I hate to say it, but I agree. Drive-by posting is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to push a book. (IMO, it's also one of the least effective, but that's a topic for another day.)
I wonder whether it's a kind of newbie error, like having typos in a manuscript? Everyone tells authors "Promote! Promote! You've got to promote your book or it will never sell!" And if you're a new author, and if you've never tried to sell a book before, it might not be easy to tell when you've crossed the line.
