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.

To integrate a blog tool onto site - or build a blog solution - what's better for SEO?
Currently looking at adding a blog to our company site subdirectory and wanted to know if there was a SEO distinction between the following methods: Integrating a bolt-on blog tool with the site to create the blog VS. just using the current site infrastructure to build blog functionality. What's better for SEO? (and if tool integration is the overwhelming response - which tool?). Cheers.

Adding no follow links on my site
I am getting a warning about having too many links on my page www.accessoriesonline.co.uk (152) but I don't want to remove any links from the site. Its an ecommerce site with categories across the top, featured products and then a further category navigation in the footer. Would it be beneficial if I added a rel="nofollow" to the links in the footer as these are duplicates of the one's in the header or would this harm the links in the header and the destination URL's which I definitely want to be crawled? Also, does anyone know if SEOMOZ considers links with a rel=nofollow as an actually link when they calculate their overview? Thanks in advance
