    If you own a Wordpress website then install these free plugins:
    1. Akismet - It's a great plugin that sorts out spam comments.
    2. Math Comment Spam Protection 3.0 - It successfully eliminates all automatic comment spamming.

    With these two plugins I went from 15 spam comments per day to only 1 spam comment per week.
    I hope it helps!

    Also, if you get a comment that somehow slips through your spam protection then you can check if the comment is located elsewhere on the web simply by copy/pasting it in to Google. If it is located elsewhere it is most likely a manual spammer. =)

    Yes, it is by default that akismet protects your blog from comments. kindly contact your hosting or close the comment option. Because you can not stop manually comments

    The most effective option I have found of reducing comment spam is to have my comments powered by Facebook. None of the bots can post to those comment forms (yet) as they require an associated facebook account that is active and logged in. The other benefit to this is whenever someone makes a comment on a post, it gets posted to their wall as well.

    You can find many online tools or plugins for this task. And you should try word press plugins for it.

    here's what you can do:

    1. find a plugin to filter spam/captcha
    2. make your blog nofollow
    3. disable blog commenting

    Just to stop spam comments you may use Aksimet.It is a very good plugin that may avoid spam comments.
