15+ WORDPRESS ANTI SPAM PLUGINS

Your WordPress blog is your platform for sharing information about your
passions, concerns, and hobbies. If you run a business, your WordPress site is
your forum for displaying your goods and services, interacting with customers,
and even making sales. Unfortunately, spammers can negatively impact your site
in many ways.

They harass your followers, mess up your analytics, and hog your resources for
their devious purposes. Fortunately, there are ways to stop spammers in their
tracks by using one of the following anti spam WordPress plugins.





CUSTOMER REFERRAL SPAM BLOCKER

Not only does referral spam mess up your Google Analytics statistics, it also
serves to help spam websites build up their search engine rankings. This makes
these spam sites appear to be legitimate. Essentially, the referrer makes
multiple requests to your site using a bogus referrer URL. This adds the
spammer’s URL to your statistics, and also causes search engine spiders to index
the spam site. This plugin blocks these and keeps them out of your analytics
stats.


WPBRUISER

There is no doubt that spambots are a problem for WordPress websites.
Unfortunately, forcing users to enter in confusing and hard to read characters
from captcha images is also problematic. This is why WPBruiser exists. It
catches and blocks spambots from regisitering on your website or leaving
comments, without forcing people to use captcha. Many other plugins only catch
spammers after they’ve already registered. This means you have to do the real
cleanup. WPBruiser gets them before they even get in the door. Another feature
that many webmasters find attractive is that this solution doesn’t access any
external databases. It is entirely self-contained.


CM E-MAIL REGISTRATION BLACKLIST

This plugin prevents your WordPress site from spammers who are trying to
register on your website. It checks users against databases of known spammers,
and lists of blacklisted domains. If the user shows up on any of those lists,
their attempt at registration fails.


SITEWIDE COMMENT CONTROL

In most instances, when a spammer or troll decides to target the comments
section, they tend to stick to a single website on your network. Handling this
is easy. You simply lock the spammer out of the site. However, every so often, a
spammer decides to make a special project out of an entire network, and they
begin spamming all of your websites.

SiteWide Comment Control allowsw you to manage spammers over your entire network
by blackholing their comments, sending them to a spam queue, or putting them on
moderation. The last option is great for users who are new to your network and
not yet vetted out.

For example, someone posting a list of best apps as their first post might be
suspected as someone doing affiliate marketing for the makers of one of those
apps, so you would keep them on moderation until you were sure they were a
legitimate follower.


WP-SPAMSHIELD ANTI SPAM

This is plugin provides 2 layers of spam protection. First, it keeps the bots
that are the source of most spam problems out of your WordPress site. Then, it
also stops most human spammers from clogging your comments section with spam
posts. Here’s the best part. All of this happens behind the scenes. This means
that the users who are filling out your contact forms and commenting on your
posts legitimately, won’t be harassed to prove that they are human.


ACT STOP SPAM

This plugin uses the StopForumSpam.com database of blacklisted ip addresses to
keep your website safe from spammers. If you have issues with incoming spam bots
wasting your time and chewing up your bandwidth, this is a great plugin for
keeping your WordPress website safe. This is a great tool that provides
fundamental spam protection.


AKISMET

The Akismet plugin uses the Akismet web service to verify whether or not
comments submitted to your website are spam. If it flags something as spam, that
comment is sent to a queue for you to either review and approve or delete
permanently. Every comment that is left on your website is tagged with a status
history.

This lets you know which comments Akismet approved, and which were flagged but
later approved. When reviewing comments in the spam queue, you can see URLs to
verify that they aren’t misleading. This plugin is free if you are operating a
personal blog, but there is a subscription fee to use the API key if you have a
commercial site.


IP-GEO BLOCK

IP Geo Block performs many functions to keep your site safe and free of annoying
spammers. First, it contains code that prevents your site from being impacted by
the zero day exploit Then, it blocks IP addresses from outside of your country
from accessing the admin portion of your website, commenting on your posts, or
attempting to send login requests. There’s even a feature that allows you to
block all IP addresses from specific countries.


ANTI SPLOG

Most bloggers create their WordPress websites to share helpful, informative, or
entertaining content with their followers. Legitimate commercial sites are
created to sell products and services, but they have specific features that give
proof that they are not bog spam sites.

For example, they contain legitimate contact information, and the content is
relevant and useful. Splogs, on the other hand, are created not for the purpose
of sharing content, but to simply link to affiliate websites.

The content is meaningless, repetitive, and often automatically generated with
lots of keywords stuffed into it. Anti Splog protects legitimate bloggers by
blocking spam bots from splogs from signing up on your site, and it helps you to
determine which blogs are flagged as being highly likely to be splogs.


GRAPHCOMMENT COMMENT SYSTEM

This plugin replaces your default comments session with a third party solution
that facilitates both discussion and collaboration. Of course, part of
encouraging users to engage in meaningful dialogue with you and other visitors
is to catch and get rid of abusive comments and spam before they are posted.

GraphComment does a great job of this, leaving your comments section a safe
place for legitimate users to discuss various issues with one another without
harassment. Finally, because the comment moderation is done automatically, you
spend less time dealing with moderation issues yourself.


WORDPRESS ZERO SPAM




WordPress Zero Spam is another popular plugin to fight against the spams. It is
based on a concept of Javascript given by Mozilla developer David Walsh. It is
easy and simple to use. It does not require any additional API or settings for
use. It uses javascript key validation for preventing the spams. It does not

address of the commenter and avoids the spam comments. It creates a separate
database of the spam comments which can be cleared after every few days. It
