Hello Okto,
Blog commenting is one good steps of building a quality link. As long as the site you are link back to is in your niche and has a good PR, then, it is good to go.
You know it is sometimes awesome to bend the rules as long as you knoow that you’re not doing what’s wrong 🙂

@Emannuel and Babanature : It seems that you two agree on the benefits of blog commenting. I do believe blog commenting is a great tool for bloggers (build links and networks)
Thanks to all three of you for sharing your great insight with us, have a bless weekend
Truth is, the best way to build backlinks is to not to think about them. Seriously, don’t go chasing backlinks and they’ll start to roll in on their own.
Any backlink strategy that can be easily duplicated is useless. This includes stuff like blog commenting or forum signatures, even if they’re dofollow. Guest blogging is a grey area, but it’s certainly not as useful as it used to be.
The fact of the matter is, if you continue to write high quality articles (and yes, the bar is now raised, simple 500 word posts will no longer do) than people will start linking to you naturally as long as you have a good marketing strategy. Of course, networking with other bloggers certainly helps.
Hi James,
That is really great point of view. Backlink is really dynamic field I guess. The best bet to build it naturally is through quality content
