Spam is one a nuisance that all bloggers seem to face on an almost daily basis. You can at least put in a few obstacles to either slow down the number of spam attacks. These blogging tips can help to at least prevent the spam comments from being published.
Use an anti spam plugin: There are several plugins you can install that will either prevent spam or at least remove it into a moderation area for you to deal with at a later date.
Use a Captcha plugin: These plugins are often considered to be a nuisance by many bloggers, however they quickly put a stop to any robot spam attacks. Captcha works by making the commentator type in a series or numbers or characters. A robot cannot read or insert these Captcha characters.
Hide your email address: You can publish your email address while hiding it from most email trolling robots. These robots search the web looking for email addresses to add to their databases. Rather than using your email address in the traditional format – publish your email address in the form of name (at) domain (dot) com. Your readers will immediately identify it as an email address but the robots cannot.
These three blogging tips will help to at least reduce the amount of spam you may get on your blog.
