  Expert Answer

  Commenting a link on other blogs can have some impact, but it won't drastically boost the website’s searchability on its own. Search engines like Google prioritize high-quality, relevant backlinks from credible sources. So if the blog where you post the link has strong authority and your comment adds meaningful value to the conversation, it can help because it has relevance.
