Akismet - the ultimate spamkiller

Published on December 15, 2005 in Wordpress. 0 Comments


If you own a blog, I’m sure you waste a good deal of your time everyday to get rid of those irritating comment spams. Now, instead of having to moderate the comments and trackbacks yourself, give Akismet a try.

How does it work? Whenever you receive a comment or a trackback, it is automatically sent to the Akismet web service. The idea is, when enough people do this, the system can effectively learn the spam patterns and tell you whether it’s a spam. Although it works in rather a ‘big brother’ way that scans every comments and trackbacks you receive, Akismet is so far the best Wordpress antispam plugins I’ve seen.

It’s free for personal use and requires a Wordpress.com API key for activation.
