Here are my answers:
- Blog comments are worthy, but not in the way most cheap link building providers want you to believe.
Most are nofollow links, and if they are dofollow the actual page will have many comments, so the link juice is divided in many, and few goes to your own website.
Links from blog commenting are worthy because they can bring referral traffic if you comment on blogs related to your niche and your comments are interesting.
2, 3 and 4) Many so called SEO companies offer the blog comments services because they are cheap and easy to do - they use software that automatically posts spun comments in list of blogs. In minutes they can post thousands of blog comments. Even if only 1% of those pass spam filters or are approved by mistake, or get on blogs that are not moderated they have something to show to the clients.
If you want to rephrase my answer in fewer words I can put it like this: Because spam is cheap.There are also good SEO companies that include these in their offer even if they know blog comments don't help much. They manage to get some great links by legit means, but they can't charge the client for - let's say - 10 links. Because clients want to see numbers. Wants to see "how many", not "how good".
So to have better numbers they add a few hundreds links from blog comments to the final bill, even if they now the real results will come from those only 10 good links that are not from blog comments. - Blog comments are worthy, but not in the way most cheap link building providers want you to believe.

Of course they are important, they are among the most important means for solid online relationship building. Regardless the link type (dofollow/nofollow) , interesting and ontopic comments will always make the blog owner curious about who the commentator is, what he does and what other articles he writes.

Hi,
-
Blog links are still important in a way so I believe you can say it is worthy. However, since most blogs have no=follow tag, you don't get any link juice but by providing good and informative comment, it helps build your brand and direct peopleto your website.
-
Off Page strategy is not simply build backlinks. By commenting on blogs and participating, it helps your brand build awareness and possibly increase traffic as i mentioned above.
-
As I mentioned above, majority of blogs don't give link juice in comments but people still comment because they want to participate in the community. It is another way to help your website or brand indirectly.
I believe you get the point from the answers above. Comments don't affect SEO but it still plays a role in marketing strategy such as building brand awareness and recognition, making yourself look like expert in a field., hopefully increase traffic via links and simply like to participate and network with other smart people.

How can I stop a tracking link from being indexed while still passing link equity?
I have a marketing campaign landing page and it uses a tracking URL to track clicks. The tracking links look something like this: http://this-is-the-origin-url.com/clkn/http/destination-url.com/ The problem is that Google is indexing these links as pages in the SERPs. Of course when they get indexed and then clicked, they show a 400 error because the /clkn/ link doesn't represent an actual page with content on it. The tracking link is set up to instantly 301 redirect to http://destination-url.com. Right now my dev team has blocked these links from crawlers by adding Disallow: /clkn/ in the robots.txt file, however, this blocks the flow of link equity to the destination page. How can I stop these links from being indexed without blocking the flow of link equity to the destination URL?

Blog Comments & nofollow to follow backlink ratio
Hello I have a website with 2000 nofollow links backlinks and about 20 follow links. It is currently ranking 11<sup>th</sup> on Google. The websites that are outranking it have lower ranking stats and in some cases only 2 follow links. Most of the nofollow links are blog comments, could this be what is dragging down my stats. The only factor my website is worst on is the number of server requests per load, which is 194 as it is a theme. Blog comments can be very difficult to remove; I created these several years ago before I knew too much about SEO. Most of them are on other websites in same niche. Would I be best to ask website owners to delete my comments or restart on a new domain. Thanks Rob
