    Just when you thought spammers couldn't get any lamer...a paid spam comment generator. It really shouldn't be surprising though. Comment spam generated the nofollow tag in the first place....

    Did you see how Chow was getting his readers to complain to Google on his behalf? They'll keep coming up with more schemes as time goes on, each one more shocking than the last.

    Comments are awesome. Nothing is better than going to your blog and seeing real content from users, especially when they like the blog. Screw paid comments, it won't make a full time income.

    yes they will find them over time.

    Comment spam traps are already in use against mass comment spammers.
    Once a few spam trap blogs work into the list everyone using it will be outed.

    Once the first round of comment buyers is found out its a small step to identify other blogs receiving commenting, combine that to find sites with a similar pattern then they should have a good over view of the network.
