How do I prevent unwanted comments in the Guest Book in FP Web?

[Mrs. Mini]

I have created a Guest Book for people to supply comments for the business
and website. I keep having to delete "SPAM" from inappropriate sponsors who
link their websites to mine through the Guest Book.

Does anyone have any solutions for this?

2 ways to stop it.

1. Make all post come to you for edit before going to the guest book

2. Delete the guest book.

I did as Tom wrote in 1. I received alot of spam as well for awhile. You can
view on my webpage how I handle the guestbook currently.

I also added this meta data so search engines do NOT index the pages.

If you don't want to manually add the comments and want it to be automatic.
Try this:

Change the location of the guestbook and add this metadata to the guestbook
pages

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX">
<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOINDEX,FOLLOW">

If you get spam do as Tom says.
