Just when I thought I had my comment spam under control with Akismet, the die hard comment spammers found a new way to sneak in. They do it in the form of a trackback. I noticed my first one yesterday, then this afternoon I found two more.
I have also noticed increase comment spam on the about page. I’m going to have to do some tweaking in this department.

Hey Brad, I recommend you use Spam Karma 2 which is a great Spam Killer. It keeps the trackback spam at bay too. It’s ideal because it doesn’t interfere with commenters by using annoying captchas and is totally hidden from the end user and at the same time it’s fantastically effective.
99% of my spam has been cut out by this filter. And that’s over a period of time of almost 6-7 months or more.

Thanks Hari, I’ll definately look into tht, as Akismet seems to need some backup. By the way, it’s good to hear from you again!
