Getting a lot of this

 And I'm not sure why.

But Blogger is doing a decent job detecting it and keeping it away from your eyes.  Roughly 50 spam comments are left each day, peddling knock off designer handbags, knock off Ugg boots, knock off Viagra and Cialis among other things.  Many are in languages that I am not even certain as to where they originated! I see some Cyrillic, so some have to be coming from Russia, but there are other languages that I don't even recognize - although I have seen a few in Polish, too.

Spam, it's not just tasty meat in a can anymore!

This blog has been spam free since 2005 and will stay that way, if I have anything to say about it!

    Hi Larry,

    have a look at http://mattgemmell.com/2012/01/03/comments-still-off/ - Matt Gemmell turned off the comments in his blog entirely.
    Now he's getting more traffic - and the comments he gets for each post via email are more valuable.

  2. Good evening Larry, I too have been getting spam starting about 3 month ago. I don't get 1/8 as much spam as you do but as you said blogger does a very good job dealing with it before it ever gets on the blog.
