Akismet spam used to work well, but it has failed me a lot recently. Perhaps it is time to upgrade. Edit: Upgraded. Hope it works. I haven’t tried it, but I will look into it.

I literally haven't seen a single spam comment / trackback / pingback since I've installed it. It takes a multi-pronged approach that utilizes javascript payloads, page load timers, content parsers and all sorts of other hoodaddies to assigna karma point value to each comment. If the point value exceeds your threshold, it's toast. Hiighly recommended. If you aren’t running it yet, it may do ya well to check out Spam Karma 2 for Wordpress.

I hadn't seen trackback spam before, but with the advent of the rel="nofollow" attribute, I can see how they would want to try new realms. Though less blogs put trackbacks on the page, the ones that do seldome implement nofollow. Now what I would like to understand is this stupid referrer spam! It is icky.
