Avoid from Blog Spammer



Comments - A great form of feedback, now anyone can make comments on a particular blog posting. As blog commenting has grown more popular, so has spam commenting. In this newsletter, we'll go over why comments are a great form of feedback for your blog, how they help the credibility of your content, what spam comments are and how to prevent them from happening.

Commenting is great because it allows real people to tell you what they think about your form. It gives you feedback on what you are doing right and what you may need to improve. Comments can be encouraging to you and motivate you to post more quality blog messages. Or they can be constructive criticism to make you work harder to get better at writing content.

Bad comments unfortunately, spammers have now started to use comments as a way to spam. How do you know what a spam comment is? A spam comment is a comment that only advertises another site or product. If the comment seems bland or generic with a cheap link thrown in, then it's definitely a spam comment.

Here is an example of a typical spam comment: "Hey, this site is really cool. Check out my really cool site at spamsite.com."

Below are a couple ways that you can prevent spam comments from even being posted on your blog.

1) Close off commenting on older blog posts there are options for you to stop comments from being posted on any particular blog post. Lots of times, spammers will post comments in weeks or months old posts. So take away this opportunity from them to keep it from happening. Most blog hosters now offer this as a standard option in the tool panel. If one of your posts has been up for a couple weeks, close it up.

2) If you host your own blog using Bloggers or WordPress, you can use an option in that software to prevent spam. Even if you aren't using WordPress, you can still use other Spam comment blocking software like Spam Karma, Akismet, and Bad Behavior. While these aren't 100% effective, they have proven to be quite effective in preventing spam from happening.

3) People leaving comments on your blog will be required to complete a word verification step, similar to the one presented when you create a blog. What this does is to prevent automated systems from adding comments to your blog, since it takes a human being to read the word and pass this step. If you've ever received a comment that looked like an advertisement or a random link to an unrelated site, then you've encountered comment spam. A lot of this is done automatically by software which can't pass the word verification, so enabling this option is a good way to prevent many such unwanted comments.

4) The ability to moderate comments as they are added to your blog can be very handy in certain situations. Perhaps you have very spirited discussions where tempers are prone to running a little high or perhaps you just want to catch any comment spam before it reaches your page. Whatever your reasons, the comment moderation feature will let you view all comments before they appear on your blog.

5) Take a look at your settings and see what can be tweaked to toughen your protection Lots of blogs now have settings to help prevent spam. If you already have a spam blocker on in your blog and are still experiencing spam, take a closer look at the settings to see if there's anything that can be tweaked to make your protection stronger. However, if you do this, you should closely monitor your posts to make sure legit comments aren't being blocked out. If they are, you might have to lighten up a bit.

6) Regularly read your blog comments, Be sure to keep an eye on your comments. Even the best software or setting can't prevent everything, so you will have to occasionally manually remove comments on your own. By applying the above principles, you can ensure that your blog is full of only good, quality comments, which will help your credibility tremendously. Comments are a great form of communication between yourself and your readers. They help the credibility of your blog!

5 free tips: Avoid from Spammer



Spam is a daily nuisance for all of us.There are dozens of programs available for fighting spam. The major problem is that most of these programs cost money. But below we have 5 different free tips to fighting the spam :


1. Don't give out your personal e-mail address. This is stating the obvious but it's the first big mistake people make. DO NOT use your personal e-mail address for sign up forms, competitions, surveys or any other nonsense that may result in you being spammed. It's much easier to prevent spam, by never giving out your personal e-mail address, than it is to cure the problem once you're on 100's of junk e-mail lists.

2. Sign-up free e-mail account. Set yourself up with a Gmail,Hotmail, Yahoo or any other free e-mail account and use it as a spam holder account i.e. use it on all those popups or sign up forms that you *suspect* may try to spam you. You can then periodically check your free e-mail account for both legitimate and spam e-mail and delete the rubbish you don't want.

3. Use a disposable email address You could also try a disposable e-mail address at spamgourmet. Once you've registered, your forwarding e-mail address (your personal email address) with them you can then create self-destructing e-mail addresses that stop working after receiving a specific number of e-mails.

4. Use a free spam filter. Unfortunately even when you follow all the correct steps you can still wind up getting junk e-mail. There's only solution at that point - install a spam filter on your PC. The best free spam filter I've come across so far is Mailwasher. An excellent program that won't cost you a cents.

5. Spammers love newsgroups and forums. They especially love the way people post their personal email addresses there. It doesn't matter if it's a paid, private or free forum spammers have their harvester programs hunting for email addresses every minute of every day. If you have to post your email address then you just use the e-mail created for junks.

Spammers can harvest 35,000 email addresses per hour from newsgroups and forums - don't let your email address become one of those. I can show you, how the spammer simply, get your e-mail from the web, but... see you at my another posting.... :0)

Spam go to work?



Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems. It is the mass mailing of a single email to thousands to a billion of recipients. The spam perpetrator or "spammer" obtains a list of valid email addresses from one of several sources, then fire out as many emails, hoping to get one or two percent of profitable responses. Commercial spam is like telemarketing on steroids. Instead of one call at a time, you can send thousands of emails in a very short period, with really no expense besides the bandwidth necessary to mail out all that email, or just the cost of the Internet connection itself.


The second most common source of spam are the many email propagating viruses, or 'worms' on the Internet. Once a computer is infected with one of these programs, it will email a copy of the virus accompanied by a sometimes deceptive, often inane message, to every email address known by the system. If these emails are opened, the worm will reproduce itself exponentially, creating more junk email.


The Spammer is spamming in different media such as Instant Messaging and Chat Room spam, Chat spam, Newsgroup spam and forum spam, Mobile phone spam, Online game messaging spam, Spam targeting search engines, Blog, wiki, and guestbook spam and Spam targeting video sharing sites.


Over 45% of all email sent over the Internet is unwanted and uninvited. The best way of dealing with spam currently is through avoidance and redirection. If you use email, sooner or later you will start receiving spam, but if you can redirect this spam to a location where you don't have to look at it, it won't do you any harm.


Now many email providers have a spam filtering, by clicking report spam or marking a message as spam, all the spamming messages, will only appearing in your spamming box not in yours inbox.
