Is blog commenting still a good way to get traffic or is it mostly used for backlinking? Maybe both?

    Both IMO. For me it seems like newer content especially stuff that is in the news now will help you get traffic from blog comments. Older stuff gives a bit of traffic but not a lot after the initial surge.

    this is usually mostly for backlinking...SEO

    but if you are making good comments on highly trafficked sites that are moderating the comments(to keep the spam down so users actually read the comments), you will also see some traffic.

    From my little experience, i have used it with an idea of both, but the traffic has been almost non existent

    it can still be great for backlinks but the comments have got to be decent enough to stick.

      Both the traffic and especially the backlink benefits are directly proportional to the relevance of the site/blog commented on to your own site.

      As the authors of so many standard SEO textbooks increasingly explain, these days SEO is about quality and relevance, not so much about numbers of backlinks and page-ranks. When it comes to blog commenting, what tends to be best for SEO tends also to be good for targeted traffic.

      There are many threads here about "blog commenting" in which those who routinely do this with success give valuable advice on the details of how to go about it.
