Hi - I struggled with this exact same thing on my own blog. Here's what I decided. If the commenter is providing CONTENT RELATED to your post and a link back (e.g., they have referenced your post on their own blog/site) - then I leave it - no problem. However, if it is clearly spam, delete, delete, delete.

Hollie, I guess it depends on what you think of the ad. I am currently posting and putting my link to my donation site for my race. Not trying to spam just looking for a little help.

I would moderate comments and get rid of the blatant advertising ones. That's one of the reasons I switched over to wordpress because it's easy to see and block those.
