I have noticed a new trend with comment spammers recently. The comment spam is constructed in such a way as to leave multiple links. Now I may not be a pro-blogger but I know that this type of spam is just plain wrong. The spammer is actually creating several leaks from your blog. If you allow enough of this type of comment spam to go through it will end up affecting your Page Rank (PR). I am taking two approaches to dealing with type of greedy spam. If the comment is pleasant enough I strip the html from the comment then post it. In blogger, this means doing a manual cut and paste of the comment without any html in the comment itself as well as posting with the name of the author without the link. If and only if the comment spammer checks back to see if the comment was posted they will immediately notice the html has been stripped sending a clear message that while comments are welcomed, their link spam is not. They will move on to another blogger who blindly allows all comments to post without moderation. The reality is most comment spammers do not check back still this method may serve as a deterrent for other comment spammers. If the comment is blatant spam with no reference to the post being commented on then I simply reject it. Either way I block excessive link leakage by effectively using comment moderation.
