Have you ever wondered what on earth is…
Have you ever wondered what on earth is CleanTalk and asked yourself: How does it work? Well, let me try and explain what I found. The sequence of events that will follow: You get a visitor coming to your site/blog and they want to leave a comment or sign up to your blog (yeah lucky you!). Once this happens then this fantastic and awesome plugin, called CleanTalk will kick into action and do its thing and send a notification to the CleanTalk cloud to check out your visitor and analyze all relevant parameters to make sure that its a human visitor, not a spam bot. If you received a visit from a nice human, his or her comment will be published and all good. Should you have the bad luck and get a spam bot checking in this clever and amazing system will stop and block the comment and stop all spam dead in their tracks. I did get a lot, and I mean a lot of spam, and they stop all types of spam. It is only $8USD per year with a 7-day free trial period. Another plus factor about CleanTalk, you do not need a Recaptcha (let me tell you, I am not keen on it, so maybe your visitors feel the same), so yeah, no Captcha, no questions, puzzles, or quiz, CleanTalk just get to work and that’s it. Blocking by Country is just one of many features available in the CleanTalk plugin. If you block any country, other options will continue to work properly. I checked and most of the spam for last week came from the Russian Federation, at 23% of the overall traffic, so I can should I choose to do it, block all traffic from the Russian Federation. Another neat perk to my mind, when you sign up you can have CleanTalk check your system and comments retro and it will give you a list of past spam comments. Another plus for me, CleanTalk also protects your site from rude and abusive words and foul language with cursing and hate speech and will send those comments to spam.
