By regularly commenting on blogs in your niche, you can attract a large number of people.

Most wordpress blogs have Akismet plugin installed. Sometime this plugin catches genuine comment too. So if your comment is caught on the spam filter, all of your effort will be gone. Here are some tips to avoid get caught,
Valuable comments
This is the first rule. Post relevant and valuable comments. Read the whole post and comment on it. Don’t just post “Nice post” type comments.
Use a gravatar
Without a gravatar, your comment will show the default image. To get noticed, use your own unique picture. Sign up for Gravatar.com and add a picture to your default email address. Everytime you post comments using this email, your picture will be shown.
Avoid keywords
Most people tries to stuff keywords on comment author field. This is bad, the comment should be personal. Use your name/ brand name in comment field.
Avoid links on comment
Some people leave the blog link within the comment. This is not good because your link is already been submitted in Website field. If you think there’s a better relevant resource you can share, then add the link.
Don’t post offensive comments
Offensive and harsh comments are always removed. Try to be polite and be nice to other people and the author.
Notify the author if your comment is being marked as spam!
If your comments are being marked as spam, then notify the author about it. They’ll sure check it out and approve your comment.
