Your religion has nothing to do with the issue of porn sites linking to it. They do that to everyone. Don’t feel special.

If they link to your blog, there is nothing you can do about it. If they rip off your content and use it on their sites, make sure your copyright says that they can’t (be specific) and advise them to remove your content as it violates your copyright.

If they send a trackback, delete it. Porn comment spam is to be treated no differently than any comment spam. Mark it as comment spam with Akismet or whatever you are using to filter out comment spam, and be done with it.

I get many every day and that’s how I deal with it. It’s the way everyone deals with it. Good luck and sorry we have to deal with these types of uglies.

The question is what can I do if someone from a porno site has an imcoming link on my blog? How can I get rid of it? And what does it mean?

Thanks!

The math tests, and other comment torture tests, do not work. They may appear to work, but they stop many from commenting as they hate it, and spammers know how to break through these.

Why bother.

This article was written almost two years ago. Since then, Akismet has come out and improved things greatly, using a community effort to fight comment spam. It’s much better and works in the background so you don’t have to insult the intelligence of your readers.

I recently started using the “Did you pass math” plugin and that has significantly cut down on my spam. Though I am a bit concerned that some people might not realize they need to do the math first, but I figure if they can’t figure it out then I probably wouldn’t want them commenting anyway!

I do write about SEO, but honestly, it’s an old subject. Just write your passion and use words people will search for your blog subject, and WordPress, and forget stats and all the rest of the fuss, including the twits that give you grief.

But if you are following the sheep still obsessed with SEO, see Do-It-Yourself Search Engine Optimization Guide.

And thanks for your kind words. I’m always glad to help.

This time I encountered a fairly popular, bold and arrogant blogger who didn’t have any consideration about ethics nor comment spam. He seems to neither have any regards about CC licenses nor considers his comments as spam(ex: Read all about… at blog http://...)
Listening to him gives the impression that he ignores blogging ethics but maybe he’s only pretending…

Anyway being able to mention your posts shows him that his attitude is a real problem, -not to be taken lightly- and that many think so too.

These ‘thank’ spam comments are spam but on SEO blogs they advise it! BTW, they often give horrible advice.
I’d be very interessted if you could write about that.(SEO advice/blogging ethics?)

Comment spam follows links. The more incoming links you have to your blog, the more comment spam.

Luckily, those who can use Akismet, Bad Behavior, and Spam Karma, like WordPress and other popular blogging and forum programs, have less comment spam published on their blogs because the comment spam is caught. Those without such features - I feel sorry for them.

There are a lot of myths going around about comment spam. Don’t fall for them or spread them. Find out the facts.

And, another advice is:Do not use widely used blog/article systems, because spam love them.

I shut the blog down in the end… but i have been thinking of starting again - maybe using wordpress… maybe a plugin adding “this blog uses the nofollow tag, links are not followed by google” to the “post a comment” link would be a good idea?
