SPAM…Need I Say More!
May 18th, 2006 David King - King's Outdoor World
Who would have thought…Spam? Wasn’t this something that I had for dinner as a kid? Nowadays the word spam is truly a four letter word to just about all of us. It first started with email, but now it is spreading to blogs. Why? Blogs are a way to interact and because of this there are comment fields, form, etc. Spammers have used this as a way of getting their message out…in a big way. Comment spam is getting to be a huge problem for bloggers.
I don’t know what is going on, but this last week comment spam has been terrible on our King’s Blog. I haven’t had much of a problem with it until just recently. Now I am getting slammed with hundreds a day. I apologize if some of this has leaked out on the site. However, if there is anything good that is coming from this, it is showing the popularity of this blog. Spammers are finding this site easier due to better search engine listings and in-bound links. Just the price you have to pay nowadays to do anything on the web or email. I have been trying to keep it cleaned up the best I can with filters. Today I just installed a new spam plugin that I hope will really help on stopping the spam from finding their way on the site and saving me a bunch of time. We will see how it goes. Spammers beware!
