Actually, commenting on blogs is useful but because it is more difficult to get your keywords in the link back the link has diminished value. Most blogs will frown on a name like "Self Publish Your Book" as a name, and rightfully so. That is also why many high traffic blogs have nofollow links for the comments. I personally don't search out blogs without nofollow for comments and I do use commenting as part of my linking strategy. I have found that the search engines do follow all links they find, they just don't pass PR (a Google idea). They do count them as PR0 value so they still have a part to play. How do I know that? Testing. I agree with your thoughts on doing proper link building wherever possible as those links are sign posts to your content for robots and warm visitors. Keep up the good work John.
