    akismet is one of best method to prevent spam.
    there are many plugins that you can install in your blog. To me i am using math plugins.

    I get hit with 100's of comment spams a week and the spam mod that is built into WP works great for stopping 99% of it.

    Activate akismet and they will never bother you again.

    Yeah, I was getting that one as well. Not sure what they got out of it cuz they actually used Google's URL.

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I just activated askimet, so we'll see what happens. :)
