If you manage an active blog where lots of comments are posted each day, you will find it easier to jump to pending comments page for a post from your homepage.

Add the following code in your theme functions file (functions.php) which will add a link to pending comments page with number of pending comments directly below the post content.

add_filter('the_content', array($this, 'pendingCommentsQuickLink'));

function pendingCommentsQuickLink($content)
{
	if(current_user_can('moderate_comments')) {
		global $wpdb;

		/*
		 * Fetch Pending Comments from Database
		 */
		$pendingComments = $wpdb->get_var('SELECT COUNT(*) AS pendingComments FROM '.$wpdb->comments.' WHERE comment_post_ID = '.get_the_id().' AND comment_approved = 0 AND comment_approved != "spam"');

		$content .= '<p>';

		/*
		 * Parse Pending Comments
		 */
		if($pendingComments):
		$content .= ' <a class="pendingCommentsLink" href="'.get_bloginfo('wpurl').'/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?comment_status=moderated&p='.get_the_id().'">Pending Comments ('.$pendingComments.')</a>';
		endif;

		$content .= '</p>';
	}
	return $content;
}

How does it look like?
