The thing is that while the home page of a hot blog site might be Google Ranked at 5 or 6 or higher, the individual article pages are usually ranked 0 especially if the blog pumps out 3 posts a day.
Speaking strictly from a traffic creation point of view, not morally right/wrong, would it actually benefit my traffic largely if I went and posted comments on lets say the top 10 blogs in my category just saying "Great Article!" for example? Assuming the blog authors allowed the comments, would it actually build links to my blog?
I heard of this "tactic" before, but I never understood how/why it would work. For some reason I thought that having fewer links from highly rated sites was better than more links from lower rated sites? Is this not true?
Someone please enlighten me.

It's not about building PageRank or SEO. It's mostly for what I call "traffic-sharing." You comment other blogs, leave your link. The author usually checks out people who leave comments, as do other commenters. You get their visitors to check out your site too. If you comment enough, you'll probably get some link love.
I just started my blog about a month ago. I have 9 posts in all. I put up my stat counter January 2. Since January 2, most of my traffic has come the blogs that I've commented, whether from the author or their visitors. In one week, I've earned almost $7 in AdSense. In one week, I've had over 100 visitors. And I have 9 posts. I'm still very much new to blogging, especially marketing.
What I did though was accidentally find a PF (my niche) blog, explored the site, and checked out her blog roll. Checked out her carnivals, posted comments, etc. When I got my blog up, she was my first link out. She was also my first comment. Her site provided me with what I needed to get started - gave me a list of other blogs in the niche to comment on, which in turned provided me with other services that I use.
What amazes me is that my blog is still very new. A month old. And I'm getting great hits from Google. I check out what keywords they are using, and I see what Googles brings up, and my very new blog is on the front page.
So I don't know what I'm doing (right or wrong), but it's working.
