Your Spammer Mousetrap
Your Spammer Mousetrap
Hey! In my last post, we uncovered the relationship between email spam and comment spam. Then, we talked about what machines spam comes from. At the end, we pulled out the big guns — so you can now, without effort, touch the spam blocking power of Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft.

Today, we’re going back to the basics. Not the onerous, time-consuming money-sinking basics. Basics that are simple and just plain work.
Spammers Are Like Mice
I’m sure you’re familiar with the concept of a mouse trap. You get a trap, place the bait, and set the trap. Mouse sees bait, mouse walks into trap, mouse gets caught.
It’s a very simple concept. What you might not know is that it’s very easy to apply the same concept to catch spambots. Nobody thinks about it this way because spambots are seen as unstoppable, adaptive artificial intelligence machines.
Some can’t wrap their heads around how spambots verify email addresses, solve captchas, and bypass other anti-spam mechanisms — almost like they were human. In reality, this is not how spambots are.
Spambots Are Stupid
Truth is, spambots aren’t very intelligent at all. Most mice are more intelligent the average spambot. Spambots are simply programs. Programs by themselves can’t analyze or adapt to changes — they simply do what the programmer has told them to do.
Someone human has to program these spambots, and there are practical limits on what spambots can be made to do. If the programmer doesn’t know something about an anti-spam mechanism then the program is powerless to skip around it.
Many are amazed to learn that spambot browsers can’t do most things a human’s browser like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer can. If we simply test the browser’s capabilities in the background, we can easily separate robots from humans.
This test is our mouse trap. Since spambot browsers don’t do some things a human one can, then it’s easy to separate humans from robots. In combination with the three previous techniques (country blocking, timer, and global block lists), this the final nail in the coffin for spam. These solutions are collectively called WP Spam Hammer.
What If..?
You might be wondering what happens if someone tries to reverse engineer spam hammer. Most anti-spam plugins suffer from this weakness. Spammers just take a copy of the anti-spam plugin, take it apart, and program their bots to evade it.
Spam Hammer — the plugin you’re using — is immune to this. It runs on my remote software service and all of the spam prevention code is on another server, safe from reverse-engineering by spammers. The bandwidth usage, storage space, and processing power for these anti-spam solutions are all provided by my servers.
Now that the mousetrap is ready, you can upgrade the plugin again — go to “Spam Hammer” under “Dashboard” > “Settings”, tick the upgrade box, and save.
A Lasting Solution
As we address the past, present, and future — not just one or two of those — protection from spam is explosively better. We take care of the present with country blocking, a timer, and the mouse trap. With priority global block lists in use by the web’s giants, we take care of past spammers. With constant never-ending improvement without immediate interference from reverse engineers, we have an eye to the future.
If you use something that must work around the clock, someone needs to be there when something goes wrong. With free plugins, it’s at the developer’s discretion to provide support when and to who they want, if support is given at all. Developers of such free plugins typically abandon them after a while, as it’s a time and resource drain for them.
In such cases, at the end of the day, everybody loses. Providing support takes away time and energy that is otherwise spent innovating plugins. If you’re not satisfied with a free plugin, it’s not as if you can return it. As such, Spam Hammer is a premium/non-free plugin. I’d rather stick to what I do best while my support team — which grows with more support from bloggers like you — handles that.
Try it Risk-Free for 7 days – $1
I know you’ll enjoy the results you get from Spam Hammer 3-Series, and I’ll put my money on that. You can use the plugin for another week — for just $1 — I take the risk, and there is zero to you. As before, I give you every feature, no restrictions.
[ ]
You remit an initial amount of $1. If after 7 days you don’t cancel, you’ll remit $37 immediately for the first month of protection.
Bonus #1: 50% Off Your Monthly License: $17 $9
I am extending a 50% discount on the monthly protection amount. This 50% off discount is yours for a lifetime once you take it, but the discount is only available for a limited time. After that discount window closes without being taken, the monthly amount becomes $17.
Bonus #2: The Web is a Scary Place
The web is a scary place. If you haven’t been reading the news, two of the world’s most popular WordPress Plugins, W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache were revealed to have a MASSIVE security hole — and these two plugins alone affect up to 7.3 million blogs. What’s scarier is that up to 90% of those blogs don’t even know they are infected or vulnerable.
More recently, there have been several exploits of the trust users have for WordPress.org plugins, and infections are taking place on a MASSIVE scale. You certainly don’t want your blog’s server to be one of those hijacked to send email spam and infect visitors’ PC’s. I’ve put together a package of installable security essentials for WordPress — to protect your blog and readers. Normally a value of $37, with Spam Hammer, this is yours for free.
Bonus #3: Your Readers Hate Slow Blogs
Most bloggers don’t know that the software and hardware their blog runs on isn’t working as intended. Some upgrade their server hardware to a much more powerful and expensive setup, but performance remains the same, or even slower than before! With sluggish loading times and the common crash, you may have the gut feeling that things should not be this way — but don’t know how to deal the issue yourself.
Up to 5% of bloggers employ these techniques — the other 95% lose out. I put together an optimization guide for the 95% who aren’t getting the most bang for their buck. It informs you on where where the juiciest optimizations and performance gains are and unraveling what seems to be a paradox — more speed for less money.
The concepts taught in this primer have been used to save webmasters thousands of dollars a year in hard cash — otherwise spent on hosting fees. This guide has a value of $97, but with Spam Hammer, it’s yours for no additional cost.
No-questions-asked, 60-day 100% Money-back Guarantee
I don’t consider your acquisition of Spam Hammer binding or committed on your part until after you follow the directions I provide and carefully monitor progress towards your goal. If at any point in the 60 days after acquiring this plugin, you can’t honestly affirm that you get no spam, that you are free of a big burden, that you spend no time on the computer moderating comments, I don’t feel like I deserve to keep your money. You can even keep the bonuses free for your troubles.
Bonus Countdown
After this timer is up, the bonuses are no longer available. You’ll be receiving spam hammer by itself with no discounts.
