Armchair BEA: Experts say

I feel like I've learned a lot but my mind is going blank, so I will direct you to a few sites that I really appreciated getting started (and even some still today)

Parajunkee's Book Blogging 101

One of the things I've been wondering about, I posted the other day about comments.
I said (from this post)

I love comments. That is a statement that probably every blogger can get behind.
But are all comments created equal?
I enjoy comments that say thank you for review, and things like that. It is validation for my work that goes into the blog.
But I love comments that go the extra mile and comment on something specific about the book, or even better, about something that I said in my review.
But, should we expect that sort of response? Should we expect comments at all?
I know when I visit blogs, I am usually more of the "thanks for the review" and sometimes a bit about what I loved or didn't like about a book, and the occasional I haven't heard of this one.
What makes you comment on blogs? Do you go and visit the blogs of those who commented on yours? What kind of commenter are you?
I got to thinking about this because I am so behind on returning comments. I am just now finishing through May 3rd, so if you've commented from then until now, I love you, and I promise I will get to your blog and comment.

I was also wondering, how do you feel when people link back to their blog in your comments. I usually do, because I know I like it when people do for me. It makes it one or two clicks easier to visit them back.

Do you have any questions? What is the most important thing you've learned?
