Today I am actually so impressed by my favorite WordPress plugin, I am not sure what I would have done without it. The plugin is called Akismet, and it helps me catch spam in a way that makes the job so easy for me.
Why am I so impressed? Today Akismet has removed 15,300 spam comments for me since I installed it. Can’t even imagine how much time I would have used to remove them all without Akismet. No matter how many good plugins there are for WordPress, I can’t think of one that can get past Akismet and into the first place.
Thank you Akismet for all the time I have saved and thank you for being free.

I think it is happening on my blog. I use Spam Karma 2 and I’ve been getting alot of “Your resource is GREAT!” comments from pharmacy-like named people. Well some of the posts they commented on, the nature of the post I knew they totally didn’t read it =P
They do this and don’t have any links in, but the names are usually not real. I think that way next time they post with the links they’ll be the keywords they want.
