This is a very good approach. Whilst creating content can give you higher % rewards, it is quite a reactive process, you are at the mercy of others to read or resteem your post (I came across this post via a resteem) or if you're lucky enough for it to come up when people search for a tag.
Commenting, especially in a quality manner is more proactive, going out to promote yourself and showing people what you can bring to the community can have surprising effects sometimes.
Thanks so much for the insight and it's very encouraging that you came across the post via a resteem... Is there anyway a user can see how many resteems or whom resteemed their post?? I thought there used to be a way but can't seem to figure it out now - thanks again.
I follow @boxcarblue so you have him to thank!
I use this to check resteems.

Same here. I saw it resteemed from @boxcarblue
