INTERNET MARKETING

I was kidding. I get this kind of spam messages to my wordpress blog daily. We're talking about 30-50 spam messages daily with stupid or semi-stupid posts insulting my intelligence.

Any ideas free or paid to reduce or eliminate (although the last i think it's impossible) spam messages?

A plugin, software, service , whatever. The blog commenting spam software boost all over the blogging community.

any ideas will be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Plus one for Aksimet, the industry standard :p
You could also use a captcha plugin, simply search for it in the plugin section.

  Yes I second the Askimet plug in. Once I installed my spam dropped to almost nothing and before that it was crazy just like your blog gets now. Do you know how to install it?

In addition to Akismet I also use Bad Behaviour - the combination works well for me.

One change from what I wrote in that article: you now have to pay for the Akismet API key - I believe it's US$25 a year.

Cheers,
