I don't see this service as spam. People outsource their blog content... this is just going one step further and outsourcing your blog comments. I’d agree with some of the comments above.

Labeling it as spam is typical Internet geek snobbery where they view the web as a socialist collective. It isn't, at least not here in the US. However... I wouldn't recommend jumping on the buyblogcomments wagon quite yet, either. I purchased a test transaction from them back in July to gauge the quality of the posts. They never did my project - 6 months and 4 emails later. Boo, AND Hiss.... I agree w/ the last commenter – not spam if it is part of the conversation.

Spam as you said can be sldkfjsl or some sort of ad. Spam is the same post over and over on a bunch of sites, you even admit that each comment is tailored for that individual post so that means they have read the post at least. These people read the posts and provide relevant feedback. You call it intelligent spam, no it is a legitimate comment. I wouldnt mind one of these posts on my blog. They would still have to read my blog. Now spammers dont read your blog, they just flood you with an overabundance of useless stuff. I call it outsourcing. Many people don't have enough time to go around blogs and post their comments, so they hire someone to do it. This has been going on for ages. This is in no way spam.

Sadly, I do think Jon will have several clients for his new venture. There is definitely an ethical debate involved in this type of service.
