Blog Spam - boon or bane?
I have become the target of serious blog spam. Now I am trying to figure out whether that is a good or a bad thing - am I so popular that I am receving all this attention (albeit the wrong kind) - obviously I am very popular in some circles so I am being considered “worth spamming” . The only trouble being - I now have to spend atleast half an hour each day to sift through the crud and approve the real comments (which are far and few inbetween which tells me I am not attracting the right kind of people!).
Since I run wordpress, I looked around for some captcha algorithm based comment poster that will prevent such cruft from coming in. I found one but I could never get it to work (you would notice the TTF not found on my comment site) Has anybody got a better mileage out of the right tool for wordpress? Please provide me some advice on what are the best options out there.
