Matt Cutts: Blog Commenting is Fine for Link Building, But Use Your Real Name...

In the recent video of Google's Matt Cutts, he says while leaving blog comments and links to a site is not directly spam, it is something that can be abused. Matt also advices to use real name while commenting. Don’t use comment completely for commercial marketing objective, it can make leaving comments look spam and senseless and Google can consider it a link scheme.

For example, imaging about your own blog, where "Pritesh Chauhan" comments something informative. That will make it through all of the checks. What about if I modified my name to "SEO Professional In India" or "Pritesh SEO"? It makes no sense.
