Using Akismet to stop comment/trackback spam on Wordpress!

I’ve been using Wordpress for many years now and one of the things that annoyed me most was the amount of spam that would appear on the comments section of blog posts. It got very annoying, one wordpress blog had 30,000 comments, all spam, waiting to be “verified”.

I’ve come across this wordpress plug-in called Akismet and it’s done a swell job at keeping those annoying comment/trackback spam at bay!

Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not and lets you review the spam it catches under your blog’s “Comments” admin screen.

I strongly suggest that bloggers using Wordpress install this plug-in!  Click here for more information.
