How to save money each month with our frugal living tips blog
ha ha ha Congratulations for your outstanding achievment indeed!
Congratulations on the milestone. What are your traffic figures then? Are you seeing this translating into any real numbers?
Whatever it is, is a milestone. My Akismet is very happy to eat a couple of hundreds spam comments a day and it never feel hungry. I think i am going to achieve that milestone very soon.
LOL! Congratulations! Here is to the next 10,000!
What a milestone it is. Good work Akisemt. I think Akismet loves to eat all spams. Did you ever check some of comments in Akisemt? I always delete them without reading, is it good or I should read or look some of them?
You’re welcome! No I’m kidding really, I do enjoy reading your posts. That is a lot of spam! Maybe you should pick your favorite wacky spam comment out of all of those and share it with us.
Do you ever find a valid comment in Akismet’s quarantine? I think Akismet is very intelligent and it can smell easily that who is spam and who is not.
Dang, atleast Askimet deals with most of those spams. I’ve only had 500 spam caught by Askimet (and another 100 manually dealt with.) You might want to try BadBehaviour, it cuts out most of the bots before they get a chance to spam you in the first place 
I still find the:
“Good information, thanks”
Style comments get through Askimet, which is really annoying 
10,000? That really most have taken and wasted a lot of your time.
Hi adhs, and Steve,
Sometimes we do find good comments in the spam filter but I think we’re getting too many now for it to be worth checking.
Akismet is intelligent, yes. But I don’t think it is prepared for the SEO spam. I mean, like you said, we have the ““Good information, thanks”. In France, we called it the “Super lien, encore merci”…
All of the question is, is it necessary to do a moderation, or not ? The tools based on reputation and votes are not good to validate a comment. We still need a human eye… not an akismet script.
Congratulations!!!!! I cannot stand spam. But at least you learned some very valuable black jack skills and er, other things. ;^)
Congrats bro! Spam makes the world go round!
You do realize that your blog is on the dofollow list, right?
That’s probably a major reason for the spam.
