If you are using custom made theme or buying from trusted site then there is no need of Tac plugin.It is necessary for those who uses nulled or pirated themes.
Btw nice recommendation.
i agree ankit but still its better to use TAC as it free plus giving free protection!
I am not sure about akismet being free nowadays. Before, when you signed up an account on wordpress dot com, you will automatically get a free Akismet code. But now there’s no free Akismet code anymore. And when you go to akismet dot com, there’s a pricing plan. Is it still free?
yeah its still free and i think always be, just need to signup at akismet.com,easy!!
Great Post, I love the Theme Authenticity Checker Plugin its really nice.
Am using FV Antispam plugin instead of Akismet on my blog and its doing a great job.
Akismet and TAC is now a days making good hive to peoples!
