10 Spam Stopping Techniques For Your Blog

Posted by Thomas McMahon on Mar 23rd, 2007 in Blogging, Online Marketing |

Stopping SpamSpam is one of those features that comes with a blog and stopping it isn’t quite as easy as it should be. Here are a few ideas to help you out.

  1. Install Akismet - This has to be one of the best plugins. The downside is they’d like you pay if you get a ton of spam. After all, it is the nice thing to do. For the average user though, it’s free.
  2. Install Spam Karma - Excellent plugin that can stop a flood of spam comments. It works great and it’s completely free.

Lowdown on Spamming Social Media

Posted by Lee Odden on Dec 29th, 2006 in Online Marketing, Social Media |

The sheer irony of this post nearly kills me as I’ve had it in my queue to post for a few weeks now. In a presentation I gave at SES Chicago, a video interview with WebProNews and in previous blog posts, I have articulated both a naive confidence in the social news communities at being able to capably police spam as well as reasons not to spam social media in the first place.

Is SMO SPAM?

Posted by Lee Odden on Sep 1st, 2006 in Online Marketing, Social Media |

I was recently reading a post on Marc Pentermann’s blog that suggests social media optimization is pretty much SPAM for social media. My comments about that are as follows:

I think the issue of SPAM and any kind of marketing will always exist regardless of the medium. Email, web pages, blogs and social media are all susceptible.

Just because it is possible to SPAM a medium does not invalidate that medium. Should we not send email because others use it for SPAM? That would not make sense.
