Akismet is a top de-spamifying for wordpress. So, activate your Akismet plugin immediately. If your site has high traffic, you must need more protection. In addition Akismet, you can use Growmap Anti-Spambot, Sabre, atau WP-reCHAPTCHA.

To anticipate it, you can use Simple Trackback Validation Plugin. This plugin serves to filter incoming trackbacks on your blog. You can create separate filter which websites are allowed to send a trackback on your site.
