I just received an interesting e-mail from one of my blog subscribers. Here's what the e-mail said:
"David, I just put my brand new website online, and I'm already being besieged by spammers. How did they find out about my website so quickly?"
Here's what I told my subscriber:
"Professional spammers scour the Internet, looking for new domain registrations. Here's how to counter their activities: After registering a new domain, wait a few weeks before putting your website online.
Is this techique 100% foolproof? No, but I can tell you from personal experience, it will drastically reduce the amount of spam your new website receives.
Sure, the spammers will catch up with you eventually. After all, they're relentless. But at least you'll buy yourself a little time before they do."
By the way, I'll be launching my new website this summer. It's called Reviews-by-Customers.com. It will feature "real" customer reviews of top online hosting, website design, ISP, SEO services and more! Follow me on Twitter @CustomerReviews for further updates.

That's an interesting theory. I wonder if it works in regards to blogs as well? I find the amount of blog spammers to be so frustrating! Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try :D
Yep, it works just as well with blogs.
