Spam en Sopa de Ganso

Un minuto después (literal) de publicar el post, recibo el siguiente comentario:

Very nice blog! I've added it to my bookmarks!

I have a Internet Payday Loan site. It pretty much covers Internet Payday Loan related stuff.
Come by anytime and check it out. :-)

La solución a este spam es muy sencilla: basta con activar la opción "word verification"

What is the word verification option?

The "word verification" option can be found on the Settings | Comments tab for your blog, and it looks like this:

If you choose "yes" for this setting, then people leaving comments on your blog will be required to complete a word verification step, similar to the one presented when you create a blog:

What this does is to prevent automated systems from adding comments to your blog, since it takes a human being to read the word and pass this step. If you've ever received a comment that looked like an advertisement or a random link to an unrelated site, then you've encountered comment spam. A lot of this is done automatically by software which can't pass the word verification, so enabling this option is a good way to prevent many such unwanted comments.
