Spam Comments

Since this blog is up, akismet already catch about 800 spam comments. For today it catches about 40 spam comments. I’m wondering how they spam a blog site? Are they using a special software or spam it manually?
I’ve tried to observe the spam. Some posts generate more spam than other posts. So I closed some posts for commenting just to see if it could block the spam that come through that post.
I read that some blogs also receive trackback spam. Actually it happened in my older blog. Luckily it doesn’t happened yet in this blog.
Indeed, some posts generated more spams, eq. I wrote about Barney.. spam loves it. hehehe… they are writing special script to inject the comments to your web site (they’re looking for tag probably). CAPTCHA helps reducing spam….
yup, I tried to install anti spam plugin that require visitors to input a simple math question when giving comments. It did reduce the spam, but there are still some that can get through.
I hope the real commenters can do a simple math
I think there is no risk using Akismet
