Blog commenting is useful as long as you know how to use and understand it... The biggest issue I see people not getting is Google cares about quality, not quantity! If you plan to blog comment for your site only comment on blogs related to your website and when you comment on them don't spam, simply provide a useful response that contributes to the blog post. In doing this you will not only gain search engine trust but more importantly the end-users trust.

Blog commenting can still be helpful in SEO if it's done in the right way.

find a few high PR blogs you like and can visit often. It only takes a few a day. And if you are lucky enough to get on a blog roll, a couple comments can turn into a couple thousand links.

Blog commenting is the best technique to get number of backlinks but you should focus on do follow sites because no follow links are not crawled by the Google.
