After installing the Akismet
plug-in for WordPress or one of
the third party Akismet
implementations, you will need an API
key to activate and use Akismet.
You can get an API key by registering for a WordPress.com user account. The API key will be emailed to you after you register. Please note that use of the key is covered by the Akismet ToS. To enable your Akismet key for commercial use, please select one of the options below.
If you have any feedback, feel free to contact us if anything is unclear or doesn't fit your situation.
You run a personal blog and you've found the secret to making your passion pay. The lines of commercial and non-commercial personal blogs are hard to draw, so we're saying if you're making more than $500/mo from your blog we ask that you use a $5/mo pro-blogger Akismet API key. Get an individual pro-blogger subscription now.
You run blogs as part of a commercial venture (for example a corporate blog or a blog network) and the last thing you need is a Viagra ad in your comments. Having someone sort through the comments manually is costly on several levels. We can make it so you never have to think about spam again, starting at $50/mo. Get an enterprise subscription for your company now.
Our access license is designed to let you use the Akismet API as part of a commercial product you have developed. Get an access subscription now.
We love non-profits. We have half-off and free pricing for registered non-profits, please see the link above.
Today your customers judge and compare you based on your email spam protection, tomorrow it will be your web spam protection. We can provide site-wide keys you can protect all of your customers with for less than you'd pay for a RBL subscription. If you'd like to license Akismet for a large number of customers or refer people to the service, we'd be happy to discuss volume licensing and referral arrangements, drop us a line.
