Blog comment spam is an interesting thing. We try to block it with nofollow, but we also know that doesn't work. We use CAPTCHA images, which seem to work, but it's only a matter of time for those.
I like comments on this blog, and because I'm such a big generous guy, you can spam my blog with useful comments and score a PR6 link out of it. If your comment is not useful, I'll bellow a big hearty laugh and amuse myself at the fact you think I'm an idiot.
Seriously though, post a useful comment to any of my posts, and if I like it, I'll share the link love. Easy PR6.

Lately I'm spending more time spamming (cough - I mean adding useful
and relevant content) to forums and blog comments. Even if they are
nofollow links, it's all about brand building and getting your name
out there. Good comments on good blogs do bring in traffic.

Some comments on comments
One of my new year's resolutions has to spend more time trolling
forums and blogs. To interact more, learn some new tricks and (ahem)
