Best Anti-Spam Plugins For WordPress

Now here moves my list, all of these plugins are tested by me personally on this blog. They are compatible with latest wordpress upgrade. All of them are good but I can’t use them all.

1 ) Akismet : This is the world’s most popular anti-spam wordpress plugin. This plugin is used by many eCommerce website, problogs. Akismet uses an API for its functionality. It also has different subscription options for both enterprise and personal level.

But according to me this plugin is do nothing good for you. I mean to say, a plugin which will just scan the comments whether its spam or not and if so, will mark it it as spam. So what’s the benefit, I am still getting the spam comments in my blog, and I have to look at them. Akismet is not designed to stop any comment bots. But instead it has some write rules to verify the comment. This is a kind of work which you can do with your own wordpress comment moderation system. But if the power of Aksimet is combined with any of the anti-spam plugins listed below, then it will become the most powerful comment moderation system ( Going little higher ). Get Akismet

2 ) G.A.S.P : This is my favorite. My blog will not stand up even an hour without this plugin. Before installing this, I used to get more than 40 to 65 comments each day, in which few of them were some real and the rest were just spam. It used to take me more than 5 to 10 minutes to check the real ones. It was really a hard job. But then I finally came to Growmap Anti Spam-bot Plugin. Its the best one I have ever used. It just adds the check box below each comment box, now if you are human just click on it and the comment will be verified. This is a kind of task which cannot be completed with any commenting bot. And this doesn’t even hurts any of your visitor, they don’t need to fill up any boring words. Grab GASP here
