    Yeh no ****. I keep it on there because I don't use the blog. Even if it helps them, maybe some day I can throw it into their faces and sue them or something.

    I get all kinds of spam on a daily basis for my blog. Never mind that comments get the nofollow attrib on my blog. Never mind that I've always deleted those comments as spam and never allowed one of them through. Yet they keep comming. You'd think after a while they would get tired of trying.

    What gets me is that someone out there must be making money from these things or you would think that they would stop.

    Thumbs up You need to change the setting to registered users only.



    I used to have this issue for my Real Estate Discussion site

    www.DiscussRE.com

    After I turned on that only resisted users can post a comment, I am not getting anymore spam. (Hope they are not going in without me noticing them.)

    I get junk like that all day long. I have my blog set to where I have to approve comments too, but it has no effect, they just keep on coming.

    When you find the magic cure, please let me know!

    Wishful thinking,

    I think it is getting worse and worse, the other night the server processed some 400,000 spam e-mails being sent through one of our contact forms.

    We have managed to track down a couple and now we have redone our email a property form to stop these people from using our site.

    Most of this comes from advertising programs, like you might see in google adwords "6 million e-mails for 49,95 dollars".

    If you think you sent out 6 million emails advertising enlargers etc - you would hope to make a couple of sales - but google, yahoo etc should stop these companies from doing this because it is a pain in the a**e every morning deleting hundreds of spam emails.
