Great advice. I’m not too keen on using auto-submitters, but eh…

@TypeLife, I actually saw your post on this last night. I started to update this post, but figured I would try it out and make another post about it later.

I’m developing a semi-automated tool to promote and submit your RSS Feeds to various one-click-submit RSS Directories, check out FeedStub.

Yes Akismet is awesome for sure, my other blog still runs and it easily catches a dozen false comments everyday (and I haven’t even updated it in a year haha)

The only MAJOR problem I ever had was with trackbacks, since there was no filter I could find for them. Luckily though, with this new Pingback system that seems to be very popular, I don’t think I have to worry about that kind of spam as much…

Or maybe I do

I guess I’ll see haha, thanks for the reply! I may look into RSS submissions soon

Tim, I’m pretty sure anything you do to promote a blog is going to attract the spammers. I get hit constantly, but Akismet pretty much takes care of them. There are quite a few comment spam plugins around now, but I’ve only used Akismet so I can’t vouch for any of the other’s effectiveness.

I have not tried but I’m pretty sure you could utilize several different spam plugins to help with the comment spam problem.

I still approve every comment on my blogs even with the spam filter installed. It takes a little time and there are people who think comment approval inhibits discussions, but I would rather take the time to ensure that my readers are not subjected to non-relevant comments.

I had an old blog that I promoted pretty heavily back in the day that eventually got overridden with spam comments/trackbacks, pretty much anything they could do to get a link on my site they did.

So far I’ve been avoiding mass submission stuff to blog directories and rss directories.

Do you know if there’s any correlation to submitting to RSS feeds and Spam, or is it a pretty safe bet?

Thanks!

Great tips. This just proves that no matter how many tips you read over the net, there are bound to be new ones you have not heard.
