WordPress, Akismet, and Web-to-Salesforce

July 2, 2008 · Filed Under Configuration, Native Application, salesforce.com 

We use WordPress to run our blog, which we host on a shared server, and we use Akismet to check comments for spam (though the only comments I’ve seen on this blog have been my test comments).

Scott Hemmeter posted a blog entry about using Akismet and PHP to check Web-to-Lead submissions for spam. We are going to start an experiment using Akismet in the following scenarios:

  • Web-to-Lead with Google AdWords enabled
  • Web-to-Case

Sound good? We’ll keep everyone up to speed.

    I’ve been using the code I wrote for about 1 year so far and it’s literally caught 100% of web to lead spam (maybe about 100 records total; lately I’ve been getting 1 – 3 per day) and I’ve never had a false positive. It’s been very good so far.
