Every blogger hates Spam and wants to get relief from it to save their blog. Formerly spam was not big deal for search engine but now it is very dangerous for the blog. 

Google has also introduced Penguin and Panda algorithm to find out spam and low-quality blog. But eventually, it is not able to make completely spam free.

I have personally seen that that blog that allows comments from Anonymous are mostly affected by spam. Google has introduced spam comment, by this option you can easily identify the commentator who has made spam. 

Because after getting a comment from a spammer the comment will go directly into the spam comment box. So after getting this we should simply delete it rather than publishing it.

  1. I really like this as I have to moderate the comments on my blog. I used to get a lot of spam comments. There are some good comments that I never allow though because they link to their site, which is competition. I've looked at all their sites, and I'm confident that my content is far superior, but I still don't want my readers and prospective clients to be redirected to a competing site.

    I followed your instructions but my template does not have the ]]> in it anywhere. In fact, I don't even see the html for the "comments" section. Is there a way to add the link blocking code anyway?
