If you permit comments on your site, obviously, you're bound to get some comment spams. There are many types of comment spams, but most of it is automated, posted by spam bots that use short, generic messages as a cover for including links.

How to Stop a Comment Spam?
As your site grows more popular, that spam is likely to become an even larger issue and so you should try to stop it immediately.

To do this,
Go to your WordPress dashboard, you can navigate to Settings> Discussion to make this change.

Look for the Comment Moderation Section as shown below:


As you can see, I have kept it to allow only 1 comment in the box. Of course, you can allow more than one but do not go for more than 2 or 3.

Remember, the lesser comment moderation, the lesser risk of getting spammers.

Kindly also note that inadvertent punctuations and syntactical errors in comments slow down your SEO ability.

Therefore, edit the comments you received by going into the Quick Edit box of your post.

I hope that you found this tutorial useful. Kindly note that following these simple steps will definitely propel YOU to the level of the pros and quickly start building your own brand in a short period of time.

Now, get down to work and start throwing some beautiful comments on your favorite sites. You can also pop into the 'Give and Take Comment Thread' of WA.


Kindly feel free to ask questions and give your feedback by joining the discussion.
