6 Anti-Spam Plugins for WordPress
Akismet
Akismet is the default plugin bundled with your WordPress software. When a new comment, trackback, or pingback is posted on your blog, Akismet performs hundreds of tests on it and gives a thumbs up or thumbs down.
WP Spam Free
By Scott Allen | Download
Most of the spambots cannot process javascript and cookies. This plugin takes the advantage of this and uses a dynamic combination of javascript and cookies to separate spambots from humans, preventing 99%+ of automated spam.
Bad Behavior
By error, MarkJaquith, Firas, skeltoac | Download
Bad Behavior analyzes the HTTP headers, IP address, and other meta data sent by the visitor and determines if it is a human or a bot. After all, spammers don’t code their bots very well and if they could code very well, they probably wouldn’t be spammers.
WP Captcha Free
WP CAPTCHA Free blocks spam on your blog by validating a hash based on time (and some other parameters) using AJAX when the comment is posted. Comments posted via bots will not have a correct hash and will be rejected.
WP Clickcha
Clickcha replaces your post comment button with an image based CAPTCHA that requires the user to click the image in a particular area to solve the puzzle. Clicking the image also submits the comment.
WP Hashcash

This plugin verifies the users by a piece of javascript code that indicates that the visitor is a real human being, not a spambot. If the javascript check fails, there are three options – it can either put the comment into moderation (default), put the comment in the akismet queue, or delete it.
Conclusion
There are many plugins which can prevent spam from your blog, though neither of them can provide 100% protection from spam. In this post I have tried my best to highlight the main and best plugins that can prevent spam from your blog. If you feel that any other plugin should have been listed here, feel free to discuss it in the comment’s section below!

On Wednesday, Google added a new feature to its search results called “Quick View” that would enable the users to view formatted PDF files in Google Docs. Earlier, the PDF files could only be viewed in HTML format and also, they lost much of the formatting, but now the users can view the formatted PDF files with graphics, tables, fonts, etc with the help of Google Docs. This feature has been rolled out for more than 50% of the PDF files in Google’s index. “Quick View” link can be viewed in the second line of the search result, below the title.
