I don’t know about you other bloggers out there, but I get a LOT of comment spam from people wanting or thinking they are going to get some free product advertisement on this site. Let me be the first to tell you- it ain’t happening.
Someone asked me (via a spam comment) how I keep SPAM comments off this blog- As you can see ‘person’- your comment was not approved and was delivered promptly into the spam garbage can. In spite if you attempting to disguise your advertising as an actual comment- it still isn’t allowed, so off to the garbage can it went.
So to answer your question- that’s how I get rid of spamming. I simply don’t allow it. Advertising is possible on this site- and you’re always welcome to contact me at info@ this site dot com (througthetulips.com) in order to inquire. It won’t happen through comments though- not as long as I have anything to say about it.
I am astounded at the amount of russian /ukrainian initiated spam gets caught in my blog filters as well!!! With the odd English 4 word comment to disguise it but the shonky email addresses always give it away.
