[TnT Unleashed 1pic4twenty Blog] Akismet, in particular, does a great job keeping many of the spam comments from appearing on blogs, but they still sit there in our moderation queue, and take up space on our server, until we go through them and delete them. We will always use moderation on our blog, as our blog is family friendly and many of the spam comments that we find in the moderation queue are certainly not family friendly, or they have links displayed that link to sites that are not family friendly.

[The Corsair Journal] Now, the reason for the blog spam is not to get people interested in a product and buy from a link placed in some random blog, but to increase the Google Page Rank of the target website by linking to it from all over the place.

[Guide To Blogging] I’ve mentioned a few cool plugins recently related to showing your appreciation for those that take the time to leave a comment on your blog - well I’ve just come across another one which I’ll mention in a minute but I also wanted to take the time to remind you all of another plugin that helps fight spam - as much as all bloggers no doubt love to receive comments at the same time we all have a loathing for the comment spammers; particularly for me those that try to hide the fact that they are spammers - they make what you initially might think is a worthwhile comment - until you realise that they’ve left that same comment on every other post in your blog (and on your other blogs as well) though I do have to almost laugh at those that say sorry with a sad smile before listing a tonne of links.
