Akismet – The Plugin You Need For Your Blog


So after a few months of working on my blog I have started to generate a decent amount of traffic but have also generated a lot of spam comments to my blog. This has got so out of control that I can receive over a hundred spam comments per day. So in order to handle this I have installed the pluginAkismet to resolve the issue.  Here is how it works.
Download the Plugin / Install Plugin
For most WordPress users this plugin should come pre-installed with WordPress.  All you need to do is go to Plugins at the top of the admin panel and activate Akismet.  If you don’t see it in your plugins you can download it here.  Once you have it installed you can activate it like I have explained above.
Getting a WordPress.com API Key
In order to get this plugin to work correctly you will need a WordPress.com API Key.  You can get details of what this API Key is here.  So in order to get a WordPress.com API Key you will need to have a WordPress.com account.  You should go to WordPress.com and signup for an account.  Once you are logged in your API Key is listed on your profile page, which you can get to by clicking the “My Account” link in the top right when you’re logged in.
Using Akismet
So once you have applied the API Key the plugin is ready to be used.  It is pretty straight forward but here are a few details.  When you click on the comments section in the admin panel of your WordPress there will be a link at the top for Akisment Spamand a number of spam.  You can click on that to review the spam and delete them all at once.  If you don’t go to this link this spam will be automatically deleted after 15 days.  Another thing you can do is when you are at the dashboard of your WordPress admin panel you can click on Akismet Stats to get stats of the spam caught.  You can see theHam – legitimate comments, spam detected, missed spam, and false positives (which are comments marked as spam when they were legitimate comments).
So hopefully all of these details on this plugin were helpful for you and I hope you try out this plugin because it will definitely make blogging and managing your comments a lot easier!
