I receive lot of spam comments lately. They managed to slip through Akismet spam filtering. Something likes “I would prefer Infolinks over Kontera because they pay much better.” Hmm… Did Infolinks have something to do with it?

Spam comments

Got these 2 comments on different blogs. Both coming from the same IP but with different name and email address. Look like spam comments to me. So I spammed them.

How to block WordPress spam comments? Do install Akismet plugin on your blog. It will help filter a lot of spam comments. One or two spam comments might slip through from time to time. But Akismet plugin does block most of them. You can help Akismet too by identify spam comments by spam it.

Hmm… I am not a Google Chrome fan. I use Firefox most of the time. But this Chrome extension ~ iPageRank ~ SEO Tool for Chrome really makes me wants to use Chrome. This plugin gets PageRank and calculates how much PR is transferred to external links, analyzes keywords, Alexa, TIC…

iPageRank

iPageRank New Features

• Shows PageRank in Google search results and highlights your websites in the search results (with position)
• Gets Alexa
• Gets тИЦ (TIC) from Yandex
• New toolbar added that automatically moves when mouse is over it.
• Shows keyword frequency and performing keywords (ie in title, headers, description etc). It will alert you of user defined keywords when found.

PageRank in Google search results

Love this feature. Firefox should have similar SEO add-on like iPageRank. Going to search for it. By the way, I am not sure about the accuracy of iPageRank. Do let me know after you try it out. And no worry, I will still comment at your blog even your PR is 0.

I used WP-PostViews WordPress plugin by Lester Chan on JayceOoi.com and spBlogger.com. It is a WordPress plugin that display how many times a post had been viewed. The question ~ is it good for you?

As a SEO blogger… What will you do when you see a post that has lot of page view? For me? I will research on the post title keywords popularity. And start my own post on it. Will you do the same too?

By the way, WP-PostViews has the ability to show the most view posts of all time. I stopped using it because of this.
