Well WordPress<\/a> 2.0 just got released and I’m waiting for my blog spam filter – Spam Karma 2<\/a> – to get a final update release to support WP2 and then I’ll be in feet first. It would be nice if the Rubric<\/a> theme that I use were to get updated for WP2 also, but maybe it just works out of the box, I’ll have to test.<\/p>\n

So I was looking into versions and stuff for my blog upgrade and the guy<\/a> who remade the rubric theme to work with WP1.5 has a little thingy at the bottom of his page that says how many referrer spams have been blocked by Referrer Karma<\/a>. It turns out that it’s by the same guy as Spam Karma and integrates with it. Thats great. Spam Karma solved my spam problem, but I still get thousands of porn web sites claiming to link to me, when they actually don’t, they’re just referrer spamming, which ruins my stats because I like looking at who links to me and where most of my traffic comes from. I think maybe 2 or 3 of my top 20 referrers are legitimate, the rest seem to be Italian hosted porn sites and drug sites. So anyway, I’ll be adding this in too as soon as I get WP2, Spam Karma 2 and rubric installed.<\/p>\n

Anyway, while I was looking around I came across this article about the state of blog spamming<\/a>, which is kinda worrying and it’s over 2 years old. I guess this is way old news to those of you who have been paying attention to this kind of thing for years and well, I kind of knew most of this anyway, but this article makes for pretty stark reading.<\/p>\n
