I get hundreds of "traditional" spam comments a day -- you know, the porn links, viagra, sploggers, and that ilk. My spam filters block the vast majority of those. The kind of comments I\'m talking about here usually make it through the filters -- so they aren\'t bots or anything. But they are certainly unwanted -- so if not spam, they are doubtless spams close cousin.<br><br>@Jim - indeed. The owner of this site emailed back and said he didn\'t know what I was talking about, that he didn\'t pay anyone to leave comments. Well, <i>someone</i> must have paid this guy in Amsterdam. I can\'t see him just sitting around, leaving meaningless comments with a URL link to an agent in Atlanta out of the goodness of his/her heart...

Many of these positions are taken by people living in India and Eastern Europe.  And the pay is deplorable - I can\'t remember the exact amounts but the people taking these jobs aren\'t earning much at all. While I disagree with the motivation of the person offering the freelance position, I do have sympathy for those who are taking the jobs - I\'m sure they need every cent they are earning.<br><br>&lt;abbr&gt;<em></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;abbr&gt;<em>Kim Woodbridge | (Anti) Social Development&#180;s last blog post..<a href="http://www.kimwoodbridge.com/thankful-for-my-friend-jim/" rel="nofollow">Thankful for My Friend Jim</a></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;</div>\

There is no need to hire someone to post blog comments for you.  In my opinion, its just plain stupid.  If you\'re an agent that\'s in this business for the long haul, you\'ll want  a good internet reputation.  These spammers won\'t last in the internet real estate "game".</div>\

Sadly I do think it falls into a couple of categories of why people get others to comment for them.  I agree that people are "sold" on the search engine benefits, but I think they also see it as a shortcut to success.  One of the best reasons to comment is you get to meet new people who usually are out of your area.  The agents paying to have people comment will miss out on that opportunity and that is a bigger loss than any slight gain in the SERPs.<br><br>&lt;abbr&gt;<em></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;abbr&gt;<em>James Bridges&#180;s last blog post..<a href="http://internetrealestatesuccess.com/2008/12/02/12-fast-acting-ways-to-get-3-new-deals-in-45-days/" rel="nofollow">12 fast acting ways to get 3 new deals in 45 days</a></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;</div>\

Agents that don\'t do their homework and are all too willing to part way with their hard earned money in an attempt to gain market share is a sad reality.  From what I understand many search engines would view that type of blitz link building campaign as unnatural link building( if they are even successful at getting the link).
