Blog Spam Increasingly Caught By Akismet
by matt @ 1:06 pm. Blogged under Web Technology
Each day spammers try to automatically post comments on this blog (and others) containing links to their websites. They do this to try and inflate the number of links pointing to their sites which in turn drives up their search engine positioning - especially when their links contain relevant keywords for the Googlebot to pick up. Mostly these comments are for the usual ‘email spam’ array of topics (viagra etc.). Today the WordPress plug-in Akismet stopped its 11,000th spam comment - taking the average to forty spam attempt postings per day since my July installation.
