In addition, zillions of website got penalty for comment spam. There are many good blog which isn't visible in search engine because of comment spam.

In primary stage Blogger think they are doing well by leaving their Blog link on other's blog but this is very bad for long term ranking. Because if a Blogger leave their Blog hidden link on other's Blog comment section then comment readers may feel interest to visit that Blog. but Google treat this kinds of link as spam. As a result anytime they can get Penalty from Google. And Google Blogger user can lose their Blog or get disable their AdSense account anytime without any prior notification.

Now WordPress use may think Google can't do anything but they aren't aware that their Blog position dropping on search engine result page SERP. Generally a visitors click on content link that appear first page from search engine. but due to comment spam their WordPress user's content link may appear at 10th page of search link where visitors merely go there. That means your Blog will get negative SEO rank.

No Spam for Better Blog! , so this is the most secured way to fight against spammer.
