Does blog SPAM improve my search engine ranking?

I get a looooooottttt of spam in the comments area of my blogs. I’ve come to accept it as a fact of life, like inflation and taxes and death. The Akismet plug-in has screened a huge percentage of the spam, but a handful get through every day.
But I was thinking, doesn’t blog spam improve my search engine ranking? I’m no SEO guy, so this is my simple thought.
Here’s the thought:
1.) Comments on blogs, whether spam or legit, “modify” a page such that the next time a search engine crawls my page, it sees “new content” on the same page. This page will perform better compared to a rusty dusty static blog entry that hasn’t changed for the past two years.
Is my thinking right?
2.) Thus, here’s what I do with spam lately: I let it be (especially for spam on my “other” blogs). I don’t want to delete each and every spam message that comes my way right there and then. So I batch it. I ignore it for a few days/weeks. Hopefully within this time my blogs get crawled and the search engines catch my “new content”.
Later, when I have the time, I go into wordpress admin and bulk-delete the spam.
Make sense? Am I on the right track?

being targeted by spam is an indication that your site is being crawled by search robots…. or you may have a lot of contents… Akismet is a great tool…
