Tried putting a nofollow link to some site in the template of your blogs/forums or footer of your html pages? Many of the comment spammers look for "dofollow" links by checking a page to see if it contains "nofollow". I'm thinking if a page has a nofollow link somewhere on the page, many of the comment spammers will think the page comments are nofollow....I'm pretty sure most spammers don't check every link, but rather just search a page for "nofollow".

How about...Finding a very popular video at youtube and embedding it on your own site/blog.Include a CPA or email opt-in on the page that is targeted to the demographics of the video. Then drive traffic to the page, capitalizing on the video's popularity.

However, the theme on the sites I was just thinking of adding that on is built to not allow comments. I'll try it on the next batch of sites I build/buy with a different theme. But that could be awhile. Things are going very slow.

In theory, the program could try to isolate the nofollow to just comment tags, but I doubt 99% of them are than sophisticated. What I'd do is put at least one nofollow link in the footer of each page. Since it's a good idea to use nofollow for TOS and privacy pages, this could kill two birds with one stone.
