All blogs get spam. The spam filter here, Akismet, usually catches most of it, but for the ones it doesn’t catch, you can ‘train’ it to function better by marking those comments that get through as spam, using the link below each on the comment admin page.
An alternative is to turn on comment moderation. If you like comments to go straight through to your blog, you can turn on a version in which only the first new comment is moderated, after that once a comment has been cleared by you, all other comments from that commenter are posted automatically.

If it is that the spam filter is no longer catching spam, you might want to contact Akismet direct:
