Now, I have not actually tested this because I was only interested in displaying the extra comments link on the main index page but the documentation tends to be fairly reliable when it comes to WordPress.

Often times there are plenty of people reading that do not comment, but they do follow links from the people that do comment. Plus it is a great way to establish a relationship with the owner of the blog, assuming that they actually respond and begin a dialog.
