Interesting diagram, looks almost like a lop-sided nuclear diagram.

yep, depends on the blogs though!

the number of IBLs is very important to a site!

but more important is that ... does the spider bots really discover all the IBLs from a specific site ?

well... that's the blogger's or forum's webmaster job. This is usually set-up from the administration panel.

All in all here is a nice helpful table on how many links a site needs to get a desired Page Rank?

Comment does not contribute to the backlink
But give attention to the comments of your visitor will increase your traffic if they are not spammers

Most of the blog use "nofollow" on comment links. You get good amount of traffic from these links but not increase link popularity on SE.

I have one idea for generating good links from blog is-

Write unique articles and submite it to blog owners. Add your website links with articles.

Well, all depends on the quality of the blog or article where you have posted comment. If you have added a comment on article or blog that is popular and have enough traffic than it may benefit you and not all but some search engines can consider it as a backlink....and the most important other thing that you will get enough traffic to to your site if you have posted an remarkable comment..........

The Scoop on Blog Posts:

* All blog posts are followed, which can help with getting a new site indexed.

* Any blog with a 'recent comments' section on the side bar will be counted as a link by Google. You won't stay in that section forever.

* Most blogs have a 'no-follow' tag, which tells the search engines that this isn't a link to count for rankings. Not all search engines take that into account.

* Most blog posts give a temporary bump in ranking on Google.

* SUPER SECRET TIP: Some blogs have removed the no-follow tag to encourage web masters to comment (building content). Do a Google search for "no-follow tag removed" ---> you'll get a bunch.

>>>Be sure to add quality comments. These bloggers are doing you a favor, return the favor by giving them quality content.<<<

Nice but as you said,
"Any blog with a 'recent comments' section on the side bar will be counted as a link by Google."

Comments are counted as backlinks for other search engines but not by google....

The problem with most of the blogs is that they have nofollow tags.

Or just check the page source when you are on it, and thinking of contributing.

Blog comments and with link from blog is considered as backlinks for your site and I think google will consider. The blogs must be related and must have quality content.
