What is a css hack? Wordpress Blog Spam Comments!

I have been getting so many Wordpress blog spam comments and loads of them the reason given is “CSS Hack”.

So I would firstly like to know (in very simple terms) what is a CSS hack?

Then the other thing I have noticed with these Wordpress spam comments is that they are mostly coming in on one old blog post that is not even ranking so what exactly is happening here?

Has some comment spam tool somehow gotten hold of that one link of mine and now people are just throwing their spam there?

Maybe I sound stupid but I have no idea how comment spam tools work!

Please can someone explain to me what is happening and how can I perhaps stop these spam comments coming in?

Well, your blog is probably listed somewhere as accepting comments and most of the spammers use automated bots to send thousands of comments each day, all around internet...

Instead of explaining it in details, you can do few things to stop or reduce this drastically by using some Wordpress plugins or use third party comment system on your blog, like facebook comments or Disqus!

To choose right WP plugin to reduce spam you can search https://wordpress.org/plugins/ for firewall or stop spam, so you will get better idea what to use ;)

Switching of your own comment system and enabling Disqus may be good idea because:

• Comments indexable by search engines (SEO-friendly)
  
• Support for importing existing comments
  
• Auto-sync (backup) of comments with Disqus and WordPress database

Thank you Abid, yes I have heard of Disqus before but because it showed such a low rating (3.2 out of 5 stars) I didn't give it a go.

I highly respect the advice that you and Mike give, so I will check it out. Thank you for your help, it is always appreciated!
