A Powerful Comment Spam Killer – A One-Two Punch!
I was just browsing through my stat logs and looked up at my “Akismet Stats”… to my surprise (why i did not pay attention to this before is beyond me) I noticed that in April my “Comment Spam” dramatically lowered from 15000+ to 5000+ and then the next month less then 100.
The reason… that was when i upgraded my WordPress build and enabled the new “Automatically close comments on articles older then 15 days” feature.
So…. if you run a WordPress blog and want to dramatically reduce your comment spam and have not already done this, then…
- Install the “Akismet” plugin (is most likely already installed because it comes default with any WordPress installation… so just activate it) http://akismet.com/
- Follow the directions at http://en.wordpress.com/api-keys/ and get an API key to be able to use the plugin
- Go to “Plugins” –> “Akismet Configuration” and enter the API Key
- Go to “Settings” –> “Discussion” and check the “Automatically close comments on articles older then [] days” and enter “15″, then save settings.
That’s it… You will start to notice a HUGE decrease in the amount of comment spam you are getting from that point on.
For most of you this was probably nothing new but if it helped let me know
