So yes, I use keywords when i'm wearing my SEO hat and I don't consider it spam if I'm actually commenting on the post and not trying to sneak unrelated links through. Why does it matter if I'm Mary or Online? The number of people that actually follow back to the commenter's site is extremely minimal. If you don't want people to use keywords or their blogname, take away the website field on the comment form - plenty of blogging platforms do that. Or you can force Facebook logins which will also drive away some of your traffic for different reasons. Every blogger has to decide for themselves what their threshold is and what's appropriate for their audience. Plenty have turned off comments all together.

If it really does add value to the blog, then it's helping that blog out in a big way. Google will keep coming back to spider the page and possibly the site because the commenter is providing fresh and unique content to that page. Now, in opposition, you have these bloggers whose attitude is "I hate it when people try to "sneak" their keywords into my comments section". It's really a "holier than thou art" attitude because they are giving you valuable fresh content for your blog and you are essentially telling them "thanks for the comment. Oh, you want me to reciprocate? Get the h*** outta here spammer". I wonder how many webmasters who have a business to run will want to take time out of their busy day to continue commenting on blogs where the blog owner's attitude is "gimme, gimme, gimme" (i.e. fresh content) and they don't want to give anything back in return.

I have commented before just using my blog title, not only because it feels like an extension of me, but because it's really my online name too. I liked the idea of consistency. Now, I feel that associating my first name to it, makes it more personalized. Not always one comments within their own niche. There are times where I just want participate in an interesting conversation off topic, or simply say thank you, and be myself, while still maintaining my online identity.
