No More Comment Spam Here
For anyone new to Wordpress that isn’t using the Akismet plugin, I have some advice for you: Start using it!
When I first started with Wordpress, I didn’t know what Akismet was. I only knew that you needed an API key, and since I didn’t have one, I just ignored it. Boy was that a bad decision.
I heard about the wonders of Akismet when I was searching for ways to stop all this blog comment spam, so I bit the bullet and started using it. It was extremely easy to get started, and your blog probably has Akismet bundled with it to begin with.
First, get an API key. To do that, just head on over to www.wordpress.com and sign-up for an account. If you only want the API key, you can choose “just a username, please.” Then they will email you your account information, including the API key. (The key is near the bottom of the email.)
Then just go to the “Plugins” tab in your blog and activate Akismet. Enter your API key where necessary.
Like magic, your comment spam will disappear!
Well, it won’t really disappear, but Akismet will hide it so you never have to deal with it. It will save lots of time and will save you from the let down when you get excited about comments which just turn out to be spam 
Since 95% of all blog comments are spam, I recommend installing Akismet right now!
