I get some backlinks from wordpress blog comments. I post every comment carefully, but some blogs may consider me as spam. I can not post comments in other blogs. How to escape from Akismet Spam database? Thanks.
I use wordpress a lot and i have seen that akismet is not that smart that its able to detect spam by itself everytime.So its usually users flagging ips and comments. So next to to escape from Akismet's radar u need to write atleast sensible comments which are not filled with any links or anything...
it may be due to your niche. there has been insane amount of spams on some niche for which some keywords related to those niche have been reported to akismet. if you try to submit comment on an akismet activated blog with any one of those keywords, it will be identified as spam by akismet
I have changed IP. When I posted my URL in the comment, it will be blocked. It's actually interesting.
I assume this also applies to keywords IN the URL, right? Yeah 'cause the URL is being blocked. By the way it is not enough to change only your IP address, I delete all the cache / cookies all the time, who knows.. I have noticed this is a 2 years old thread but since I got the same issue now some update would really help - @rainmist, did you manage yourself to get rid of the Akismet Spam flag? Cheers
hi i think there are some terms and conditions to be follow before make forum ,if you do not obey and give URL in the comment no doubt it will block.
I think it's hard to dodge akismet ban, i tried to email them a few weeks ago and still got no reply. From now i will be very careful in blog commenting, not too much, probably 2 - 3 times maximum per day with different keywords, comments, and urls.
