It is quite interesting to learn how to block spamming on your blog. With the superb outburst of technology, it is absolutely possible to spam all over the net. Being a blogger I went through some ways which can to some extent stop these spammers from taking advantage of the blog so easily. Frankly, I need to save my blog here. Just read carefully:

Have you noticed random comments made to your posts? The comments are of little or no relevance at all. Now as your site accepts and displays hyperlinks it becomes an easy prey for these spamdexing experts. If a spammer is trying to promote his site, it becomes easier for him to paste a link in your site and hence get the traffic directed to his. It was in 2003 that spamming took its first step taking advantage of the openness of the commenting feature present in software like “Movable Type”. As technology advanced these spammers took up fresh ways of spamming by adding Trackback Submitter as a tool to their misdeeds. If they can take advantage of technology why should we lag behind in protecting ourselves? Check out the possible ways here:

1) Blocking using keywords; but you have to keep it updated because it is breakable.

2) Using the rel=”nofollow” technique

3) By forbidding hypertext in your posts

4) Display of link to a script on your website which then links to the URL that the hyper link on your

site needs to be linked to.

5) Use the CAPTCHA technique to block automated spam comments

6) By introducing anti-spam measures to your site

7) keep your comment moderation on to avoid direct comments.

8 ) Usage of response tokens, Ajax, RSS feed monitoring can also be measures to keep your blog

spam free.

You can always keep asking question though
