    turn off posting or
    install anti - spam plugin,
    check which users have administrator rule
    change password

    i don't think your wp site is hacked , it's possible spam advertising by bot programs

    Are you using any auto posting plugin like WP-ROBOT? That might be the culprit. Check your plugins.

    Without checking, I can not say who is the culprit. Could you post all of your plugins name here?

    When you look in the admin, who are the spam posts assigned to as author? If they have your name then it means somehow your site has been hacked and someone or a bot is logging in with your account and posting these spam posts. In this case my first recommendation would be to look at your server logs and see if there's any suspicious activity. Change your account password to something very secure or even create a new admin account and delete the old one. Check to see if you're using any insecure plugins, and make sure also your version of Wordpress is up to date as using older versions makes it easier for your site to be hacked.

    This is my way. There are two steps to do:
    Step 1:
    - Install Capcha code Plug-in
    - Install Antispam Plug-in
    Step 2:
    - Teach your antispam recognize which is spam which is not.
    - Always keep an eye at your wordpress

    I can have a good control with spam and antispam.
