Excitement turned to disappointment when I logged in – 122 SPAM comments :(

What makes no sense to me though is why they bothered

- my site has no page rank and very little traffic as yet and none of the url’s they used in their spam comments seemed to be valid sites (no I did not click them – I looked them up) All were submitted within minutes of each other but from different IP’s so it must have been some kind of bot I think.

I would hate to have to make comments members only as I know I rarely register for blogs just to leave a comment but I am unsure of how to stop these pests – and suggestions?

What do YOU do to stop comment spam?

Well Im back off to bed to nurse a nasty cold and hope my inbox is only full of real comments in the morning :)
