I'm having a hard time finding blogs in my niches.

You can use Google to find related blogs. Below are few examples:

"Add comment" Your Keywords
"Post comment" Your Keywords
“Write comment” Your Keywords
Your Keywords “leave a comment” / “leave comment”
Your Keywords “Notify me of follow-up comments?"+"Submit the word you see below:"
Your Keywords “Remember my personal information" + "Notify me of follow-up comments?"
Your Keywords "Notify me of follow-up comments"
Your Keywords “This site uses KeywordLuv"
Your Keywords "Enable CommentLuv"
Your Keywords "You can use these tags"
Your Keywords “Powered by BlogEngine.NET"
Your Keywords “Allowed HTML tags:"
Your Keywords “top commenter"

Hope this helps.

Search Digg, or a similar Social Bookmarking site.
A lot of those will be nofollow though.

Im Having the Same problem in a different sense im trying to baclink from other blogs but havent the foggeyest clue on how to do this any suggestions

[RichardF]

The most successful way for me has been to search Google for competitive keywords (like popular Clickbank niches) and then feeding the sites that are ranking into SEO Spyglass. After that you can sort out all the dofollow backlinks they have, and look for blogs in there. I actually found around ~50 new dofollow blogs just yesterday with this method. Takes a TON of time though, probably around 5-6 hours..

[GuerrillaIM]

I like fast blog finder. It detects dofollow blogs and orders by pagerank.

I love blog commenting, I'm actually here because I was going to ask if anyone had used Scrapebox and Blog Comment Demon - and there's another tool, CommentHut. Scrapebox is mainly a mass comment tool - but I wouldn't recommend that nor use it for that purpose.

What I'd use it for (and recommend to those wondering about finding blogs) is to harvest the URLs of blogs given a keyword or other parameters. The other thing all these tools do is allow you to sort by DoFollow or NoFollow, by footprint, and by PageRank.

ScrapeBox is a known spam tool, the other two aren't (they don't allow mass commenting), but all of them rock at finding blogs.

Hope that helps.

In the meantime, looking for the footprints that were mentioned is a great way to go about it. And if you're looking for the max link juice, look for the:

CommentLuv enabled
KeywordLuv enabled
Recent Comments
Top Commentator(s)

The reason is that they all tend to be A) Looking for comments, B) Many are DoFollow, C) the last two will usually mean that your comments will multiply in the Yahoo! index, so 1 or 2 comments can turn into dozens or hundreds.

This happens because the sidebar displays the recent comments, and your name is a link going to your site on every single page in the index.

Lately, because I'm NOT a proud owner yet of any of the three tools I named (I think Blog Comment Demon is the cheapest, unless you shop in other forums for a Scrapebox special) - I've just been looking for:

"Latest Comments"+"Keywords"

or similar (as mentioned above). Works great, I wouldn't worry about PageRank - just comment. I open up 10-15 at a time and comment.

You know what...I'll just post about this on my blog. This is ridiculous (sorry for the long comment).

[easyppcmoney]

use blogcommet software.

THere are many around.

BC is great way to get BL. BUt need to be on same nich blogs!!!

hope this helps

[pethanks]

Blog commenting is one of my favorite way to create links. The above suggestions of some warriors are very helpful.

[robbertpenny]

Try this one: "powered by (any blogging platform)"+"your keyword"+"leave a comment"

[derh]

[Abhinandangarg]

i agreed with chandan,
if you find some blog comment sites and just collect your competitors urls and check their backlinks

[socialbookmark]

I suggest fast blog finder for finding blogs for commenting on them. It has both free and paid versions and in both versions it finds blogs for your keywords and it separate blogs by dofollow or nofollow

[bradleywill]

Search Google for "Top Health [replace with your niche] Blogs" and there should be lists already built for you to piggyback off of. Then raid the blogrolls of each of the blogs on there because they are usually in the same industry. Hope that helps.

I'm bookmarking this thread!

[johnharvard]

Go to yahoo site explorer and enter one of your competitors sites and click "explore". The links to the site will be displayed and you can find many blogs in your niche that you know will be linked.

[blazr63]

Something I've been doing lately is commenting on Reddit. The links don't follow, so useless for SEO, but they do drive traffic.

