A guestbook is a program that allows users to post a comment
on your website. Unlike blogs, they don't require user registration.
Users are allowed to simply enter the basic details such as their
name, email and a comment in order to leave a post.
A guestbook allows users to leave feedback regarding your site which
could be a positive remark or simply a question or concern. This is
a great method for getting feedback on your website that may expose
areas on your website that need improvement.
Popularity Of Guestbooks
The popularity of guestbooks has drastically declined in recent
years especially with the rise of blogs. One area of concern with
guestbooks is the ability to spam a guestbook.
Since there isn't a registration process, it's open game for
spammers to leave messages from Viagra and casinos to porn related
comments.

that a some of the free guestbook software out there has
put measures in place to reduce spam and allow you to
customize the guestbook to fit theme of your website. A
couple that I located can be found at

of fighting spam comments.
