I know it gets under my skin when I have to take that extra step to make a comment to someone else's post, especially when it's just a quick "HA!" style comment.

I hate the thought of a true anonymous post getting buried under all the spam, but blowing up my page view count is FAR more irritating.

Having one page of spam comments to delve through every few months would be far better than 26 pages. <br /><br />I may have just been a bit to angry at the time I took action on this. I'm considering dropping the ban on anonymous comments, but that will be for another day.Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638398317329574756.post-45087174688014786662014-04-25T01:58:20.509-04:002014-04-25T01:58:20.509-04:00I totally get what you mean.

Turning on the word verification option helped a lot to reduce it and I've since been able to continue allowing anonymous posts, but I get what you mean.

I've tried my best to try to remove my blog from some of the search engine paths. It seems to work for the most part.Mistress Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830472323307586514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638398317329574756.post-31220559548648114342014-04-24T16:20:33.732-04:002014-04-24T16:20:33.732-04:00I assume, my dear, sweet Cautlyn, that when you in...I assume, my dear, sweet Cautlyn, that when you invite Mr. Spambot to "kiss the cheerleader," that you are not referring to my cheerleader?

At one point, I was getting around 100 spam postings per day, and like you, they centered on about 8-10 posts I made in the past. I assume that something in those posts triggered their SEO (Search Engine Optimization) tools and it chose those posts to spam the living crap out of.<br /><br />In the last week or so, they've been so much better at stopping the spam from even getting into our folders again, I think I'm averaging ONE per day now.
