I do use askimet and fortunately haven't had any issues with spam in that regard. Because I am not a highly traffic'd blog yet, I was more frustrated with not being able to see how my blog was growing due to all the spam hits on my view counter on that one day. I published a post a couple days later that brought in way more traffic than the spammers, thus finding some redemption!

Do you use askimet (not sure about the spelling)? Spam got really bad for me until I turned that on. Now I haven’t gotten a single spam message in months. I don’t know if you already use it or not.

Haha nothing like a backhanded compliment to keep the spirits up!

Hi W2R, I really appreciate the mention.

I’ve noticed that spam seems to grow on a logarithmic scale; a little more success equals a ton more spam. Take it as a deranged compliment from the underbelly of the Internet!

Thanks for swinging by DM! I absolutely enjoyed your post, and find that life and the pursuit of success in general can be summed up with the three P’s.

Glad you haven’t had any spamming issues! Hopefully you didn’t jinx yourself and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

w2r,

Thanks for including me in your roundup! Great list of articles there.

I don’t think I’ve been spammed yet. I get some weird comments here and there, but otherwise things have been humming along nicely. Of course, I did just jinx myself.

Hope you’re having a great weekend.

Best wishes.

Thanks for the mention!

I’ve also been getting some more spam views/comments but such is life. There’s not really much you can do to combat it without overburdening regular readers.

Have a great weekend! Ours is starting off nice and dreary.

Been fortunate so far in the spam comment arena, just biding my time till it picks up!

Thanks for the mention! I don’t see the spam stopping anytime soon. I get a lockout notification at least daily. Watch out for the spam comments too!
