You can set your posts to be moderated and nothing will show up on your blog unless you give it the thumbs up. I do this will all my websites and blogs so that I can catch any crappy posts with hundreds of links in it that are obviously spam. I also do this with all my writers just in case they get their accounts hacked into and a bunch of spam posts start popping up.

Putting posts into moderation will help you fight spam. You may have to sift through a bunch of crap if you get hit with a few pieces of software just automating posts, but it's worth it in the long run because your blog will stay looking professional and no one will even know there are people and software posting spam in attempts to get higher rankings in the SERPs.

Basically you'll need to block the IPs via IP blocker in your website hosting account, or by .htaccess files. There is numerous list of spam IP addresses, and you can also block those crawlers, and other bots with this method as well.

Here's an example using a .htaccess file:

Options All -Indexes

RewriteEngine on

Thank you for posting the information on how to block the IP address of a spamming commenter on blogs. I had experience in blocking a user in forums but not in blogs yet. But I know there is a way to block the user and here it is above. When the comment undergoes moderation then that is a good safeguard against spamming because we have to deal with the fact that spammers are always there, lurking and waiting for an opportunity to post their intention.

WOW! I've never heard of "ghost comments" and based on the comments this sound like a headache!

I don't think it's worth the time or trouble to ghost comments. It's not like showing the comment just to them has much of an effect anyway--most of them won't even notice. As the others have mentioned you can moderate comments and/or block IPs. But if you have a less busy blog you can also just review comments by email and delete spammy ones. That way your real commenters don't have to wait for moderation but spam also doesn't stay up for long.
