WordPress Discussion Settings Can Reduce Comment Spam
Using the correct discussion settings on your WordPress site can help you reduce spam. You can also keep inappropriate words or sites from appearing on your posts comments section.
What Makes A WordPress Comment Spam
Comment spam on a WordPress site is something I continue to struggle with. The more popular your WordPress site gets and the more posts you get with a high page rank, the more your WordPress sites becomes a target for the spammers. How do you tell what is and isn’t a spam comment? Well some are obvious and some are left to your better judgment.
