Use the plugin Askismet. Which is standard installed with each new Wordpress installation.It does need a key activate, you can get this for free (if you want) on askismet.com
if your website allow people to post in ur site then the best thing is set their post as a draft and check manually by yourself or you can use plugin like hxxp://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-noexternallinks/ to make all external link remove, so even they post spam link, the link will remove by the plugin
Akismet works really well but not always perfect, there might be a better plugin if you look around Good luck!
if the people posting comments means use akismet wordpress plugin, this plugin will protect your wordpress blog from Spammy commenters
Personally, I'd use Solve Media on top of Akismet. It won't stop the spam completely but they pay a teeny tiny amount for every solved Captcha through their system. So you not only cut down the spam but also get a few cents from the bots. Bonus!
In general ways you can: Moderate Comments from First Time Comment Authors Turn Off Trackbacks Turn Off Comments After 30 – 60 Days Now there are some plugins that you can use to reduce spam comments or at least make them easier to spot. Akismet – Akismet is a plugin built into the WordPress system that will filter what it presumes are spam comments into a specific spam folder. To activate it, you will need to sign up for an API key from their website. It is free for personal blogs and anywhere from $5 to $50 a month for non-personal blogs. Keep in mind that you will need to check your spam folder often as some legitimate comments sometimes get mistakenly filtered as spam. You can mark them as not spam and then approve them on your blog. G.A.S.P. – The Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin is a free plugin that allows you to add a simple checkbox captcha to your comment form. Comment authors must check the box to confirm they are human and not using an automated commenting system to submit their comment. This will cut down the amount of automated spam significantly to your blog. CommentLuv – CommentLuv is not a spam-related plugin. It allows comment authors to leave a link to their latest post with their comment. This can be helpful for blog owners to spot non-relevant websites as it will show them the latest post on the comment author’s blog.
Akismet plugin is best. but after installing this plugin must add API key if you not added the API key this plugin will not helps you.
