   When a website is entered by a visitor under the comments section, does that help their Google page ranking or does it help my page ranking too?
   Thank you.

   As far as I know - neither. The link is automatically rendered as "no-follow".

   Put it in another way, does it help in building backlinks? If someone leaves their website info under comments on my site does that count as a backlink for them?
   Thank you.

   As esmi says, the link is usually a 'nofollow', so it wouldn't count as a backlink for them.

   i think its a backlink. there isnt any juice for google if its nofollow. its still a backlink. besides, there are other search engines.
