Comments on: Reducing Spam on Your Blog http://manwithnoblog.com/2007/08/31/reducing-spam-on-your-blog/ Gary Barber rants on user experience, and the controlled chaos of the Web Industry Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:10:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ryan http://manwithnoblog.com/2007/08/31/reducing-spam-on-your-blog/comment-page-1/#comment-3041 Ryan Thu, 04 Oct 2007 09:32:04 +0000 http://manwithnoblog.com/2007/08/31/reducing-spam-on-your-blog/#comment-3041 <p>I don't exactly know about other solutions though I have experimented Akisment 2.0 and it had too many flaws in it. Since then I have started to believe that there is no ultimate solution to stop Spammers. Infect I think that Spam Blocker may reduce the number of spam for a short while but you cant say that it is an ultimate solution to Spamming. The reason is that the Spammers are aware of these filtering or blocking techniques and thus they always get able to find some way. There are many websites available that are providing the information on Anti-Spamming Solutions but most of this information is either irrelevant or not useful. I would like to suggest <a href="http://www.anti-spam-info.com/categories/Anti-Spam-Solution/" title="Anti-Spamming" rel="nofollow">Anti-Spamming Solutions</a> websites that i have recently visited which contains some very useful articles.</p> I don’t exactly know about other solutions though I have experimented Akisment 2.0 and it had too many flaws in it.

Admittedly, my blog is pretty new and I've only had a handful of spam attempts, but I know others that are consistently hammered by spammers who swear by it. For me, the availability of a good free anti-spam tool was a real decider over which CMS platform to use. SK2 is the reason I'm using Wordpress rather than some of the other CMS platforms I looked at (eg. drupal, pmwiki). I’ve found Spam Karma to be pretty good.

Defensio are the new kid on the block in spam detection services. It's basically a new version of Akismet (some varying features of course). So far the guys over at ActiveReload have reported good things on it. Don't get my wrong, I love Akismet and everything it does for my blog but as you said Gary "every little bit helps" Now to detail with email spam When Defensio comes out of private beta it will be interesting.
