The lights go out in Los Angeles. The slow loss
of electricity now undeniable,
points of intersecting
traffic backed up miles
motionless: the sun
can only be let to fall, it's last mettalic
lightening dazzles itself down
the mirrored windows
of the U.S. Bank building, we can not but let now
the darkness fall.
These stalwarts, steadfast
and secure, do not always hold up well
under the deteriorating sky,
above deteriorating dirt, built
by deteriorating human
sweat and their crying
glory like the lightening
of last bits of sunshine
gone dazzling now down the glass
walls, Los Angeles,
into dark.
Enter into dark
and repentance.

Alright, Yeah! Go ahead and use comments on my blog to advertise whatever you would like.
Seriously though, you should spend more time critically thinking through your publicity strategy. I crunched some numbers for you and here's what I found:
Time it takes to write out a short compliment and a longer plug for a irrelevant website on some sweet unsuspecting blog: 18 sec.
Audience exposure: 4 people. Maybe 5 on a good day when I force my roommate to listen to me read stuff from off my blog.
Time it takes to yell "visit this sweet site and you could get rick on credit for free!" while running up and down the isles of a movie theatre with a sign that reads "www.credoninc.com" just as the feature presentation begins: 12 sec on the first run when I didn't get hit by a soda, and 15 sec. when I did.
Audience exposure: 228 people if you pick the right times and movies.
Initially, my research team and I are of the opinion that your time could be better spent if you adopt some alternative advertising strategies. And, we're definitely in favor of you doing that.
However, these numbers are just a foundation for further research into the greater subtleties of the subject. For instance, I didn't take into consideration the possibility of you commenting on a blog of someone who would then run through theatres promoting your web site in an attempt to give you some research feedback. If you could profile bloggers well enough to consistently target those kinds of blogs, your audience exposure to time spent advertising goes through the freakin roof.
Anyway, things to consider.
