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.

Search… Search… Search… We cannot live without searching in this information edge that full with lot of precious information. Google search engine is the best out there. I wish to integrate it into WordPress long time ago due to WordPress blog search engine is not perfect. I cannot find the stuff that I want most of the time.

Google Custom Search

I took half day to change the blog theme. Created Google Custom Search for JayceOoi.com and spBlogger.com. Integrated it to WordPress then. You should be able to get more accurate data with Google Custom Search’s help now. And I can make some money from AdSense for Search too (if someone click on the ads). Will come out a guide to install Google Custom Search and AdSense for Search soon. Stay tuned…

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.
