  When you mark them as spam Akismet learns they are spam and that takes time.

  Spammers all the time are changing tactics to try and get past the spam filters and when they change, the spam filters have to adjust to catch up with them and we all help by marking them as spam. This is a continuous game of leapfrog that is played. From my experience over the past couple months, the spammers are working overtime changing things up in hopes of getting around the filters.
