Dear gentlemen, tonight I´d like to show you how to find really really authoritative blog pages for manual/semimanual commenting.
Backlinks you will get this way will be mostly "nofollow" but the level of authority and therefor the value of the backlinks will be enormous, every SEO here knows that Google´s not always practicing what it´s preaching.
We will need an AHREFs account (or some group buy SEO account I´ll leave this up to you) and we will need Scrapebox. Scrapebox is not mandatory but it will take a lot of time without it.
To find such top blog pages we first need some high authority website. You can choose some niche authority in your industry but for this demonstration I will use a general high authority website, let´s say CHICAGOTRIBUNE COM.
Launch your AHREFS and go to backlinks. Tribune has 24M backlinks from 246k domains, to tame this amount little down we will use a few filters AHREFS offers.
First we will be satisfied with only "one link per domain" this way we are offered some 241k backlinks.
We are interested in blogs only so we will use Platforms = Blogs which leaves us with some 87,5k backlinks.
I am interested in english language blogs (73,7k) but choose your preferred language if necessary.
Now, we are looking for some really vivid pages and not some dead and obscure places (no sculls @Doctor Sleep ), thats why we will filter only pages with at least 20 (choose your number) visists per month. Some topics and articles attract literally thousands of visitors and some barely get 5 people, but definitely we want some live traffic. And even though everyone would love to get a backlink right from the home page, let´s be honest free homepage backlinks from 90DA websites are quite rare, that´s why we will try to set the filters so that we get high authority article pages - and we will include dash "-" in the URL of the referring page. And here we are with 2235 backlinks.

You can play a bit with other filters if you want to and with ordering. I love my results filetered by number of backlinks to that particular page.
Why? I assume that pages that have many backlinks will attract even more backlinks in the future, which means their value will grow.
Pages with many backlinks also are less sensitive to any changes in quality.
Third reason is that I believe that value of the sites that link to these pages will grow over time, which results in stronger backlinks to our money site.
So.
Let us export the results now.
Next, we will head to our best software friend - Scrape Box - and we will find if there are any commenting possibilities there.
@loopline , @Sweetfunny you can make a video guide for this.
If you don´t have SB at hand, you can manually check every page for comment box, but it´s painful.
We will use a free SB addon called "Scrapebox Page Scanner 64bit".

First we need to create new set of footprints.
We will click "new" at the bottom of the page and create 4 new footprints.
Note that the name of the footprint is the same as the footprint itself (its content).

Then load the URLS from the AHREFS report, and run the addon.
When it´s finished (takes some time), export the results.
You will get something like this:

Order the results and export them (or vice versa).
Now you have a list of high authority blog pages with real traffic and lot of backlinks that accept comments.
If you need just a sure shot, you can create another SB footprint - website - and run it, you will filter out all sites that accept website url in the comment form.
And that´s it. The only thing you need is to comment and create backlinks. Do it manually or automate, itś up to you. You can end up with gems like these:

Play with this method a bit and let me know your experience.
