Spammers must be really busy

There is software that is free called comment kahuna that is used specifically for this purpose. 

i have the same problem with my blog... is it the price you have to pay for the blogging-pleasure?  i wish it was real to have spam-free blogs...

My blog has been hit with a rash of spam lately too. Is there any way to filter spam from a blog??

You can try akismet. It works great for comment spam.

I've noticed that akismet is letting more and more spam thru. I've heard a rumor that they have some problems with their classifier.

Luckily the guys at www.uclassify.com is working on a new plugin that will solve the problem

Boy these spammers are more active than us. Always one step ahead. You just start the blog with less promotion and they are here. I wish they should be general traffic instead of spam.

I did a quick calculation a month ago and noticed that spammers actually cause about 60% of the web server load for my blogs. That means that real users only cause 40% of the web server load and it's them who are making my sites profitable. Imagine if I could be able to earn money from all 100% of the web server load instead......

yeah they are really hardworking with their jobs to spamm anywhere there want. if they don't do any spamming in a day. they maybe get a huge of fever.... akismet is powerful to catch them in a akismet lock-up room. they have been caught everyday...

i wouldnt mind havent some kind of software like that to do the blogging for me....lol

EDIT don't spam this forum

I have mixed feelings about the subject.  Although I use anti-spamming software on the blogs I manage and/or help manage, I do moderate and let those who actually comment on the subject of a particular post pass through.  The way I see it:  If someone actually sat there and put in the time to be contributing to the blog post, I'll let them pass through w/ their trackback.  Put it this way, if a person spends the time to read the blog post, contribute in a way to keep the conversation and interest of the post go, then it will attract "real" posters.  I'll put it in time-terms:

Reading a 3-4 paragraph blog post:  5-10 minutes
Thinking of what to write:  5 minutes
Writing at least one contributing paragraph (at least 4 sentences):  5 minutes

OK, so @ the very least, someone was sitting @ the blog for 15 minutes and actually contributed to the post with something informative.  I'll let him/her pass through.  it's the type of spammer who hops on one of my blogs, writes 3-4 WORDS, then expects me to accept his/her post and their trackback URL?  That would be a no in my book.

It's their job, to be fast

First thing that you should do is to enable Akismet. Make your blog nofollow and enable moderation. You should see a considerable slump.

I guess the spammers are just using search engine indexes to find new blogs.

sure akismet helps for blogs, but you get spammers on all blogs. My blog has nofollow links in comments and akismet is blocking ~100 spam comments every day

I guess they are just bots who are collecting new and established blogs and just auto-submitting comments. They don't really care if you don't approve their comments. Even if 1% webmasters forget to take anti-spam measures, the spammers are in business. It's unfortunate that many countries don't have strict anti-spam laws.

Well that's the bad side of pings

What if i mad my bloga no-follow one, can that help?

Not really. Those penny paid human spammers don't really care about the nofollow. In fact I don't think that they even know what nofollow actually is

@sd59,
if you make your forum nofollow, you can protect your SERPs but don't forget a bad link is a bad link.
At the end you need to moderate everything

Thats pretty crazy they show up in groups like that. There like Mongolians!

haha i never saw this word before, technorati... nice
