There is a lot of scum on the Internet and it doesn't sleep. Buyblogcomments.com {please type in the URL or copy/paste} is a new service that aims to let blackhatters make someone else do the commenting for them.
BuyBlogComments is the first of its kind. Finally you can purchase quality blog comments without the stress of finding someone to write the comments, or buying some high priced automated program. We specialize in selling blog comments for blackhatters who are looking for good quality backlinks. We have three different types of packages, you can either buy 100 blog comments, 500 blog comments, or 1000 blog comments at a time.
The main aim is to get a site more backlinks from the URL link that generates after leaving a comment. This has to be by far the most sick idea I've ever seen. Buying forum posts is one thing as it stays all on one forum. But buying comments across 100, 500 or a 1000 blogs just means that now I have to delete even more spam, or worse mark someone who looks legitimate as spam.
Those blogs that use do follow with their comments will have to be more vigilant now, as those using the Top commenter plugin for WP {as I do}.
I'm writing about this so that other bloggers get to know about this virus spreading around them, the better prepared you are the better off you'll be.

This is totally ridiculous! Why would someone want to “pay” people for comments on their blog? While getting popular is important, we have to remember that we are blogging for ourselves first and foremost.
I agree with Ellie. Who in their right mind pays for comments? That’s nuts.
I think people are getting confused with what the service is about.
The main purpose of the site is not for a blogger to get more comments on their blog but instead for web businesses to get linkbacks from the URL link that is generated after leaving a comment on a blog.
Apparently the makers of the site say that the “nofollow” attribute that gets attached to each comment URL doesn’t work and that in fact it helps in search engine optimization for their blog.
So if I left a comment on your blog leaving my URL as “Free Prizes” which would point to my domain that would help my site for that term in Google, MSN and Yahoo when people do searches for that term.
I hope that clears things up.
*sigh* Sometimes I think we are fighting a losing battle…
