Better than Akismet

Like most of us who are new to the world of WordPress, I was feeling my way through the entire system. Since Akismet was the first plugin, which was installed by default. So of course I tried it. I was still in the process of doing test blog entries, when the flood started. I cannot fathom how spammers can locate a blog so early in its development, but they do. It was Akismet’s failure to stop these, that made me look for alternatives. Cleantalk was highly rated, so many people had installed it, and it was reasonably priced. So I tried it. Since installing it, not a single spam account has snuck through. Thus my five star rating.
