Hi kennnyb thanks for following me. Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. Have a blessed day.

I am using Antispam Bee and it works good

This works better: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/antispam-bee

I have to admit I was rather worried about Akismet's definition of commercial.

Thanks for posting this question, we all now have an answer! :)
I have one site that did the same thing and I have been looking for an alternative.

Antispam Bee for me too Kenny, works better than Akismet too. :)

Thank you Kathy I will certainly give it a try

I also use Anti-spam bee have had no problems with it

They tried to get money from me too even though I used the slider and set it to 0. I now use Anti-spam bee works well and I have now issues using this great plugin.

Erm, I thought the money thing was just a donation request :/

I created my two sites here as per the instructions in the lessons One to which I selected the slider to $0 as per instructions.

I still don't use and the other is the one I use to promote WA like most other people.

This I blog I did towards the beginning when I started.

Me too

Anti-spam bee is really good. I use Anti-spam bee instead of kismet

How do you install Anti-spam bee?

Akismet is free. The premium version is not needed, though.

I just tried it and they want money now

Once you have activated the plugin you can ignore the banner. The plugin will still work

They want money for the API key

Go to this link
http://akismet.com/plans/
And you will see this (view attached image) and choose the personal plan. Sign up and there should be a sliding bar where you can choose your own price. Slide it to zero and you should be all set. Or try this also

another free plug-in from wordpress

Hi Kenny. Like you, I have multiple sites and the API key is the same for all of them. Maybe you can copy and paste your API from one of your sites onto the next. All my accounts are free. I hope that helps.

it all free

me too - also used the same key on multiple sites without applying - hope this still works and we don't get pursued like some comments seem to suggest.

I just installed the API key few days ago... It is free... You have to search inside the website and shift the slider to 0 dollars. Hope it helps.
