I found you through She’s Got Flavor–I think a comment you left–so please don’t delete me, hehe :)

I’m relatively new to blogging, but what I do for spam is this:

First, I’ve just learned to Noindex the contact page. This is an option you can make on your contact page–usually towards the bottom. This prevents your contact page from being found by spammers in the search engine.

The second thing I do is download a good anti-spam plugin. Something like Askimet or Growmap Anti-Spam are good choices. Someone may know better than me but…do you have to pay for Askimet now?

Lastly, just wanted to say I’m happy to have found your blog.

I have that, and I have the comment luv spam filter, but I’ve noticed that they have gotten really good trying to get through spam, regardless.

I’ve installed Askimet but haven’t took the time yet to figure it all out! Thanks for commenting Tracey! :)

Sorting through all the spam is time consuming. Lately I’ve been like “forget it”! Thanks for commenting girl!

Thank you for asking that question. I am having the same problem. I think once I clear a real person they shouldn’t be back in there next time. It’s frustrating.

The majority of my spam does come from one particular post. I’m definitely going to do that tonight! Thank you! :)

If the majority of your spam comments seem to be on just a couple of your posts (I would say that about 80% of my spam comments are on 1 particular post) you can turn off commenting on just those posts. I haven’t taken the time to figure out how to do it, but have seen it recommended.

I just checked my spam folder and half the time I’m not sure if I’m seeing a real person or a very clever spambot. I think I’ve only tagged one as a real person and not spam. I hate that I don’t know…but at the same time, I don’t want to open the door to a potential spammer.
