views on my blog do not show
-
Hi,
I’ve been trying to contact wordpress via support link, but it never seems to work. My problem is, I get about 10 comments/day and wordpress shows no views at all on my blog. I find it quite strange that although I get comments, wordpress shows no views. Has anyone had this technical problem before? Or, maybe the worpress team is reading this and can do something about it??!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I have the reason! All the comments posted on your blog posts(ex. http://oldcreedsnewhorizons.wordpress.com/2011/07/24/norway’s-tragedy-–-an-indication-of-eu’s-tragic-leadership/) are spam. And ‘Akismet’ catches them. Those are not made by human, but bots.
-
Hmm… let’s say that half, or ever two thirds are “made by bots”, but there is a number of them that are certainly not made by bots, but by humans – the content is too obvious.

@wpgaurav: Good cach!
@oldcreedsnewhorizons: The more you leave those bogus comments there, the more of them you’ll keep getting, as most of them are generated by the same bots. You need to go to Comments in your dashboard sidebar and remove them. To help both yourself and others, don’t click the Trash tab, click the Spam tab.

(“cach” was supposed to be “catch”)
@oldcreedsnewhorizons: In the post that wpgaurav linked to, all the comments are spam. Notice that none of them says anything that would require having actually read the post, most of them could have been posted under any post (the rest simply mention the title of the post – easy for bots to do), and several of them are the same ready-made text repeated with different bogus usernames.

Well, if “none of them says anything that would require having actually read the post”, what about this one – “Excellent article and easy to fully understand explanation. How do I go about getting permission to post component of the page in my upcoming newsletter? Giving proper credit to you the author and link to the site would not be a problem.” – there is no title of post in it, and it is not repeated under several names. So, if a post comes up twice or mentions the name of the article, it might make sense to be bogus, but… this one is different, as well as several others.

“Excellent article and easy to fully understand explanation. How do I go about getting permission to post component of the page in my upcoming newsletter? Giving
proper credit to you the author and link to the site would not be a problem.”The same type of comments (note, always not the same because those are randomly generated), I have found 2500+ and @panos probably more than 20000.
They just catch your ‘tags’ and generate a full comment.
Try focusing on their emails and websites. Do you not think those are odd? -
Generic text that could have been posted under any post whatsoever. The only purpose of such comments is to plant their link in your blog.

Correction:
Here ‘tags’ means ‘words’ in your posts.
Some common spam comments are:“Excellent! :) It’s worth reading. I couldn’t found your RSS Feed. ….Loan Proposal for your good writing…”
“I’ve linked you. You should also link me.”
“Good Post! I was searching for it.”
“…viagra..sell…bye”etc.
[Excuse me moderator, if it spoils the forums, but I think it does not.] -
Thanks much guys! I did think their email addresses were odd and even tried to email back to one and… didn’t work. Thank for your taking time to explain all this. I appreciate it!
