I mentioned sometime ago that I was working on a music podcast/blog. It’s almost ready to go. I’ve shown a few people for feedback but I’ve not widely announced it yet.

However, about a week ago, I started to receive comment spam, about one a day, all drug related. I have it set up so that comments are moderated unless it’s a commenter who’s been previously approved so no comment spam has actually appeared but they still come.

Spam is so cheap to send that I don’t suppose their lack of success in getting their ad on my site will ever deter them. Once they find a blog to spam it’s far cheaper to just keep spamming than it would be to check to see which sites are accepting the spam. So I imagine I’m stuck with it forever.

Still I feel a little freaked to have been “discovered”. The spammer community LOVES my music!

I wonder if there’s a way to change the comment link so that it’s easy for a person to see and access but spam bots would be confused?
