Approving comments on my WordPress site?

[Peter Nikolow]

Yes - it's good to approve comments on WordPress sites because there are lot of bots these days. All of them trying to put spammy links or low quality text with anchor links, etc. Of course all this links lead to sites as "cheap viagra", "Louis Vuitton bags", "The Sims FreePlay Hack Download", etc.

On mine own site i clean over 100 spammy comments daily. That's why i install custom plugin for catching spammers.

If you don't wish to install plugins you can learn about social plugins about comments - Facebook and G+ have this already. Using this you beat spammers because they need to have account on these social networks. Hidden benefit is also you sent to search engines strong social signals.
