Akismet
One of the main goals of creating and maintaining a blog is to attract traffic. A blog is not living up to its potential if it is not being read and if it is not increasing its readership. But increased traffic brings with it its own set of problems. A blog that gets more hits will most definitely get more spam. It’s something that is inevitable.
Akismet is a good way of combating spam in your blogs. This handy spam filter is very useful and one of its best features is that it is built into WordPress, the most popular blogging platform. With Akismet, spam is blocked before it even gets to you. That’s great service there.
