Blog Commenting

Link building can be done quickly and effectively through blog commenting you can target related blogs in seconds and receive backlinks from high page ranked sites within days. Not only does blog commenting produce high quality backlinks but it also produces traffic obviously, this depends on whether or not the blog is popular however I only target blogs which are very popular.

You can also use Google blog search http://blogsearch.google.com/ to find blogs relevant to your website.

However I strongly advise you to ensure the comments are relevant to the article, that they portray some sort of opinion or that they are of use to the website owner and other readers. Don’t just go spamming every blog you come across because it would just be a waste of time as most blogs that are worth commenting on are using some sort of spam filter within their blog not only this but other dedicated readers will highlight your spam comment to the article writer or website owner and therefore the time it had taken you to produce the comments was wasted. Also if you are primarily looking for backlinks and see traffic as only a bonus you will need to ensure that the blog is dofollow, this means that the link that you leave will be counted as a backlink.

Instead use the blogs that you read daily or weekly currently, instead of just reading the article and going to another article or another website state your opinion on the topic, add some more detail to the topic or ask the writer a question this way you still receive a backlink and you will probably receive traffic from the blog also. As a bonus if you find a blog site with the “Top commentator” plug in you can try and become the top commentator by spending a week or two commenting on articles which you found useful and insightful.

Overall blog commenting is a technique for link building that I use continuously however I do not seek blogs to comment on I just use the blogs that I read daily and weekly to comment on. This way I become a avid reader and loyal user of the blog, the article writer or website owner may start to notice me and appreciate my comments they may feel more inclined to answer any questions I have or mention me in an article (now that would be good).

Another advantage of blog commenting that i have just thought of whilst copying this article in to a html document ready to upload, is if you are targeting the highly popular blog sites that are relevant to your website you will not only get the backlink but also a proportion of that web pages pagerank juice will also be sent to your website. Therefore if you take blog commenting as one of your main strategies for link building you will most probably see knock on effects of the comment in months and years to come, not only short term but long term effects.

I hope this article was of use to yourself, if you have any other advantages or disadvantages of blog commenting that you think I have not highlighted or mentioned please just leave a comment.

    This was a great article! Commenting is an area that I need to work more on. I have been doing it a little but have basicly taken the shotgun approach. I think your advice would be wise to focus on a few blogs. I can see how this save tons of quality time.

    I was wondering though, how can I tell if the blog site is dofollow?

    As standard comments on wordpress sites are automatically “No follow” so its a good indicator that most sites which use wordpress wont be “do follow”. However you can check by viewing the page source Right click page > View page source (View source).

    Scroll down until you see some sort of code which looks familiar to this

    This shows that the site your currently viewing is no follow. The main reason most bloggers enforce their sites to be no follow is to decrease the likelyhood that people will take advantage of this for example spammers.

    Hope this helps.
