I've been a litte bit busy promoting articles of my site on social medias like Google+, Facebook, and Twitter. One of my article "The ways to avoid scam online" lately on page 8 on Google. My site is only 3 months old and I don't write a lot of articles yet for my site due to my daily job. Also I have to do a lot of readings before writing an article for collecting datas.
A week ago, suddenly I got more than 200 comments in one day. But unfortunately most of them are spam. So, I downloaded a plugin for filtering spam. It is WP-SpamShield. After activating this plugin I got no spam comments, even I got no comments at all for my site. The plugin had been filtering all comments as spam, even good comments. For this reason I've been deactivated the plugin and I got a lot of comments again on my site. It is more than 200 comments a day, which is unfortunately 2/3 of them are spam.
Now I'm filtering the spam manually which is really takes time and makes me so exhausted. Do you know how to filtering those spam or any good spam filter plugin?
Any advice or input will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
