Twitter

Max,

I can only highly recommend that you go and get StomperNet2. Its free and you only pay for shipping and it is worth its weight in Gold. It has already turned a few SEO “facts” as I knew them around and more to come. It is the best investment you can make into your SEO knowledge right now.

According to them – you can’t control a link coming from spamy site – unless you actively participate in it.

Despite all spam filters in place, I still got ocassional spam comments. They are in gray area (spammers getting smarter), but you can see almost immediately that's spam. I don't hesitate for a second to delete such comments. Alex, how about a link that's still coming of spam site? I heard Google penalizing linked site if a link is coming from questionnable sites.

It's unfortunate that so many tools are needed just to block spam. I wonder what it feels like to be a spammer... I can't imagine it is a good feeling. Tom@Going Greens last blog post..Quick Tip: Buy Food Locally!

I don’t have any blog spam software on my website, so I get a lot of spam. With my old blog I had thousands of spam comments! It really is sick. If people want to build links to their sites, they should realize spamming doesn’t work, and that they should actively contribute to blogs. Congratulations on finding the winning combination!

At the moment I only use Akismet, as it works fine for me. I also moderate my comments manually, so that's probably why I don't need another plugin to handle the spam. I'll bookmark this post in case I need it in the future. Thanks! Arjens last blog post..How to set up your computer for high torrent speeds
