Simple Question About Link Building

I've been reading non-stop about seo methods which include link building, but I have a question. let's say I go to a PR7 blog and leave a comment with site url but without the html. Does that still count as a backlink or is it considered a nofollow? Thanks in advance

In my opinion, it's a waste of time.

If you have good content, you'll get linked back to automatically by users.

Focus on your content. Let the users link for you. don't give someone else content.

I am new here and to SEO. My question is regarding the comments made by briansol. How do you get users to find your site if you are not ranked or unknown, particularly a new website like mine (it almost sounds like a "catch 22")? I am very good at what I do and fully believe people looking for what I have will come back to my site when they see it, I just need them to know I am here so they will visit once. Thanks for the help...

Link within a blog comment doesn't need to be in HTML format. You can create link by putting your link in WEBSITE / URL field. The anchor text will be what you'll put in NAME field.
