Spam Karma 2 Askimet Plugin

I have just installed the SK2 Askimet Plugin as I have read here respectively here that there exists a new generation of spambots which will defeat the standard protection by Spam Karma 2.

I can confirm this as I had one spam trackback in my blog this morning. SK2 checked the target URL and it reported that the URL was listed. When I checked it manually the URL was no longer listed so I ran SK2 again and the comment got listed as spam. So the target site must have changed their sourcecode a few seconds after the SK2 check.

To get rid of this type of spam I installed the Askimet SK2 plugin. You need an Wordpress API Key to use the askimet services but you can sign up here to receive a free API key.

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone could help. I did something stupid and started my blog using a numerical archive system, and now I'd like to change it so that the post title is part of the URL for SEO reasons. Is there any WordPress plugins that anyone knows of that could switch it without sending Googlers to invalid pages? Maybe some sort of redirector to the correct page?

Thanks.

The plugin you are probably looking for is called [url=http://fucoder.com/code/permalink-redirect/]Permalink Redirect[/url].

Hope that helps.
