I have to delete around 30-50 spam list on my other blog. Now, I just lean on Akismet to kill the spams. But I think I should consider the way you suggested here. It's easy and simple way to reduce spam attack. Yeah…spam is getting ridiculous nowadays. I have to delete around 30-50 spam list on my other blog. Now, I just lean on Akismet to kill the spams.

Each day, not sure how many spam(bots) actually trying to put in this and that comment which is totally none related to the post. True, lucky to have Akismet installed.

So, I have the follow tag for the VIP's in my blogroll and that is working good for me. When I get a blogger who is active on my blog and their site is related, I add them manually to the blogroll. I am allowing a total of ten spots and the most active people get the positions. But, they have to go through my screening process. If they become not so active, they can lose their place in the blogroll. So far, it is working and I have people who are active and that contribute to the blog. This has cut my spam down a lot, and I am very happy. I would rather have related traffic, than a bunch of non-related traffic made up mostly of spam.
