    I use WordPress because it has some excellent anti-spam plugins. I listed the ones that I use here:

    22 Best Must Have WordPress 3 Plugins

    I still might get some spam but very, very little.

    If you are using Blogger. Go to Settings-->comments-->scroll down look for the word
    Comment moderation ,turn it on always

    or if u really wana block spammers
    go to
    Who Can Comment?
    and set it to "Only members of this blog"

    If you're on WordPress then the best way to combat spam is Akismet + WP Spam Free.
