I saw this type of spam from companies like ZOHO owned site24x7.com, if they are doing it in house or just buying a service I do not know.

There are definitely ethical concerns in this type of business.

I usually need some time topost a "relevant comment" 100 comments mean you actually have to read 100 posts and think about a good comment. that would cost hours. for only 20 bucks it could not be more than a "good post" or "keep up the good work" or a "i totally agree with you" or something. You can't expect 100 intelligent comments for 20 dollars.

I’ve never understood the point of comment spam, at least as far as SEO goes. Google basically ignores links on pages that are below about PR4, so a comment on a typical blog post is worthless in terms of draining PR juice from a site.
In contrast, multiple comments on a site like Sciencebase that runs the Top Commentators Plugin will allow a dedicated commenter to get their link right on to the blog homepage (which is a PR7). Now, if you were unethical that plugin would be the way to go to game sites like that.
Of course, Akismet and a wary and sharp-eyed moderator will see right through the cr*p-flood, anyway.

Ugh! On top of their unethical business model, they lifted their design palette and logo style directly from MyBlogLog. I'd bet dollars to bought links that somewhere out there on eLance or the like you could find a work requests that includes 'and make it look like MyBlogLog'
Lame.

I do not think this will work as comments do not really count much high in SEO rankings, even with the do follow tag it will be hard - it doesnt even show much in technorati unless its on the main page.
so this service is defintely useless

Hey Ted! Ouch man, that hurts. Yeah, the team knows we're a bit boxy and garish. We also kinda dress funny and tend towards the baggy jeans & faded lucky t-shirts for our dress. We're working on it! Grooming classes imminently!

What a load of garbage! YahooSE will put your DLs in order of importance - go comment on a PR8 blog and look at the value of the deeplink comment you get.
You're also totally ignoring link velocity, which is incredibly important for rankings..

Adding to Mark's comments... not just link velocity, but distribution of links. Let's ignore the effect high PR backlink on a blog and assume that it won't happen. Let's assume you'll only get PR0-2 backlinks.
You can still build: deep links, anchor text variety, and a backlink base of PR0-3 so that when you go and buy PR4-8 backlinks it will look "natural" to the search engines.
Some webmasters buy high PR links but it's effect is muted by weighing algorithms that look for "natural link growth". The key for natural grown is pyramid structure based on logarithmic distribution.
There are also other benefits depending on the purpose of the site. If someone just wants to put a bow on a site and sell it at DP then they can buy a domain, throw some MFA on it, build up 1000 backlinks, and then package it for resale. When you consider the cost of labor overseas, this can all be done very cheaply.
So there is indeed much benefit of backlinks for sites below PR4. Now I will go back to Mark's comments and say that you do see higher than PR4 backlinks. It just takes a Google update or two for it to hit.

It is interesting to note there is a lot of media coverage of this site and its spamming service. In each case the article includes a text link back to the site. This is like screaming FIRE! and fanning the flames with oxygen. Even listing the url as text is feeding the fire. Sites should use images to show spammer urls without links.
