Blog comments increase traffic

Use a tool like Comment Hut or Comment Kahuna to find relevant and high page rank blogs that you can comment on in order to add links pointing towards your site.

Make sure you actually read the post and leave an intelligent comment that adds to the reader's experience, not detracts from it. Decide to devote 30 minutes daily to acquiring links from these valuable properties. It's well worth the effort - not only for potential visitors but also the added "juice" those links give Google when ranking your site.

It also raises the profile of your blog by association, so make sure that you leave quality comments.

Steady and consistent link building is best. Also use varying anchor text and link back deep inside your site to several pages - not just your home page.
