I had an experience with this one. One guy wrote in his CV that he's been working with SEO for 9 years (btw, he is 22 years old). No comments needed ^) Point No 5 – Good one!

Unfortunately though there are a lot of businesses out there that have been treated badly by SEO firms in the past which makes it much harder for us legit companies to attract business. However, that's why I get such a great buzz once the client does sign up and becomes successful.

I give you this, good quality comments enrich the blog's content, and moreover it adds value the blog's post subjects. Regarding this topic, I just wish that everybody who owns a site, and has no concepts of seo or web design, read this. Frankly it is easy to understand how some people fall for these kind of things such as promises of top google SERPs. Imagine yourself having a site, an old styled one, which hardly receives any visit and you want to give it a better use but have no idea how. Then comes along someone promising top Google SERPs and/or Page Rank. Gives you some bogus examples. Its easy to be tricked. In here we all have experience, some more than others, to understand such lies, but out there not every one has this knowledge, so it's fairly easy to be tricked, at least for the first time.

But then one fine day, blog comments got nofollowed and Google probably embraced the idea.

However I can`t see how good topic related comments can do any harm to SEO I think most bloggers are careful not to allow any spam comments on their blog as it slowly ruins its image.

Please elaborate on this. By "cutting it off", are you referring to the fact that most blogs are nofollow so Google won't follow them? “Blog commenting was once upon a time a good trick to source backlinks, but like any gaming strategy, Google detected it and cut it off.”
