I did blog commenting for a living a while ago and i want to share a bit from my experience with this service. It's one of the easiest link building service that you I was providing with great success.
However, there are some things to consider in order to avoid removal of the comment or to be labeled as spam. I know that until i learned the tricks i had a lot of them removed.
1. Keywords
DO NOT USE Keywords instead of your name.
Your comments are a valuable contribution in forming and developing a community around a subject. Usually the comment box includes a box where you can add your website, therefore you will get some juice towards your website.
Adding a keyword instead of a name can be insulting to the owner and your comment will be considered spam, just because it shows that you don't care about his work and you are here only for the seo benefits.
DO's
Post with your name, write a good comment and engage in the conversation. This way you will get credibility and even if you will slip an URL within the comment, will not be removed and moreover you might get endorsed by the Owner.
2. Fake emails, contacts.
DO NOT USE a fake e-mail address
This one is a bummer because it breaks the communication link between you and the writer. I did this a couple of times and, because of the tools that are checking the validity of the email addresses, my comments were not shown. It was a waste of time and a mistake from my side which i learned on the hard way.
DO's
It's common courtesy to use a valid contact email address. Many times you can receive collaboration offers, gigs or even thanks messages.
What you can do if you don't want your personal email to be filled with reply's and alerts is to register additional emails for specific tasks (one for alerts, one for backlinking services, etc).
3. Subject.
DO NOT BLABBER!
Read carefully the article and try to understand what is written before you start forming an idea and post it. Treat every subject seriously and follow the topic of the article. Nobody likes an user posting about carrots when the subject is about Internet Marketing or SEO Services.
DO's
Do your best and understand the subject of the article. Post a relevant comment, well researched if possible and the chances that your comment will stick and not be sent to spam box will increase exponentially.
4. Niche
DO NOT PROMOTE yourself in shady niches.
Do not comment on blogs that are not of your current interest. If you have a gastronomy blog and you start publish on blogs from completely different niches (pets, gardening, cars) then it will be a waste of time. I'm not saying that the backlinks from these blogs don't mean anything but the overall value it's not worth the time spent and the effort.
DO's
Use Google to research your niche. You can their predictive tool to find the most important blogs / websites in your particular domain and you can start posting comments right away.
Backlinks from the same niche carries more "juice" than those from random niches.
Blog commenting summary:

Interesting for sure, but I always use my real name and surname when leaving blog comments and my real email address.
I just feel that it is also a way to get my name out there a bit. I have sometimes Googled the people that have commented on my blog. I like it when it is real people :)

What people really need to remember is that bloggers LOVE comments on their websites... ok wait not all comments.
I love quality comments on my website that are insightful, well written and add value to my website. Unfortunately most of the comments I receive on my website hit the bin if they even make it past my spam.
If people just took a little bit longer to follow the steps that you have mentioned their success rate would be so much higher for comment approval. Why waste your time spamming? RaduV you have nailed it with this topic. As a blogger that regularly gets comments on my blogs I hope loads of people read your post.
