Comments on: Spam should be canned http://www.oppenheim.com.au/2006/11/22/spam-should-be-canned/ See the world through my eyes Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:22:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Spunky Jones SEO http://www.oppenheim.com.au/2006/11/22/spam-should-be-canned/#comment-115826 Spunky Jones SEO Thu, 03 Jun 2010 02:33:31 +0000 http://www.oppenheim.com.au/2006/11/22/spam-should-be-canned/#comment-115826 When I was growing up, my parents would buy the spam in the can. It tasted bad back then and it still tastes bad. You can fry it and it might taste a little better. However, it is still spam. I get tons of comment span on my SEO blog, now that my traffic is improving. I would say about 98% of the comments made on Spunky Jones are nothing more than generic spam that you could leave on any type of a blog. I have tried many plugins for the past two years and hardly any of them work that well. However, I have to manually approve or disapprove the comments on my blog. I won't degrade my blog by accepting low quality comments that add nothing to the discussion. I am afraid that spam is part of out lives in the world of blogging. The only way I know how to stop comment spam 100%, is to shut off the comments in your blog. However, then you end up blogging to yourself.
