Do comments generate traffic ?

    Do comments generate traffic ? What do you think ?

    How many unique visits can you obtain in average from 10 different comments ?

    or are the comments useful in link building ?

    comments can be useful for a bit of traffic generation but for the most part I'd say they don't really get that much traffic (IMO). they will bring in a few 'window shoppers" but nothing big.

    It can be useful for link building too but a lot of comments are no follow so you don't get the same 'link juice' from google.

    I dont think comments helps directly getting traffic. However you can use them for SEO to rank better on different keywords and thus they could help get more traffic.

    Just to echo what has already been said, comments generally are written for backlink building purposes.

    However

    If you leave a well thought out response on a highly-trafficked blog you can probably bring in a few visitors.

    It depends very much on what blog post you're commenting on & also on what you comment.

    If you comment on a blog post that is not interesting and no one else is reading ... the traffic you get is obvious ;)

    If you comment on a blog post from a high traffic blog and your comment is interesting too, then some people may want to know who the hell are you and what you do. So they will click on your link :)

    If DoFollow, it can definitely help in serp. If nofollow, it can bring in additional traffics.

    dofollow doesn't really help in generating any traffic.. it is a part of link building... if you continue to do SEO this might help along with it.... but without total SEO; do follow is nothing.

    They can.....you have to make sure the comments aren't too spammy...otherwise the blog owners may never approve them.....I get a good bit of traffic from the blog owners as well checking out the links....

    It depends.But you'd better pay more attention to the content of your comment.If it's boring and not attractive,
    it may do no good to the traffic.

    Well generally they don't, but if you know how to do them really well they do. There's a difference between a one-liner comment and an informative on-topic response.

    I found that for every 20 of these you leave, you'll notice of them will give you quite a bit of traffic.

    It just depends on the source, that's why I always recommend highly authoritative and relevant blogs or you're wasting your time.

    Any sort of link can generate some traffic. With comments, early on you will get some traffic from them, but usually your comment traffic will not even begin to compare if you get on the first page of google on a good keyword. Fortunately you do not have to choose because to work towards one you do the other!

    Yes, commenting can bring related traffic to your site. I have done it before and it brought me some visitors.

    Writing GOOD comments will generate traffic, but not floods of it. They will however, bring in dedicated readers and help with SEO!

    comments don't bring you clicks, they can increase your serp position if links are dofollow, and traffic in result

    Good comments can bring you traffic where if you've embedded links.. Also this will increase your SERP reputation and will give you more backlinks or link popularity.
