Well, an effective measure would be blocking the IP from which they are leaving all those comments. Each comment has associated with it an IP address, and you can copy/paste that into this function, and then put this function into your themes functions.php file.
$allowed_ips = array(COMMA SEPARATED LIST OF IP's i.e. '123.12.123.12', 123.12.321.12');
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if(!in_array($ip, $allowed_ips)) wp_die('Are you a spammer? Then no soup for you!');
Some people will complain that an IP blacklist is overkill, and you’ll block people that you don’t mean to, but this is just a quick example. Maybe I’ll throw together a plugin.
Are they manually submitted or automated comments? Have you tried Akismet?
Thanks for your replies, I haven’t tried Akismet, I guess one person can not submit same comment on all may pages (entire blog posts) those are automated I guess.
Let me try with blocking IP, I hope it works.

Thanks a lot!
Dear Easel
While I copied the code you posted and uploaded the file the page was showing error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /home/content/s/g/e/sgexpert/html/blog/wp-content/themes/seotheme/functions.php on line 17
Any help!
Were you able to figure this out @seoglobalexpert?
