I made a comment on two blogs and when i checked my Google webmaster tool, I noticed that I am getting over 1000 backlinks from them. But when I opened some of the backlinks linking to me, I didn't see my url on them... could this be a technical error and van this also be harmful to my website because it just a month old?

    Probably doesn't matter. This happens all the time, and Google doesn't usually seem to react to a few hundred links coming from a single site.

    It's not uncommon for blogs to have sidebar widgets that have backlinks to commenter's site. If that's the case those comments are gone as soon as that blog receives some more comments.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    It's not an error. It happens often when you use blog comment spam as a back linking technique. If Google happens to spider the site at the time when your comment is showing up in a "Recent Comments" type of widget, Google sees the link on every page it visits. The next time it spiders the site, your comment will likely be knocked off of the recent comments and it will see the links are not there anymore.

    It's no big deal.

    Get high quality comments that don't look the same and you should be fine.
    As Aakansha said: Quality over Quantity.

    As others have mentioned, I don't think this will have a huge impact. But, it might be a good idea to start working on getting other types of better backlinks instead of just blog comments.

    Its a clear sign of link scheming, but for the backlinks it doesn't matter how much you build.

    If links are do-follow so your website will get benefit from it.
