Using Scrapebox to Promote Affiliate Program?

Okay so a few weeks ago I saw BHSVPS comment spammed some of my blogs, not for links but to try to get people signed up for their program. I was pissed at first but then realized this was pretty genius.

What do you guys think about using Scrapebox to send comments to a bunch of blogs in my niche notifying them of my affiliate program? I'm trying to think of the dangers of doing this but I don't think there's too many. I could even do a little "Sorry for spamming your blog but..." thing.

The other option is to just use Scrapebox to find the blogs and then hire a freelancer to send stock emails to all of them.

What do you guys think?

The only way to know is to try!

That second part of your idea has been mentioned here on BHW before, by using Scrapebox to do all the "dirty work", and getting a VA or whatever to manually do the rest, what it is.

I would go that route.

Just make sure you are using a redirecting url or short url service. There will be a lot of users that will hit the SPAM button and you will hurt your website/IP reputation.
