Building links can be one of the toughest things for a new person to learn how to do. Fortunately, there are free ways to do it. Commenting on other blogs is one of the best ways to get traffic to your site. Besides the fact that you may get a few people from the blog you comment on, the most important part is improving your ranking in Google.
One of the things people think when they are just starting out is that they can get links from anywhere, and they all are the same. This is not true. Google looks at which links have the nofollow attribute on them and discounts these from passing on value. Most of the time you will find that a lot of the blogs you comment on are nofollow blogs. The best way to identify whether the blog is a dofollow or not is to simply download and install a plugin for Firefox called the NoDoFollow extension. It will highlight them both with different colors to easily identify them.
The key is not to leave spammy looking comments, but to really participate in what the blog post is about with a useful comment. It is more likely that when you leave legitimate comments that they will be approved by the blog owner. Look for blogs that have high PR as well as age. This helps to improve the strength and provide authority to your site.
Also important is using the keywords in the name of your comment whenever possible. Anchor text links are the most important factor in the Google ranking algorithm.
