Joining the fight against spammy comments!

I have joined the fight against spammy comments. I already have Akismet activated, and I review my comments for “spamminess” but today I’ve gone a step further and added rel=”nofollow” to the URL of comment posters. According to some reading I’ve done search engines may be encouraging blog owners to use the ‘no-follow’ tag.

We’ll see how this works out, and I’ll be watching future versions of WorsdPress to see if they have or have not adopted this in their software.

    No-follow tag. I haven’t found a need to use them myself in the five years I’ve been blogging, and have found that askimet catches almost everything. I find the issue of spammy comments on my blogs to be a very low maintenance one.
