Stop SPAM Comments WordPress in 30 seconds (100% Free)

Taking the time to stop spam comments in WordPress could be the difference between you accepting comments on your blog or not.

I disabled comments in WordPress because I felt that they didn't add anything to my website, however... after speaking to a few people who wished they could leave comments on my website, I realised that enabling comments and encouraging readers to interact with you is a great way to connect with your audience.

So, I turned comments back on.

And I was hit instantly with a SPAM comment; within 30 minutes.

HOW WORDPRESS WEBSITES GET SPAM COMMENTS

Spam comments on WordPress sites can come from different sources:

Automated Bots and Scripts: Spammers use programs that can quickly post comments on many sites. These programs look for websites with open comment sections and post spam comments with links to their own sites or products.

Comment Form Abuse: Spammers can directly interact with the comment form on WordPress sites, either by hand or using automated tools, to submit spam comments without actually visiting the page.

Exploiting Weaknesses: If a WordPress site isn't updated or has security problems, spammers can take advantage of these issues to get into the site and add spam comments.

Sneaky Tactics: Spammers might hide links in the code of their comments or use normal-looking comments with spammy usernames or URLs to trick spam filters.

Purchased Spam Services: Some services will post spam comments on websites for a fee, letting spammers pay someone else to spam WordPress sites for them.
