Go trick. When I first started up my blog those were the first settings I looked in to. Right now a good 19/20 comments are still generic spams, but it’s those rare nice comments that inspire you to keep going.

One additional easy tip is to Google a portion of any comment you get. Chances are, if it is generic spam, then it will be repeated hundreds of times in multiple places, verbatim or nearly word-for-word with slight modifications (Yeah, spam bots even change up their wording slightly every couple hundred posts!)

Great information about spam comment filtration. Your work is greatly appreciated. I have already made my comment settings to rel=”nofollow” to avoid any spam outbound links from my webpage.

Thanks a lot for very useful post. But I had trouble navigating through your web site because I kept getting 502 bad gateway error. Just thought to let you know.

Isn’t the link in the WordPress comment has rel=”nofollow” attached to it by default though?
