    Disabling comments honestly. That helps you keep a loyal readership and not only "manual spammers" coming to get their site's link on your blog.

    I use Akismet as well and it is really great, only real comments are getting to me for approval. I delete SPAM comments from time to time. I can recommend it!

    Akismet is the best spam plugin I've found for Wordpress, although when signing up for an API key it took me ages to realise that it was actually free (they do a good job of drumming up donations, and rightly so!).

    try using cloudflare.com's dns service. Or alternatively try installing comment system like disqus, livefyre etc.

    I have always used Akismet and it does a good enough job, but I just converted a couple of old HTML sites to WordPress and I am trying a new plugin called Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin. It ads a client side checkbox to the comment form requesting that the user clicks it to prove they are not a spammer. It eliminates spam bots from auto commenting. It works very well.

    I also use Akismet, it truely the best for stopping spammers from commenting on your website. Because having any interaction (using comments) with your customers is important in this world of web interactive sites. It helps with the whole customer experience. Definitely a must have!!! Good luck :D
