5 steps to stop SPAM comment

 Have you ever get SPAM comment on your blog? Is it annoying? I got 20 to 30 SPAM comment everyday. Some of you, may also get hundreds if not thousands of SPAMcomment everyday.

I have to check the comments, one by once in case of a real comment being catched by Akismet.

But, don’t worry, in this post,I am going to show you how to deal with this SPAM comment.

Here one example of SPAM comment on my blog :

 

if you can see, the words used mostly is "sex", "drug" and " viagra". Keep these keywords in your mind. We wil use it later.

Okay;

Here the steps :

1. Go to setting and click "Discussion"

 

2. When you are at "discussion" page, scroll down until you find "comment blacklist".

 

3. you can insert IP, email or keywords that the SPAMMERS use. In my case, IP address won’t work. Most of the spammer use different IP, and different email for his email.

Our best choice is to use the keywords use. 

Please note, one keyword, one line.

4. Remember the keywords that I ask you to remember before? They are,sex,drug and viagra. Actually it depends on what keyword the SPAMMER used. Usually, most of the SPAMMER is the same person. We can see the trend by observing the SPAM comments left.

Please note, I just add the keywords. See the red box.

The number of keyword you can add is unlimited. But my advise is to keep the number as small as you can. It is to avoid the real comment being black listed too.

5. Scroll down and click SAVE buton.DONE !!!

PS : This methods is work with wordpress only.  

PPS : I use wordpress 2.7. The diagram may varies and it is varies on different version.

    Hiya, i have seen your site when searching a few weeks ago and i really love the design! I just bought a new 3 character domain (cost me a packet) for a niche review blog, and i was wondering if your design is a free or paid one? I’m new to WordPress and about to set it up, and i would really like to get something with a similar look to yours. Any ideas where i could download or buy something similar? Thanks for your help! :)
