Kelly, you can handled those assholes in a number of ways. I usually just delete the spam and not publish it. You can flag it as spam if you want and maybe – maybe – Akismet, or what spam blocker you use, will catch it next time. Or, you can approve it if you think there is a good reason to.

Some of those asshole trackbackers want your traffic to click on their AdSense ads or visit their other websites. I usually just delete those guys. But some of them want your content because they just want to use it to help their own blog rise in the rankings for certain keywords. If I like the other links on their blog and I think their keywords will help my blog post then I might approve it. It’s your call.

Bloghology, that’s a good example of decent comment spam. Thank you for dropping in.

Good post there Nick! I’ve had quite a number of spams you mentioned. What do you do with trackbacks left by “Asshole Trackbacking Commenters”? Should I even delete that kind of trackback? What do you think? Would love to have your advise. Thank you Nick!
