Spam filters aren't what they used to be. Write a nostalgia piece on the Pet Shop Boys and sooner or later you're sure to get a comment from a veterinary clinic.
This is a bad example of it. But this is a billable activity when done right. There are companies that pay marketing firms to have people read context-relevant blogs and put in comments with a link back to their website to attract more traffic.
