How many backlinks/comment?

I often see especially in blog commenting people who bomb each comment with 20-30 links or more and I wonder if this is a big waste or even a drawback?
Some people say Google only read a couple of backlinks/comment, is this a fact or is every single link in a comment read and indexed?
#backlinks or comment

    I don't know that Google consider how many of comments link. But i think getting backlinks from such pages with a lot of external links, can't help your ranking. If you can find blogs with a few comments, it worths that you comment on them. But in other case, i don't suggest it.

      I heard through the grapevine that less outbound links = more weight. LOTS of outbound links = less weight.

      I think it's crap. Have you seen some of these blogs with 500+ comments?!? Those outbound links haven't lost ANY weight in the Search Engine's eyes... I know this MAN!

      CHEERS!

      P.s. However, I think Gbots are smart enough to determine that a paragraph composed of 100 separately linked keywords that all point back to one site is spam... Now don't go quoting me on this! It's just my opinion! Lol!

        It's true. The link equity of the Page is split by all links on the page, outbound and inbound links, and when you have more it means less flowing through each one. If you have 500 links on a page/domain with true PR 4 or PR 5 it still will get "link juice" as that is still passing more than most new blogs or unestablished blogs.

        Also, there is no reason to shove massive amount of links into the comment box. All it does is lowers the success of your approval rate. Not to mention it is bad practice. Unless your link in the comment is relevant and helpful, skip it and go with the Name link only.

    it is spamming, you can consider that 1 link is enough for the same url, still it has the same value.

    It is considered spamming and the Big G considers a link in a URL as a backlink already. Giving too much links in a single page can be detected by the search engines algos giving it the impression as a spammed and automated comment.

    I believe the less comments on the page the better. If they are too many users will probably not read you comments. Google should also be able to understand when a page is very important by the quality of the web sites that have commented but also from the relevance of the comments. When a page receives too many comments that do not add anything to the conversation this in my opinion is usually a negative factor and it is not really worth commenting. I always prefer to comment on quality blogs with relevant content to our blog or web site.

    The multi link blog posts always crack me up. Another reason all/most blog posts should be moderated.

    There is no specific number of backlinks for a road mark to be reached. Try and focus on the quality of your SEO process and, more importantly, the quality of your website. Moreover, PageRank is the issue related to or responsible for the increase or decrease in traffic.

    It is spamming and its short term. i wouldn't recommend doing it because it also makes the content seem less valuable.

    I don't believe so as those particular kind of posts are over looked and not accounted for, but I do know that 1-2 on topic niche related comments are better than 100+ duplicated spam comments in terms of seo.
