CAPTCHA 60 Spammers 0
Well the numbers aren’t real since I can’t tell how many spammers my CAPTCHA has foiled but based on the previous count that seems to be a reasonable number. Even with Akismet dilligently policing my comments I was getting an average of 15 or so spammy commments slip through each week and thats little old me on my tiny blog, I can’t even begin to imagine what serious bloggers get. Adding a CAPTCHA to the comment form dropped that number to 0 immediately.
The moral of the story is this, bloggers, no matter how small or how large your site is, use a CAPTCHA on your comment forms, it makes a huge difference.
