Top 10 WordPress Anti Spam Plugins

As I was promissing few days ago here, I ‘ll name few tools that you can use to fight agains WordPress Spam.

Here we go:

1. Akismet “ a very popular plugin which comes by default with wordpress. To use it, you need to signup for a wordpress acount and get an API key for your website.
2. Defensio “ A wordpress plugin that helps you filter your comments and also provides rss feed for both accepted and Ëœspammed ‘ comments.
3. Simple CAPTCHA “ Adds turing text to your comment area to eliminate automated comments
4. Challenge “ Adds a challenge to your comments area, the regular stuff being additions and multiplications
5. Referrer Bouncer “ You don ‘t need to do anything to use it. Just activate it.
6. Email Immunizer “ Simply converts all your emails on your website to numeric references to prevent email colecting
7. WPBayes “ Implements the spam filtering with the Naive Bayesian technique, which means it marks the comments as spam or not based on your previous decisions. To be honest, I didn ‘t use this one
8. Spam Karma 2 “ This one assigns a karma score based on multiple factors like the age of the post, the email, if there ‘s a link inside, etc, etc.
9. WP Spam Hitman “ It fights agains wordpress spam using a series of patterns. That ‘s all I know about it, please test it and let me know if it ‘s a good one.
10. Did you pass Math “ Does the same thing as the one at point #4.

Well.. I think 10 tools are enough to keep you away from spam comments. Test them and use the one(s) you like the most.
