I will read comments on some posts that I am interested in. Sometimes if I find a comment particularly interesting or similar to what I think, I’ll click on their name and visit their blog. “The Church With No People” blog (it’s on my blogroll) is a great example of a blog that gets lots of comments and discussion. When I checked back today on a post I had left a comment on, I found three people replied to my comment!
Often, on my blog, people will add some very good information in the comments.

Many times, the most interesting part of an article is the comments section. As others have said, it is definitely up to the publisher to ensure that these are well moderated to remove the spam and other junk, but comments are absolutely worthy of your time.

Reading comments can sometimes be more entertaining than the blog itself. Then it is always odd to see people arguing back and forth over the comment board. Sometimes it gets annoying when it makes the page really long.

Yep, every single time. Posts+comments is where I get 98& of my own post ideas.

Yep again, the comments do complete the thought, assuming it’s not all spam.

There is an SEO article on my old DSWM blog with 300+ comments – it’s better then any SEO ebook I’ve ever read. lol

I agree with element321, I usually read the comments unless they are pages long. If it’s a new blog it give me a great sense of community for the blog and author. This helps me figure out if I want to be a repeat visitor because not only is the content good, but also consistent. Drive-by blogging is just too easy for most people to do.

I also have found other great blogs through the comments, especially if they are using commentluv. I can’t tell you how many times I have clicked on the blog link of a commentor, like Jan’s latest post. Can’t wait to read that.
