2 Easy Steps To Stop Spam On Your Blog Comments
If you are just getting into blogging and have just set up your first Wordpress Blog and you finally got it all up and running there is nothing worse than getting 100 spam comments every single day. It’s really kind of amazing how these spam robots work and who is controlling them. But all I know is that they never stop working, the spam will keep coming day after day, and you don’t want to get stuck deleting everyone over and over again.
The only way to stop this annoying spamming is to add a couple of unique word press plug-ins. The first plug-in is called Akismet, just goto your back office dashboard in
your wordpress and search for this word Akismet. Once you see it upload it and activate it. What this plug-in does is scans all your incoming comments on your blog, block all your spam and even logs them all. Now once this is activated goto your plug-in page and find your new Akismet plug-in and click on the last settings button right beside it.
This will pull up another screen that will have a couple of check boxes and a blank code box. Now make sure you check the first box this is telling you that after one month Akismet will delete all the spam that was captured. If you don’t check this you will have thousands of spam in you queue, so this is a must that I recommend. So next you will see an empty box, this is where you will need to input a certain code. Click on the link that says Akismet and sign up a free account, and then they will give you short numbered code that you will have to copy and then paste it in that box back on your Akismet plug-in settings page.
Once you do this then click the update button below, this will save it. Now you are all complete, Akesmet is now working for you and protecting your blog from comment spam. But now there is one more thing you still need to do. Go back to your plug-ins and search for an very important plug-in, that’s Conditional CAPTCHA for Wordpress you need this for everything to work perfect and really stop the spamming. Just do a search for it the same way and then upload when you find it, activate it. Once this is done it will automatically put a small captcha code box next to your comments when someone fills out your comment box.
This will now guarantee you that only a human can actually submit a real comment to you. Ok, so you are now all complete and your blog should be spam free!
