Success is in the mind of the beholder.
Measuring the success of a blog can be quite ambiguous and it should be based on the long term and short-term goals of the individual or business.
Consider how you measure the success of your blog.
Is it by…

the number of comments?
the Retweets?
the links from other bloggers to your posts?
How you assign a value on any one of these items depends on WHY you…

CommentLuv is a wonderful blogging tool and I’ve been using it to cross promote my blogs when replying to comments. It’s very easy to do.
