Just got this comment on the Nursing Homes post:
Hi we've recently established a new website www.whereforcare.co.uk which is a ratings and review website for carehomes- hopefully over time, people will be able to get a good idea of which homes in their area do provide good care, so if you have anyone who has experience of care homes, we would really appreciate their input!
Since this is not exactly the biggest blog in the world, and since this is just the newest of such personally posted comments from people who want to promote something relevant to a post, it seems to me that there is a new type of promotion roaming the planet. I think they have google trawl the blogosphere continually looking for relevant keywords and when they find them, they swoop in and post a comment. I'm guessing it's usually not all that helpful to the blog itself, but it's a hell of a lot better than spamming.

A harmless, if not even useful comment, huh?
Actually, I suspect they're using something like Technorati, where I believe you can track specific terms or phrases. Your blog software probably already notifies Technorati whenever you make a new post -- no need to wait for Google to crawl the site to get the notification.
In any case Google gets updates from this site instantly.
