<p>You may have heard of blocklists and how they can help you stop spam. A blocklist is a list of words, URLs, or phrases that are commonly used to spam comments. Any comment that contains those phrases will be held in a queue and then discarded, or put in the trash. To create a blocklist, install a free plugin such as Comment Blacklist for WordPress. You can also use a whitelist to filter spam comments by keywords.</p>
<p>Most people are aware of spam emails. These emails are sent by companies that want to sell something, steal information, or send unsolicited commercial messages. The same thing goes for blog comment spam. The only difference is that blog comment and spam emails don&#8217;t directly target website users, but rather target search engines. By deleting spam comments, you&#8217;re helping the search engines find the content of your website instead of the person who created the original comment.</p>
<p>Most comment spam is automated and generated by bots. These comments are usually off-topic and contain links to other websites. The purpose of using forms to send spam is to increase their ranking in search engines and lure innocent visitors to malicious websites. Although spam comments are difficult to detect, they can still have a negative impact on your website&#8217;s reputation. They can make your site look unprofessional, lower your SERPs, and lose traffic.</p>
<p>Disabling comments is an effective way to avoid spam comments. It&#8217;s important to remember that the goal of a spammer is to spread his or her content as widely as possible, so by restricting comment privileges, you&#8217;re actually discouraging the spammers and reducing your traffic and ranking. So how do you prevent comment-spam? First, disable the comments form altogether. This will help prevent bot comments from appearing on your website.</p>
<p>Blocking comment spam is not an impossible task. Using an anti-spam plugin is one of the best ways to prevent comment spam. These plugins can help separate the good and bad comments. Akismet is a free plugin that connects to a database of spam comments and filters them out. It will not affect your pagerank and will help discourage spammers from targeting your site. You can even use it to limit the number of comments you approve.</p>
<p>By restricting comment privileges, you can easily detect and eliminate spammers. Many spammers try to gain as many followers as possible by posting spam comments. Therefore, limiting comment privileges to visitors is an effective way to deter these types of spammers and keep your site looking professional. However, this method is not effective for every website. You may have to tweak your settings to prevent comment-spam on WordPress. You can even block comments from the comment system on your blog.</p>
<p>While a content management system may contain tools to combat comment spam, you can still manually moderate comments. The best way to do this is to limit the number of links to a single comment. This will discourage users from leaving spam comments that contain links to other sites. This will not eliminate all comment-spammers, but it should slow them down. Once a visitor becomes aware of the link, they will not be able to make a comment.</p>
<p>There are many ways to prevent comment spam on WordPress. You can edit the settings to prevent spam. The first option allows you to moderate all comments that contain specific words. Another option allows you to moderate all comments. This is helpful for large websites. It can also be helpful if you don&#8217;t have a huge amount of spam comments. Having a small comment moderation system can prevent many spam comments. If you have a small number of posts, it is wise to moderate your comments for the most spam-free content.</p>
<p>Enable comments only for registered users. Spammers use anonymous comments to get a high page rank. In contrast, comment spammers use links to lure visitors into clicking on their own websites. By limiting the number of links on your site, you can discourage spammers from attempting to spam your site. You can also require that all comments with links be moderated. This will discourage these spammers from targeting your website. A good moderation system will help you avoid comment-spam on your website.</p>
