SEO Value of blog comments?

    What does Google think of blog comments?
    Are comments as good as the regular content of the post--meaning that keywords in the comments are as valuable as comments in the post--and that every new comment means another update, making Google realize your site is frequently updated?

    Or does Google discriminate between the page content and page comments, and give no SEO boost whatsoever whether you have 1 comment or 100?

    The NoFollow tag tells Google NOT to consider your link in their ranking algorithm. Even though you may get referral traffic from this link, Google will act as if this site had never heard of you at all.

    These types of NoFollow links are especially common with large portals, social media sites, blog comments and other sites that allow you to create public profiles.

    If you can make some backlinks(dofollow) through blog commenting, definitely it will help you to get better ranking.

    Blog commenting is an effective way to increase traffic and create backlink as long as it is done correctly, make sure to post comment on high PR sites, do follow and try to have nice and not spammy comments.

    They increase your traffic rate and yes they will be counted if they have do follow attribute. Yahoo counts even no folllow as a backlink. And good news for you.....
    Google is also changing its strategy and will consider no follow blog-links as the same as yahoo does

    This is the best way to get quality link. Post comments on active blog weather it has PR or not. If you post a link on a page which don't have PR but it will get Pr after some time. I have experience.

    You may dont get the full benefit with the No follow links (until now, dont know Googles plan for new year), but those links will generate some direct traffic for you,
