I'd say that this sort of thing is considered to be a generally spammy practice. But it happens; especially in a competitive industry like anything to do with weddings, you'll see competitors that rank highly on a lot of terms will have at least some links like this.

If you're going to do it, don't automate. Do everything naturally and make sure your blog comment is natural, intelligent, "actual". Identikit stuff helps nobody. Also, the more identikit a post is, the greater the chance that the owner of the blog will trash your comment before any web user or bot even gets to it.

One final point. You'll get more mileage by having the URL linked as your profile name and not included in the comment itself. So if you're a wedding photographer, post the comment under the alias Wedding Photographer Steve (or whatever your name is) and include your URL. That way you'll get anchor text that's partially what you want, without annoying blog owners. This is a much better way of getting some kind of link to your site; I'd forget about href links in the comment itself.

Hope that helps -- the wedding biz is ridiculously competitive and I do appreciate the need to get more creative with your linking strategies. Be sure to do it naturally, intelligently, in a way that contributes to the blog you're commenting on (which, let's not forget, is why blogs allow comments), and you should be fine.

depends on the site, and you should only do it to websites your actively involved with. keep it to a minimal level even there.
