   I am having a problem with my site. Every 10-20 minutes I get a spam comment from one of the pages on my site. The tricky thing is, there is no comment include tag anywhere in the code.

   The code for page.php is below:

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   <div class="text">
   <?php the_content('Read the rest of this page &raquo;'); ?>
   </div>
   </div>
   
   <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
   
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   
   <?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Can anyone help me?

   thats not spam, thats a pingback -- your linking to your posts or pages inside other posts

   Could you please explain further? I'm not sure I quite understand. I stated that I've received emails from outside entities advertising drugs and so forth via pages on my site. As far as I know, I'm not linking from any posts or pages from other posts.

   For example, here's a copy of an email I received when I got a new comment (I have put asterisks in the URLs of the links so no trackbacking can be done):

   Use an anti-spam plugin. Or two.
   (search for trackback spam to learn more)

   Do as Moshu suggested .. and please next time, explain yourself yourself a little better.

   In your second post above you said this:

   I stated that I've received emails from outside entities advertising drugs and so forth via pages on my site.

   Nothing in your first post sounds like that.

   Have a nice day.
