Is blog commenting worth it?
I have never been very active at posting on other people’s blogs or even in forums yet I actually spend a lot of time reading. Over the next couple of weeks im going to increase the amount I post on blogs specifically. Hopefully it can benefit this blog.
Trackbacks are something I also started with, then forgot about. Often if you put a trackback url in your blog posts you can get extra backlinks. Its a really quick and simple way to get backlinks so I think I better start that again.
Blog commenting is pretty simple. Especially if you are reading other people’s blog posts anyway. It works to benefit your website in a number of ways. You can get backlinks from the website you post on and also traffic. Also something which is often overlooked is a return comment. If you comment on someone’s blog they are likely to check it out and possibly comment on your. You can therefore make new friends with other blog owners.
The reason I started to think about increasing my blog commenting was a post on onemansgoal.com. He wrote a post on successful blog commenting which although didn’t tell me anything new, it did get me thinking. The blog has been rather neglected lately (mainly due to me having to think about things in my life and my future)
Its time to get back on track! I will post if I find blog commenting does indeed boost traffic or comments on this blog.

I think its useful when you are commentating on a blog that actually interests your, which you actually want to read. This makes it less of a chore

Yes, also many blogs such as this one have the do-follow plugin installed.
Actually I never thought that posting comments can be a good traffic source for my blogs, but last week found some intresting blogs and commented them. I was surprised how many uniques I received and some of them even subscribed to my feed. So I would say commenting really worth the effort
I would say it is worth it for sure. Nice backlinks for many different sites. Also you might get some traffic.
I have recently tried this approach, and must say that it does help your blog get some traction. Also, you get that feeling of connecting with fellow bloggers in the same industry.
Commenting on blogs is a good way to give feedback =D
I think it is certainly worth it. Especially on this blog
Commenting is a great way to drive traffic to your site. If you’re taking the time to read… leave a comment.
Blog commenting is a great way of generating traffic to your site or blog. You’d be surprised how many people actually click the links in comments and despite what people think nofollow links still count with search engines(even if their effect is reduced).
