This year I’ve made various changes to my blog to reduce comment spam (read more here and here) but finding an effective way to reduce Trackback Spam had eluded me. Adding SK2 meant that it was rare for any spam to get through, but I was still getting around one hundred Trackback Spams a day which was too many a day to check for false positives.
Luckily, I spotted yesterday that gHacks had added a a random trackback generator. After firing off an email to Martin, he told me that he was using the WP-Hardened-Trackback plugin, which generates single-use, expiring trackback urls. Whenever someone tries to send a trackback without a valid key it’s just ignored.
WP-Hardened-Track has been live for a few hours and I’ve had no trackback spam, which is fantastic as I know that in the past I have been losing genuine trackbacks because I haven’t had the energy to plow through hundreds of spam just to find one or two false positives.
