The last thing I ever thought would happen was to get automated SPAM posted as comments on my blog site. It's a fairly new site, about a month now. So how did they find me? I don't even really show up on the search engines yet. I don't even get on the first page when searching on "Professional Monkey". Are there really that many professional monkeys out there?

So back to the SPAM. Now that they've found me, am I doomed to be bombarded with SPAM comments? It's happened three times now, each time with more posted comments than the last. It's the same format every time, always selling pharmaceuticals online. I don't require registration to post a comment because I didn't want to discourage people from posting to my new blog, but being trusting was probably my first mistake. The question remains, to require registration or not? For now I've used the SPAM tagging feature of WordPress and I've got my fingers crossed. Will report back with the results.
