I use two plugins to auto-block WordPress blog comment spam, Akismet and Anti-Spam by CleanTalk. They both work well and they work together. I also moderate all comments, so spam and worthless comments do not get published and do not harm my blog.
This spammer got my attention because it is a mobile notary from LA, sending spam links to other notaries with blogs. His spam is getting posted where other notaries are not spam-filtering or moderating their blogs, or are gullible and manually approving worthless "thank you" comments from India, generated by spam bot software, not a sincere thank you from a real human blog reader.
I am gathering forensic evidence on this spammer to report the link scheme to Google and other parties. |
