Stop Comment Spam and Trackback Spam « Akismet

We can’t stand spam.

Who can? You have better things to do with your life than deal with the underbelly of the internet. Automattic Kismet (Akismet for short) is a collaborative effort to make comment and trackback spam a non-issue and restore innocence to blogging, so you never have to worry about spam again.

Akismet is free for personal use.

In the spirit of helping the blogosphere as much as possible, we've decided to make Akismet free for as many people as possible. We have free API keys available for your personal blog.

Commercial Use

We still need to keep the lights on and the servers humming though. If you are making "mad paper" from your blog (more than $500 a month) or if you're a Big Company we have commercial API keys available just for you.

Here’s what a few people had to say about Akismet.

Before Akismet I was spending more time deleting spam than creating content. Now I can focus on actually blogging!

— Sarah King

Akismet takes the wheels off the comment-spam gravy train.

Rich Boakes

I think Akismet is the best automated spam killer that actually gets better as it learns from the whole community marking new spam comments as spam. It just WORKS.

Vinny Carpenter

This plug-in produces "The Silence of the Spams" without making legitimate commentators jump through hoops.  I love it!
