The answer is very simple, when you comment in a blog, it only shows that you also have knowledge in the same topic. You can write the link of your website in your comment so when the reader is interested in it, he will go to your page and read more about your content.
Also, if you notice that the blog has many visitors every day, it only tells that the blog has high PR or Page Rank. It is a good indicator that this site is a great for commenting because it could also affect your own page rank and you could also receive traffic from that certain blog.

I absolutely agree with this. I found it as a good way when I’m trying to get some good links to my site. Although, it is too much of a task, spending a few minutes a day doesn’t hurt. Most of the time, spam comments are caught that’s why I didn’t tried to do it. It is bad! =)

I definitely agree with the power of commenting. By commenting and staying engaged you can become part of a community that will probably comment on your own blog. I would add that when commenting on a blog, it is a good advice (when relevant) to include some of the other commenters in your response as this might draw them out and start a conversation thread.
Truly agree with you Abdallah

Hi Herbert,
You know what I liked the most about your article (although all of it was useful) – was that you talked about engaging with the article.
Many people comment just for the links back or to say something that really means nothing.
But you are spot on when you talk about relevance. Making sure your comment is relevant to the article. (Like my comment!).
Thanks for sharing on BizSugar
Take care,
Denise

Commenting on a post about commenting. That is something else. Found this site through Biz Sugar and wanted to say hi. Good tips on commenting. The more real you are and the less robotic the better. A blog admin will read so many comments, why would they spend time on the canned ones?
Leave marketing automation elsewhere, not for commenting.
