It's amazing the amount of comment spam sites receive. I mean, you open yourself up to readers of your blog or site and you expose yourself to bots plying the web to check what forms they could post ads on. It's not comforting either that its so common to see one URL being posted over and over again by different spam bots. It just means that spammers are out to get us. Good thing I've got comment moderation turned on on my blog. Otherwise legit readers would be bothered by the sheer volume

I know what you mean! I've been spammed so much in the past few days, it's so annoying.
One of the best methods I've found for filter out the comment spam is to block invalid user agents from my site, generally the robots that are coming across your site to spam it will be using an agent that's just wrong. It's not perfect however.
