ok so i have wp site and i get a lot of comments, pretty much all spammy, anyway i get atleast 300 a day, they mostly have outside link, if i approve them will i get any traffic juice from it
 
I agree with above, it also probably hurting your SERP because google thinks your site is a junk site
 
Not only that (what above posters just said), any readers of your site will be instantly turned off from your content by seeing the sheer amount of spam crap under your posts. You will lose traffic, link juice, PR, and authority... there's nothing to gain by making your blog an auto approve spam piece of junk.
 
The social signals driven into your site when legitimate people comment can be valuable. Like, lots of activity showing up, with people to/from Facebook, may signal that your content is worth a discussion.

But otherwise, as far as links and traditional SEO go, nope, the comments can only hurt you.
 
before i would delete outside link and see which comments made sense, but now almost 2 weeks later i have 4K comments
 
Change your settings so you have to approve comments first. Install akismet.
 
You'll get some juice if the links are relevant, so the owner will visit your site. But not for spammy links.
