More Spam

My host is really getting to me. Since I last wrote, I had 15 more spam comments. Ugh! One of the reasons I left my old host was to speed things up and eliminate spam. They all have the same user-agent, however, since I can’t look at the access logs, I can’t actually block them. They have a bunch of different IPs, so I can’t just block them.

But the rush of spam posters has artifically increased my blog traffic by 61% versus the past 5 days. I’m assuming a large percentage of that is due to spam postings.

As Kaitlyn pointed out, I’m getting a few of my hits from her site. Which is cool, I guess. Also interesting, is the percentage of firefox users have gone down. The past 6 days have seen 50% firefox, and 50% IE, while the 4 days before that saw over 53% Firefox, and 45% IE. The past 3 days have seen a 60% IE traffic, and 40% IE. Overall, FIrefox has the most with 52.12%, IE with 46.74%, and Opera with a mere 1.09%.
