Guest book spam

    Is it just my website or has anyone else noticed an increase in the amount of spam being left in their guest books? I delete these entries as soon as I see them but I'm very concerned about the last entry which was advertising a porn site. I get children visiting my site and I want it to be as safe as possible.

    I tend to have a couple of spam in my guest book too, but I just delete them away if I know they are spams. Anyway, I'm lucky not to get so many spams.

    I found that I got tired of monitoring and deleting the SPAM from my guest books so I basically removed them all from my websites.

    I bought a business info website and didn't see the guestbook, it was spammed over 300K times by the time I noticed it.

    Hi Trisha, I love my guestbook and I was getting quite a bit of spam as well, I now approve the entries, which I don't particularly care for, but.....I get to keep my guestbook and some of the great comments people write.

    I don't have a guestbook. Just way too much spam for me to handle.
