Beyond the nefarious efforts mentioned above I believe this behavior with everyday proprietors' has evolved in the social networks. Folks definitely see those as a good inbound linking [to their own site] opportunity.

They'll make a comment that is somewhat relevant to the post they're referencing, and then place a blatant "go here for more info" type link in the body of the comment. If the comment is relevant, I delete the link in the body of the comment and ok the comment. If the comment is clearly for the purpose of obtaining a link, I delete it and move on. Worst offender: Lenders! I find that the most well-written comments are often from local readers who don't supply a link at all. I get the same sort of thing from people in my industry (real estate).
