I'm running a little experiment at the moment.

I've got a website that is just my name eg JohnSmith.com, it doesn't even rank in the top 100 for my name.

I'm going to drop 100 exact match anchor d0follow blog comments on DA40+, moderated websites and see what happens.

These are all clean legit blogs with very very low obl, I'm often the only comment.

Hoping it pops into the top 100 at least. I don't believe blog comments are totally dead yet but we'll see.

Will update in a month or so :-)

There is a casestudy already that showed how it 100% affects ranking in a good way :)
don't remember the website (maybe Neil Patel?) but if you do a quick search is out there.

Does it matter if the blogs uses disqus, would it make sense to comment on blogs with integrated disqus?

Probably because in this case it makes a lot of sense for a person to use their name when commenting, more senses then leaving a comment with a long tail keyword or something else.

Edit: Just saw your answer too @jamie3000 after posting...
 
Well, I dopped my 100th comment today.

AHREFS has picked up around 30 already.

My rankings are 25-35 for my name but the cool part is that I forgot I also added an IT keyword into my website's title and content so I'm ranking for that too.

So just to recap. This website has hardly any content, about 2 paragraphs. Zero backlinks apart from the high DA (35-80) do follow blog comments with my name as the anchor and its popped into the top 100, now bouncing around 25-35 for most of the terms in the page title I was aiming for.

Blog comments still work if they are do follow, moderated, HQ blogs with strong link profiles and low OBL.
 
How were you finding these sites with low obl? Are they all niche relevant or general websites
