Akismet blog

Every month, over nine million websites use Akismet to stop spam.

The vast majority of those nine million sites are personal sites that get to use Akismet for free. But for the rest, we ask companies and people that make significant income from their sites to pay for Akismet. Many of these company sites and blogs are built by third-party developers or designers.

We want to help developers to encourage their customers to reduce spam. So we’re launching a Partner Program that rewards developers when their clients sign up for an Akismet subscription.

The Partner Program is currently by application only:  if you’re interested you’ll find more information and an application form at akismet.com/partners.
