New to the blogosphere. In the spam folder of my wordpress blog, I received several comments. Should they just be deleted? Or should they be kept because its traffic? Some of them I can tell are spammers, but others (i.e. ones with foreign websites) are harder to tell, what are your tricks?

Its a personal opinion, but I find them useless and frustrating, so when I know 100% that it’s spam, I usually delete them and block them (if I can). Spam is spam, its not valuable traffic or comments…
Hope this helps!
