I actually argue that most people go about a blog commenting strategy the wrong way and there is a higher leverage technique that most bloggers don’t do, but even if you follow the basic advice and just get out there and be a prolific commenter it will build traffic, and here’s proof.
You go, Caroline Middlebrook!!

I see Caroline all over Sphinn and I have adopted the blog commenting strategy with decent success on a fresh domain so it must still count for something.
I have seen her picture around a bunch too. I really have to agree with the premise of this post as well. Commenting on other blogs is important not only because it drives traffic to your site but it if you actually contribute useful comments you will gain status as an expert in your industry, which leads to more visitors..
Comments are also useful for getting to know people and start networking online. It is a great starategy to comment on someone's blog before going to know him personally.
I started actively commenting about a month ago and it really has worked well. I think the biggest advantage is that aside fromt he direct traffic I've got, I see many of the people whose blogs I comment on drop by my own blog. It's been a good way to get my ugly mug out there in the blogosphere!
The tricky thing of course, is managing the time. There are sooo many blogs, you can't comment on them all.
You can really get an active response from this on popular sites
