I was digging through your archives and found this gem. I’ve actually asked this question more than once because I think it is very relevant for most new bloggers.

In your example, you said each comment takes 2 min and gets 2-7 visitors from them each… Have things changed since this post was written? Even my “best” comments rarely send me more than 4-5 visitors (especially if I’m not first or second to comment).

I totally get the concept of opportunity cost, but measuring the value of the back links from dofollow blogs is kind of hard. Would you put any weight on that now that you might not have in the past? In other words, do you only consider the visitor directly sent, or do you also think there is SEO value?

I like how you have analyzed this – it all comes down to a cost-benefit type of arrangement.

I very rarely see big name bloggers leaving comments on other blogs. If they do, it is generally on another high profile blog.

I like leaving comments. It’s a great way of first of all seeing what is out that and secondly it is a great networking tool.

you have to maybe start a comment or two from somewhere and this includes blogs that are in your nich or not in your niche. but after awhile then yes getting those comments to come out is sometimes not as useful as most traffice to your blog will prob be better off at hub pages or search engine traffice

I started a blog myself and frankly speaking I comment on the others blog only for special occasions: Christmas, Easter to send best wishes to someone who makes blog. This comment is something that I don’t do:] – the comment without occasion.
