    Some tools enable mass commenting and your site was picked up by the tool

    I would recommend that you activate your akismet or uncheck all the options in the discussion settings.

    Are they trying to add links to your comment section?

    You were probably added to an SEO blog comment list...

    Majority of the time, they will add back links to your comment section, trying to benefit their SEO....

    It is a normal thing. I have about 100 spam comments per day. Use akismet or CommentLuv premium plugin.

    Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin is a simple plugin that adds a client side generated checkbox to the comment form requesting that the user clicks it to prove they are not a spammer. Bots wont see it so their spam comment will be discarded. Using that and/or Akismet then all comments should be legit ones.

    Is your blog using Wordpress's sofware and self hosted with own domain name? If yes... you can install Recaptcha plugin for free. The plugin can filter spamming comments effectively. So you just moderate comments which made by human only. You can save a lot of your time.
