What to do with spam comments?

A fast way of going through them, which I use, is to open all pending comments and trash them if there is no avatar.
If that doesn't appeal, then look at the emails if it ends with.ru it is Russian and in my experience 100 percent spam

There was an issue with site domains earlier, and Kyle has escalated the problem - You couldn't get a domain name going; it showed an error.
What error are you exactly getting? What does it say on your screen?

Same thing is happening. 1st 2 times I was refunded. I've made another successful attempt to purchase the domain but after hitting the build my website button it is giving me an error and now again I have been refunded.

Looking to delete some old posts. I see that this can be bad for SEO in some cases and there are tests you can take to determine whether this is a good idea or not.
Hi Alex,
Take a look at the following in your Google Analytics and Search Console for the last 12 months.
Search Console:
* Little to no impressions for the page in question
Google Analytics
* Little to no visitor for the page in question
This is a likely sign to either unpublish the post or try and re-write the post.

Jay
Then it serves no purpose an old review to a product that doesn't exist, not indexed. What is it for?
I am just going though a few of these posts and I am seeing that they have not actually been indexed. I have deleted one post so far that I didn't really like but what do you think of this example? Product review for product that has changed its name so I wrote a newer review. There is a notice at top of post that says I have a new better review published. Should I delete this or request indexing?
I wouldnt delete any post unless it was completely wrong due to new technology or development. my strategy would be update
The content in question is some of my old reviews for clickbank products. Some I think are OK to keep but the trouble is that the products I've reviewed are no longer online. It does seem a shame to waste hours of writing but someone said that it is good to have a purge every once in a while because of crawl budget.
I mean I know you are a seasoned blogger you're definitely someone who I should listen to but I do feel my older content some of it I don't really like.
I'm cool with deleting some posts but not if it's going to have a negative effect on my site.
I think the question you must ask yourself is, what good are they doing? Forget the work and the time. If you have links to products no longer available, they are broken links, and I definitely wouldn't have that. I might be tempted to make a banner in Canva that says something like xxxx product is no longer available. Go to and give a URL for a newer, better product. If none is available, then I would delete a review that can't make you money. I would start with Google Analytics, and if it has no visitors, let it go.
