The Scourge of Trackback Spam

June 25th, 2006 Posted in Advertising/Marketing, Main Page

With Blogware upgrading its anti-spam technology recently, the amount of comment spam on my blog has tumbled dramatically In its place, however, is trackback spam. Every day, I've got to manually prune dozens of items, which means some legitimate trackbacks probably get caught up in the process. Is there anything that can be done to combat the scourge of trackback spam?

    Hi Mark and Stuart,
    We have some items in the works to fight trackback spam in both our Operations groups and in Development.
    Things will get better at the end of this week.
