    Please post an active link starting with http:// to the blog in question.

    Also know that the vast and overwhelming amount of information on the interent is actually spam. It’s either robot spam or spam created by humans hired to create it. There is no such thing as eliminating all spam. However, Akismet is an excellent spam filter.

    Each time a new comment, trackback, or pingback is added to your site it’s submitted to the Akismet web service which runs hundreds of tests on the comment and returns a thumbs up or thumbs down. As a result, you don’t have to waste your time sorting through and deleting spammy comments from your blog. … So if you notice a comment in your spam folder from someone you don’t know, or linking to a web site you’ve never seen before, take a good look at it before you hit the Unspam button: in all likelihood, Akismet put it there for a reason.
