Sooo wrong. Trusting someone else who you really don’t know to effectively market your company by junk/spam comments could be tad risky to say the least.

I guess people will turn anything into a way to make money. But with a price like that you’re better off doing it yourself.

I like the idea, but I think that kind of money can be better spent buying your fellow bloggers drinks!

This would be my concern also…..there’s no way that I would pay anyone to comment using my name and url….who the heck knows what they would say, much less how they would spell!!

With my name on a misspelled, inane comment, it’s not worth the link! Good point too, Sarach, re: a paid commenter writing that they agree with some unknown blog post under your name on a topic that you wouldn’t even consider reading about in the first place.

This is just bad news all around if you really want to build any kind of credibility and respect, not just with your audience, but with yourself.

I believe I’ve been getting these paid comments now, which were easy to spot because the person making the comments used the same email address and comment for each comment, all on the same blog post, and posted the same comment text on each! The only thing that was different was the web site link, and the commenter’s name.

I think it’s possible that you won’t always know if the comment was paid for or not, because if the employee/hired hand actually reads the post and uses their mind to come up with an original comment, then you won’t know.

This is all the more reason to keep comment moderation on in full force on your blog.

I would certainly avoid this, too. I would never allow someone to imitate me, just think what it could do to your reputation.

I still take issues with paid forum posting, but at least the posters don’t assume your identity. This new concept seems far riskier from a professional standpoint.
