As I mentioned before; I really recommend using the Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin. It adds a little checkbox that needs to be checked in order to submit a comment that a bot cannot detect. Once I added it on my sites; my comment spam has gone down to zero.
If you’re running wordpress there is nothing better than the Akismet plugin. It is free for non-commercial use. It is like 99.9% right with very, very few false positives.

You are correct. Growmap worked perfectly so far.
It was getting ridiculous. I had 50+ spam comments per day.

No, I’m still getting spam, albeit less. I’m going to try other things also.

However, if I put ads on my blog, then I need to pay for Akismet, $5/month. That rules out Akismet.
It would be stupid for me to make $4/month from ads and then pay $5/month for Akismet.
I’m planning to put ads up soon. I’m waiting to build up my website a little more. Also, with a new job, I have less blogging time.
