Commenting on other articles and blogs is a great way to earn links back to your website or blog. Don't post "I agree" or "Nice post." Instead, make useful comments to show people that your opinion matters and that you can help them.
Utilizing social media opportunities such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn will also allow you to comment on articles, websites, news, press releases, blog posts, videos, podcasts, etc. This will allow you to position yourself as someone who is helpful and informative.
I'm glad you mentioned this. Commenting, for me, is one way to blog without actually blogging on my own site. And, in an age where so much conversation is limited to 140 characters at a time on Twitter, I think comments on blog posts that add to the conversation are like gold.
