Traffic to your website:
As people come to recognize you they will start to visit your site. This is particularly true if you have written a similar article and referenced it in the comment. Don’t spam by linking without the blog owner’s permission.
More comments on your blog: As the traffic to your blog increases you may find the comments starting to increase. This will rely very much on the content you write. Obviously if you write posts that are boring you will find that no one wants to comment. Keep it interesting and fresh.
Improve relationship with the blog community:

Backlinks:
Many blogs incorporate a do follow in the blog comments. This provides a valuable link back to your pages. More importantly, as you gain a reputation that is supported by quality content you will find others either quoting or referring to you in their posts, with links. The more back links you can gather, the better your search rankings will be. This of course leads to more traffic.
