Spam Karma – Anti-Spam Savior!

Okay, so the bane of every blogger’s existence is spam. Spam comments for drug, casino, and less-than-tasteful sites. How does one keep up with it all?

Enter Spam Karma (current version: 2.2) – the savior to all WordPress bloggers!

I use SK on all my sites where comments and pings are enabled. And I have yet to see a single spam comment get through. Dr. Dave keeps up with all the latest spammer techniques and is consistently releasing easy to upgrade updates to what is, in my opinion, the best overall spam blocker out there.

SK does a great job of manning the stations while allowing your site’s innocent commenters to proceed without hesitation – about 99.9% of the time. It depends on the rules you set in the Options, of course, but for the most part, your site visitors won’t even know what’s going on. But boy, will those bots know! (Okay, so they won’t, because they’re bots (ro-bots, automatically scripted to do you harm) but when their site doesn’t receive any hits from yours, well… heh eh eh!)

There are lots of anti-spam resources out there, and I’ll no doubt discuss them. But the bottom line is that I won’t ever install WordPress without installing Spam Karma as well. It’s just that dang good!
