Anchor text in blog comments, yay or nay?

thedog · 06-01-2011, 10:17 PM

Hi guys.

Do you use anchor text in your blog comments?

I can't help that feel, no matter how relevant your comment is, this can look spammy, especially with long tail keywords.

I've heard it can be good to but, mr or guy at the end, or even an @ sign.

If you don't use anchor text... what kind of link juice is this? If your domain name is an EMD, will it rank for that keyword?

I am interested to see what people say about this. I have been using anchor text in my comments part of the time. But it seems like if you use anchor text as your name, so your site is hyper-linked to your keyword instead of the name you use, you are going to get your comment deleted a lot too. I don't know what you can do, other than just blast tens of thousands of comments.

I have tried article marketing and that doesn't seem to help much either. I don't know what else to do, other than start a new site with a different set of keywords. And I am not sure even that would work.

This is the back-bone of my SEO. Getting backlinks from high PR3, 4, 5 blog pages.
The trick I have found is to obviously leave a really relevant comment. If you can find the authors name, start off with "Hi Mike...etc etc". This will straight away tell them you are not a spam robot.
Then at the end of the comment I will write something like:

All the best
John Smith
Webmaster, mywebsite.com (without the www.)

The in the name I will write 'John - my keywords'

This has definitely helped me get a lot more of my posts approved.

Great advice... keep it coming warriors!

I am agree with TBInternetMarketing that if we write relevant comment, then chances are very high to get approved.

Spammers should send you a check for this.

If your comment is relevant and informative then there are many chances of approval.

peejaydee · 06-02-2011, 02:05 AM

I avoided using anchor text for a while because of the deletion risk, but I've recently gone back to it. As TBInternetMarketing said, the key to having the comment accepted and retained is in adding value to the page and the discussion and being a regular contributor. I have also found though, that once you start contributing under one name, attempting to change your name in futire comments will more often than not get your comment deleted. TBIMs approach of using the name and keywords might fix this though - nice advice.
For me then, it's a resounding yay, but with caveats.

It depends on blog owner decision. If he approves a comment with anchor text, then it can't be a spam. In offsite SEO methods, we make profiles in web 2.0 sites, forums to put the signature links. This also a kinda spamming.

i think it depends on your comment just used TBInternetMarketing.i think there is a chances there for a approval.

I never use anchor text in blog comment. We don't know about the blog's rules whether they allow anchor text or not. IF they are allowing, no problem at all. I use my name@keyword while commenting.

imdomination · 06-02-2011, 05:19 AM

I always use a website and anchor text for my comments and yeah, rarely gets disapproved because I always make the comments relevant.
