  I’m getting “likes” from accounts that either don’t have a wordpress account or are spam accounts that have blogs about losing weight/ getting more blog followers. I am getting more each day and cannot get an accurate assessment of who is actually reading my posts. The users I am dealing with are: http://en.gravatar.com/florencem1212 , http://en.gravatar.com/nookdee66 , http://en.gravatar.com/naomii88 and http://en.gravatar.com/lovebee3 and http://en.gravatar.com/normanallom12 and http://en.gravatar.com/smarina059
  My wordpress site is: idlikearedo.com
  I know since these are not wordpress accounts there’s a limit to what you can do but I’m just wondering if there are any options or ways I can discourage this from happening. Please let me know anything that might help.
  Thanks so much

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  If those users have WordPress.com blogs that contain spam content, please report their blogs following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/report-blogs/

  Although you can’t stop selected users from Liking your posts, you can remove the Like button from your blog or from specific posts on your blog. You can find out more about these options here: Likes
