Help Please With Trackback Spam On WordPress Blog
December 6th, 2006 • Related • Filed Under
I’m wasting about an hour a day deleting Trackback Spam which is really annoying. What’s the best way of stopping it? I’ve tried installing the Trackback validator, which has helped a bit but hasn’t stopped all the spam.
Also, how do I get the latest trackbacks to display on the Dashboard? At the moment I’m having to delete them by following the ‘delete’ link on the email notification.
Thanks.

I’m not using Akismet but Spam Karma. Spam Karma lists all comments that it declared spam in a list (20 default, but you can change that number).
I mark all with the press of a button and quickly take a look at each, 99% is spam all the time. Once this is done I click on remove selected and all are gone. Takes about 1-5 minutes each day.
I use Spam Karma too. I just let it do it’s thing. I rarely have to do anything. I don’t even have to moderate comments or trackbacks for the most part. Once or twice a month it asks me to moderate something that it isn’t sure of, but that’s it.
akismet works the same way, but was having problems earlier this week with a few making it past the filters.
They seem to have fixed things now though.
I don\’t normally leave comments! But what you said here makes one think! Would you mind if I placed a link back from my blog?
I can\’t believe no one has made that point yet!!! Good work on really nailing down the correct approach. I\’m going to link to this from my blog roll, ok?
