Another type of comment spam
I'm glad I chose to put my blog on comment moderation - now it appears that companies are paying people to pretend to be bloggers. The post read something like "That recipe looks really good, I'm in a rut as to types of pasta dishes to fix in addition to my go to pasta recipes." The italicized words "go to pasta recipes" was a link - to a Disney Family recipe page. The name of the person leaving the comment was also a link, but to a person who doesn't even have a blog but registered with Blogger so she could post as if she did. If I hadn't clicked on her name, I wouldn't have seen that. My guess is that she is paid by Disney to put their links on people's blogs.

They're probably not paying anyone directly, it's likely not even an actual person, but simply an automated program that makes the posts. From my p.o.v., moderating comments is always a smart move, it doesn't take that much effort to go through them and gets rid of a lot of unnecessary/unrelated comment posts.
It's not new, we've all experienced it. I'd say its a real person if you have captcha (which I recommend you do) That foils the automated comments.
Comment moderation is the next step if you are having continuing problems with evil comments.
Otherwise it's your blog, just delete it.
This has happened to me as well. I was so excited to see my first comment on my blog, only to be deflated to find out that it was spam to DirectTV. UGH! So now I moderate. I've seen others from Vince of Petitchef and Foodista, I just delete them.
Thanks for posting this... glad to hear I'm not alone! I get these types of comments at least twice a week.
