If you run a blog and get a lot of comments submitted to your blog that are spam or links to malicious software, don’t worry, your not alone. According to WebSense 95% of blog comments are spam.

There are steps you can take to limit the amount of spam you get but the methods to combat spam vary depending on the blogging software you use (e.g. Blogger, WordPress, etc).

You could also take the drastic measure of turning off comments completely so that nobody can submit comments but then this doesn’t encourage a community and might make regular blog readers who like to leave a comment stop reading your blog.
