@Alan Mater – Perfection! I especially like the Simple Trackback Validation plugin.

I really never looked into Askimet too much, it just seemed to work well. Looking forward to your post about its shortcomings.

Thanks again for the tips!

@Brent @ Turnkey website design,

No worries, Brent. Actually, I never liked Akismet, for a few different reasons in which I’ll be posting about next month.

There are a couple good, free plug-ins I like. The first one is GASP (http://www.growmap.com/growmap-anti-spambot-plugin/) which I’m using now. The second is WP Captcha Free (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-captcha-free/.

I also use Simple Trackback Validation (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-trackback-validation/) to get rid of Tracback spam.

Hope they help!

Sorry to bud in so late here everyone, but Askimet is no longer free.

Do you know of a free spam block plugin for WordPress? Askimet worked so well, I’m hoping to find something similar. Any suggestions?

@Mike@Get more website traffic,

Better late than never.

I actually use Akismet, which blocks 98% of all spam. Every now and then a few get through, but having Akismet in place is a total time-saver.

I haven’t heard of wp-spamfree. Sounds like it would be just as good.

Hey a little late to the show, but great idea Alan having a contest. What a great way to get people to leave a good comments and add to the conversation. I too have had a lot of people leave either bad or spam comments. And even use auto blogging software crap. It's pretty easy to spot comments from people that don't even take 2 minutes and read your post. Nonetheless I did hear Mr. Google man, Matt Cutts recommend having a plugin called wp-spamfree. Which I did install on several of my WP sites, that were getting bombarded with spammer comments and auto blogging comment software and the difference was 10 fold.
