I think if people blatantly advertise, for example by putting in their name as ‘Cheap Vi agra’ that is a spam post, even if their comment was relevant and to the point. And also if I don’t want a reader to click on that link then the comment would have to go.

I don’t see the value in these mass commenting as whoever is marketing this way will probably just end up getting their site sandboxed anyway.

Thanks all

If you follow Andy Beards pingback above, he makes some good points on how paid comments can be a good thing depending on how it’s done. That’s true as the same can be said about paid posts.

The problem I say with low value services like the one I’ve written about is that it can spoil the party for everyone – it can spread paranoia, and make people begin to question the comments they receive, and could lead to genuine commenters who like using an anchor phrase being tagged as spammers.

If in doubt, I tend to leave comments as I wouldn’t want to delete a genuine one, but these services could alter that.

Everyone above have pretty much said it all. I do have a mixed feelings about people leaving comments with the seo word and it is hard to actually identify the person unless they are a regular.
But, if it helps the SERPs, Chris your suggestion and Michaels name above are the way to go.