[oceantide24]

You guys are amazing. thanks for the do follow SE

Thanks For the link... Its much better for finding dofollow blogs.

[JamestheJust on Elance]

Re: Lisa Parmley's "DoFollow Diver" tool - it's just a Google Custom Search search bar. The way that works is that you, the webmaster, go to Google's Custom Search and enter the URLs of the websites that you want to include.

So, when someone goes to Lisa's DoFollow Diver, (at InlineSEO.com - she's awesome, by the way!) you are only looking through her list of blogs that she's personally scraped for her own commenting, etc.

The trouble with it is that it's not extensive - there are only so many targets in there. The problem is that certain webmasters who are savvy enough trace where you were referred from, and they can tell you're from a "Do Follow" custom search engine...

And not all are 100% happy with that. I recently used it and WOW. Got into a flame war with someone using language that would make most pirates and Navy Seals blush - all for commenting!

So, just be aware that this is what you're talking about, it's not all of Google's index.

If you want a great way to find niche specific blogs, besides all the methods mentioned - you can use a blog directory, like Technorati, or like DMOZ or the Yahoo! directory.

Find your category and dive in, if you don't want to sift through Google's own "Blog" feature in the sidebar.

Just put in your KW's and select "Blogs" in the sidebar, works well. (Not to say you shouldn't use Lisa's tool - just beware that not all of the blogs are still DoFollow, and if you read her page, she asks you not to comment spam, I don't think everyone bothers with Lisa's message but keep it in mind.)

[thebitbotdotcom]

An even more effective method would be to find blogs related to your niche with extremely low Alexa ranks (low is good in this case), read the article, leave an insightful comment regardless of whether it is dofollow or not and get targeted traffic.

[Dynamosh]

use blogsearch.com

and use your keywords, then "Search Blogs"

[m.izzy15]

chandan_dutt thanks for the help. This worked for me.

[caliean]

Even I think that checking for the competitors backlinks and using them as a blog commenting will be really useful, I have tried this and was surprised to see the results, my keywords were at quite a good position.

Use a free blog commenting software, it will search do follow blogs in your niche. Blog commenting is very good for traffic and backlinks. Just don't spam, add value and it is a great strategy.

Question:

Which...? Comment Kahuna? Do you have one in mind?

[seokiller]

Also try Social Bookmarking and Forum Posting..

[LiamMcArthur]

Relevant blogs that aren't using rel="nofollow" on their hyperlinks, as well as being a regular, relevant commentee and not spamming 1000's of blogs with irrelevant, pointless comments for a linkback - Google will ignore these (the majority of the time).

E.g: If you're trying to build links for a website about dogs, find blogs about dogs providing a relevant comment that people won't ignore.

[Kate Crinsler]

Yes blog commenting is very essential for getting back links but it should be do follow as Google bot does not like no follow links.

[keyideas]

At first find the dofollow links and comment properly with your real name that will attract the user towards your website.

[kea55]

They sell good lists of high pr blogs at places like fiverr. I got a great one on there. It had about 3,000 sites listed

[The Web Master]

I usually go for any kind of blog comment software, hope this helps a little :]

[jslee]

There are tons of useful info here, especially thanks to Claycath. I have just check the free software. It is pretty good. Blog commenting is a tough work. Everyone should know that.

[claycath]

Thanks jslee, you made my day!

[AdamPeterson]

I always use Google blog search facility to get my niche related blogs and I do comment on the blogs without considering dofollow or nofollow, My target it to get good relationship with the blog owner and once that is archived, he/she normally never hesitated to give me a back-link from his/her main blog page apart from the links via blog comments.

[ameerulislam10]

you can use this too Drop My Link - Find sites to create backlinks on

[GeraldGigerl]

Leave blog comments consistently on sites such as:
wordpress, blogger, flickr, edu/gov sites etc..
Use these search parameter to find relevant sites:

site:blogspots.com keyword
site:edu "comments" keyword
etc..

Build these links consistently, and you
will reap the rewards soon!

[SeanSupplee]

Commenting on others blogs does not count as a SEO backlink they all have nofollow tags on them.

[Captain Dynamo]

Huh?

There are plenty "do follow" blogs for commenting... there's even a list of like 500,000 of them given out in a recent post.
