93% of blog comments are spam

Tim Finin, 1:00pm 6 July 2006

Akismet has an interesting stats page that shows a graph of ham and spam comments since Akismet started back in October 2005. It shows that about 93% of all blog comments are spam. Akismet is doing a great job for us. I’ve never seen a false positive and only about 0.2% false negatives.
