Akismet had caught over one hundred million spam. At my end, Akismet blocked over 120,000 spam!

Akismet caught 120,000 spam

I am getting a few thousands spam each day for this site. The total number of caught spam has exploded from 10,000 in May 2006 to over 120,000 now!

Thanks to Akismet for blocking the spam. :)

  • IWhat an apt post! I am finding several genuine comments being filtered off as spam by Akismet…And no amount of moderation will work….any solutions?
  • Akismet is indeed a useful and great tool... My blog was just up for a month and I receive 2 spams!!!
  • I'm using SK2 and its great and hassel free!
  • yes, prior registration can also fight spam but you would probably lose some potential commentors
  • I agree with Paul: as soon as I activated: register before you comment, the spam went down like nobodies bussiness :)
  • you know what, i just activated the akismet when i got back from travel in JB. it's doing a pretty good job. and fyi, your comment page got a problem, the text is not aligned properly (ignore this if u r updating the code).
  • Akismet caught about 11k of spam on my blog. But it is still not that satisfied. I was once forced to off comment on my blog due to heavy spam even though Akismet was on. :X
  • you spelled akismet wrongly in your post title. anyway, my blog doesnt get much spam thankfully. because i require registration to comment.
