Susan Scrupski of ITSinsider has a post about Social media Spammers. She referred to a post of her friend Tammy Erickson http://discussionleader.hbsp.com/erickson/2008/05/the_new_challenge_for_women_in.html where she talks about

Now the first comment here is from Kimberly Rosenberg who openly recommends a product in the comment.

My question is that most comments are <no-follow> so no search engines are ever going to see them or provide any link value. What do you think these comments achieve other than the blog readers clicking the links?
Note: I must mention that I see that Tammy Erickson will be ’ll be speaking at the Business and Professional Women’s National Employer Summit, “Women in the Workplace: Our Next Challenge” on June 20, 2008 in Washington, DC. http:/ /www.bpwusa.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=4750 .
