Marketing for Attorneys with Less Blog Spam

The bane of marketing for attorneys through blogging is blog spam.  Before installing Akismet on this blog, I had approximately 573 "spam" comments awaiting moderation.  After installing Akismet, I was able to get rid of that spam almost instantaneously.  My understanding is that about 99% of my spam problem is now gone due to Akismet.  If you have activated the "comments" feature on your blog, I recommend Akismet or some similar service.
