In my last post I talked about spam comments in blogs and how to stop them. I found out my Akismet (spam catcher plugin) got uninstalled for some reason. And that is why the spam was just pouring in.
I uploaded the plugin again and installed. And guess what in the past 2 days Akismet stopped about 30 spam comments! Phew I love that plugin. So if you have a blog and getting a lot of spam comments. Download Akismet.
These days Akismet comes pre installed in WordPress. All you have to do is to register at WordPress. You will be given an API key. all you have to do is to enter the API key and your Akismet plugin is activated.
Another fantastic plugin is Blog Stats. It is so detailed in giving you where your traffic is coming from how they are searching for you etc. I just love it. The keywords are given to you on a platter. Then all you do is go and write a post or tweak your page accordingly.
Download Blog Stats from WordPress.
You will need your API key for this as well. Happy blogging.
