Almost any blog now a days is comments enabled, because that is the only way to get feedback about post in positive or negative way. If comments system is not there for blogs, then it seems you are the only author blogging and reading your own post lonely.
Comments always helpful in creating healthy conversation between reader and blog author, comments keep engage readers with the blog author. Reader comes to a blog through many sources through search engines, referral sites and some directly.

When a new reader comes to blog, he wants to leave his identity and impression on the blog with few words which we call comment. Those comments can be praising the blog, author of blog or criticizing.
A comment should compliment the blog rather than making comments just for the sake of back links. It has surprised me that even professional bloggers, who blogs beautiful posts fails to make a decent comment related to post.
What a blog author expects in a comment
- Comment should be on the topic posted in the post.
- Comment should give more ideas to author.
- Commentator should asks some doubts on the posts.
Here below 3 poor, worst and boring comments no blogger wants to see
1.”Thanks”
2.”Very Nice.”
3.”I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

LOL these are good examples of bad comments. Well, I should say that I think sometimes it's okay to just say, "Great job," but there would have to be a certain reason for it, like if you really didn't know what else to say AND you knew that the person who wrote the article really just missed you and wanted you to stop by.
Boring is as boring does. No need to be boring.
There are rare cases where readers find no words to post comments like great job, it's ok but lot are escaping by using those. Because these comments getting more common now.
