Comment Spam

Comment spam or spomment is a reply to the blog entry, video, image, or question that is irrelevant to the content. This kind of comment usually contains links to websites with spam, scam, or inappropriate content. It is also considered a bad SEO technique that will rather rank you down or penalize than rank you higher for backlinks. 

If a website’s comment section is flooded by spam, it can also be harmful to the said website. Users are usually annoyed by spomments and lose their trust in the website. They may also get an awful user experience by following one of the spam links and associating the bad redirect with you.

In order to filter the comments, webmasters do the following:

  • disabling comment section
  • comment moderation, meaning that no comment will appear on the page before review and approval
  • allowing registered users only to post comments
  • using anti-spam tools like CAPTCHA
  • adding nofollow attribute 
  • blocking spam profiles
  • signing up to GoogleAlerts and choosing spam keywords
  • using WordPress plugins like Akismet, G.A.S.P., or CommentLuv
