Spam Blocker
Blog spam was a huge pain in the ass for me a while back. I’d get a lot of comments and trackbacks that was mostly related to prescription drugs. Although very few of those comments and trackbacks appeared on the blog, I’d get email notifications about them from wordpress and I’d have to go in and delete them all the time. Getting dozens of emails a day was a real drag. Ever since I enabled Akismet, I have only received one or two emails, while the software has allowed me to deal with all of the spam internally (within WordPress). I’ve only had Akismet running for a few months and it has stopped over 500 spams. I’m very pleased with the results so far. It has worked just as it should. You really can’t ask for much more than that.
Awesome. I think I’m going to switch to it. Spam Karma has missed some lately.
