About Ken McGuireI've been blogging at kenmc.com since 2005. I'm a lover of all things food and digital. I've been running my own design business since 2005. You can find me on Twitter via @kenmcguire.
Installed it on the Blog Awards site only a few months ago. Spams caught: 153,367
Mulley.net has Askimet since June 06, spams stopped: 157,495
Crazy isn’t it? God bless Askimet. I’d happily pay 100 quid a year or more for this service.
Jesus…. 150k+?
Spam count as a measure of blog success?
Writing posts about google and sex and twinks gets a lot of spam bots it seems.
50/50 situation so! I’d happily pay for it myself, have it running across 12 different blogs now I think..
The only problem with my anti-spam techniques is that I don’t get to see how many I’m blocking
