How serious? Wordpreneur.com isn’t exactly a hotbed of activity currently. Even then, since June 5 — that’s only a couple of weeks ago — the site’s comment spam folder has collected 803 of them.
That’s nothing compared to many other sites. Now imagine having to administer all that crap manually.
Fortunately, we’ve got some equally serious help for WordPress that pretty much cost nothing. If you need one for your site, here are a few to check out, in alphabetical order (one of which is what I use here):
- Akismet Anti-Spam
- Antispam Bee
- CleanTalk AntiSpam
- Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin
- WordPress Zero Spam
- WPBruiser
Which one do I use? The first one, published and maintained by the WordPress dudes themselves.
Enjoy today’s featured selections!
