1,000th comment spam caught at Daily Iteration

Posted by in Internet, Meta | 9 comments

Less than two months after moving to our new home at Webfaction and activating Akismet on the blog (previously I used Spam Karma), Akismet today reports that it has caught an astonishing 1000 comment spams.  Considering this count starts on March 19th, and that the blog has very little traffic, this is quite astonishing, isn’t it?  According to Google Analytics, I haven’t even had that same number of pageviews ever since I started tracking the blog…  Where will this end?  And I wonder what it’s like for the very large blogs, how much spam they must surely get.  Any of you A-listers reading care to comment :P ?

[UPDATE] Problogger’s Darren Rowse replied through Twitter, and it’s ridiculous: he’s had 3,911,810 comments blocked so far in one of his blogs!
