No matter how you halt and block ’spam comments’ on your blog’s dashboard – no matter how Akismet ceases the flow of unwary annotations, spam comments are still there.

You don’t need to ban their ip’s, don’t even bother to do it because they can just mask their ip address with lots of free proxies scattered all over the internet. Most of the ’spammer’s’ main objective is not to drive traffic out of your site but rather to get backlinks and increase their main hub’s rankings in the search engines and search engine’s results page.

Look at my dashboard, just got home from school and this is what I am expecting in everyday of my life.  : )   

I know you are all experiencing this kind of crap and make’s an irritation to your sight.

If you want to take away the benefits from your commenter’s comments due for links, then you can use rel=”nofollow” for all links and tags. By this way, your blog will allow the search engines to disregard or ignore the link.

In the end, it’s always the webmaster’s decision for everything. It’s about his/her ability to manage and adapt the things on the ongoing basis and on how he deals to the spammer’s delinquencies.
