Recently I've started getting more and more comment spam. At first it started out with one every few days, now it's about two or three a day. I actually like this - for now. It's good to see some traffic to the website, even though it may not be good traffic. It's a small indicator that the site has some exposure somewhere.
After a while this will probably get irritating, but for now, I'm happy to see it... along with real comments of course.

I have noticed that there are a lot of spider that go through the site... as long as they get me traffic in return, I'm game...

It's a good job that I did because a few months later and the flood gates have opened. Without some kind of Spam protection my Blog would be swamped! Jas. http://www.jasonslater.co.uk
