How To Get Akismet API Key Video- Best viewed in HD Full Size.

Akismet is a spam protection plugin and probably the first plugin every WordPress user activates. It monitors all the WordPress comments in real time and marks and moves spam comments automatically. You can then go and move all the spam comments to trash at once. This saves a lot of time in WordPress comment moderation.

Akismet comes bundled with WordPress. So you just need to activate it. But it will NOT start working automatically after you activate it.

Note: If you used a non standard WordPress installation, then you may not get Akismet plugin automatically with it. You can manually download Akismet and install it.

Once you activate it, a message will be displayed on the dashboard that says that you need to get Akismet API Key and put it in the Plugins > Akismet Configuration page.

• On the Akismet API key signup page, select the appropriate plan. Assuming that you are a blogger and you need a free Akismet API Key, click on ‘Personal’ plan.

• On the next screen, click on Sign up with WordPress.com and complete the signup procedure to get a WordPress.com account for an Akismet API key.

That’s it! Now Akismet will start working automatically immediately.

Remember to keep that email safe. You might need that API key to verify Akismet on other Wordpress blogs as well.
