reCAPTURA – Does it scare bloggers away?

Author: webmaster

21 Nov

reCAPTURA is a plugin that forces users to enter a word or words into a text field before allowing them to post a comment or provide feedback.Â While not having much experience with this plugin, my initial thoughts are that some blog visitors may be scared away or would not leave feedback because of the added steps in completing the task.

The positive side of this plugin is that it will eliminate almost all of your spam message. We can all relate to the amount of crazy individuals that post crap to our blogs simply trying to feed off of our traffic.

Please share your experience and your thoughts on reCAPTURA.Â I am reluctant to add this to my blog as I dont want to ask bloggers to do one more thing. Like we dont have enough to do already.

Share and Enjoy:

Well, if I could only add this to ONE of my blog posts, it would be great.
I almost only get spam on one of my blog posts, and it’s about dofollow – Which is probably what automatic software searches for when they are out, hunting for blogs to spam.

Other than that, I don’t feel it’s needed at my part.

Is it the same thing as captcha? I have no plbm with verification to stop spam but sometimes, the words from captcha is really hard to read (what with the curvy words and the strikethrough line) and I have to re-enter the words alot of times before i could get it right which is plain annoying. In the end, I totally gave up commenting.
