Commenting on blogs is one way members of the blogging community can strenghten each other. Comments indicate that your material has been read and thought about. Commenters will also get links back if they leave comments on "DoFollow" blogs.

It is abused by spammers which can be time consuming monitoring all your comments.
The main problem with it is that it isn't as effective as most think when it come to passing link love.
Most people think that they will receive a high PR link but Google tends to ignore most of these links as they point to unrelated sites or simply because there are to many outgoing links from the commented blog.
At best you get a diluted link or at worst you get nothing and the site with all the links on it loses PR clout due to having too many outgoing links.
Don't get me wrong as I like the idea but it really is more useful as a tool to attract comments and increase your content than as a way to pass on good PR.
