Comment on other blogs to get more traffic

(this post is part of a series on "How to get more traffic for your blog".)

Grade - No grade yet - I don't really have a formed opinion on how well this works yet.

Most people really want other people to comment on their blog, it's cool to have feedback and know if someone agrees with you or if they think you're an idiot. So it's normal that whenever we get a comment we take a look at whoever did it. This is especially true with small to medium blogs, let's face it, if one blog gets 50 comments per day the owner isn't going to check the blogs of all the people that commented, you'll be lucky if your comment ever gets a read...

Does this work?
I believe this may work and I do comment on other blogs whenever I read something that is worth a comment but I am yet to take a few hours to "power comment" which is what you have to do to take something out of this method of getting visitors to your blog. And this is the main problem I see with this technique, it takes too much time and effort.
Note: Never make comments like "nice", "interesting" "Visit my blog!". If your not going to take the time to actually read the post and give your opinion about it don't comment. Just leave. Those comments are annoying, and personally I just delete them.
