At my site at
http://www.jonathanspencer.net where I have a blog, I originally ran weblog 1.4 module, with open access to commenting and trackback, then I began to get spammed, so I battened down the hatches and eventually had to move over to the excellent WordPress Module which was more secure and use a secure trackback wordpress plugin.
However now, to protect the site, you cannot comment or use trackback unless you are registered, and people have stopped commenting, I encourage people as much as possible to register but they don't....and they have stopped commenting. My site still gets alot of hits but interactivity is at a standstill.
I thought about stopping anonymous users looking at full articles but this also stops Google spidering the articles as i understand it.
What are my options, anyone any suggestions for encouraging registration??
