It would be better if you choose blogs related to your niche and the links will be given more importance by the google.
I mainly do it for traffic purposes. If I manage to comment on a dofollow blog then backlinks are an added bonus
Yes, blog commenting brings you double benefit, but I don't think it's very useful to comment in blogs with nofollow attributes at commentators links, because quality backlinks should be number one for you.
nice article . Blog commenting has a number of great benefits. It's even better if the blog is A) Related to your niche, B)Dofollow or 3) Has high pagerank. Sometimes you can even get traffic through those blog comments to your own site.
yup i read it and commented on it. I was outlining those points as the main benefits I see from blog commenting
That is true. Also, make your comments count. Try not to spam or do it in a robotic way.. Always have something useful to write so that the owners won't delete your comment + so that visitors will get a good impression of you and your website.
If you are going to comment on another blog and have your backlink there, remember that the quality of the comment itself will speak a lot about your blog. So, if the primary purpose of the comment is a backlink, it shows with the quality of the comment itself. Like one of the earlier posters said, comment only when you like the article or have something useful to say about it. Otherwise it is a poor advertisement for your blog. Also higher quality comments that add value will make the net a better place.
Blog commenting is the common "tool" to get traffic from related blogs and good in term of link building if the blog is dofollow. Btw, there is a trick in order to get an approval from blog owners. Read the blog post carefully, contribute quality tips and ask a question will usually do the trick.
Blog commenting is only as good as the quality of feedback you are willing to give. If you are only willing to say a few words about the blog then there is no point in it and you are only wasting time. But, if you actually spend some time and effort on your comments then it works. Effort goes a long way.
