Blog commenting - what it really takes?

[sharrydan]

Thank you for all your comments!

No, I am not sick on commenting, and the story is not that much about commenting as such than about that terrible feel of being blocked.

I find a nice blog with fresh comments. I spend some time and write, to the best of my understanding, a nice comment, click Submit. That comment vanishes. The next day I see even newer comments, but mine is not there.

I move on to the next nice blog, submit - it vanishes.

I move to the next - vanishes.
I move to the next - vanishes.
I move to the next - vanishes.....

I write an article, a nice fresh new article. I go to an article site and try to submit. There comes something a la 'Please correct the following: null'. I revise the article, rehash, remove each and every link from author box even if they are allowed, press Submit - the same error.

I move on to the next article site - very similar outcome.

I create forum profiles with no links, no signatures, nothing. I verify the links from the e-mails and am able to log on to my new profile. When I come back within a couple of days, they are gone, those profiles.

I am not saying that this happens in 100% situations. There are some spaces in between, oh yes, there are. About 10% roughly. See this forum, for example

Did I say that I was getting tired?

So I asked myself a question whether pushing forward in IM is as hard for everyone? Was that the real cost of success? Or, maybe, only those are successful who manage to find a way round?

What if that had something to do with my personality? There could well be some small catches every place that everyone else sees and acts on but I am not seeing them so I fall trough the sieve?

...or what, what on earth that could be?

Having listened to what warriors say, and having done some research here and there, I conclude with great relief that the problem does not follow my personality. It seems to be following either my ISP's gateway IP or, however sad it may sound, my country of residence.

I now plan to build a new 'identity' for myself with everything new - e-mails, websites, screen name etc. And I will try to remember to always use proxy whenever I submit something.

I will be back here to let you know how it works.

Thanks again.

Just an observation. If it takes you too long to type a comment, sometimes it vanishes. Try typing your comment in a Word doc, refreshing the page and pasting it into the blog... Might help

if you are in the online casinos or gaming or any other industry that is a little on the darker side, that may be one reason. another one may be that you try to include the back link. just post a quick and normal sentence and I think that your comments may be too long and therefore it is not going through. make it short sweet and to the point..gluck

I am trying to learn how to do that right way. I search for blogs that accept comments, I read them and always try to contribute to the conversation.

Yet, on 90% of blogs, all my writings, each of which takes from 15 to 45 minutes, are simply gone as soon as I press the Submit button. And they never appear on the blog. The usual result that I see is comments before and after the date I have tried to post mine. And that's always the same, no matter how long I wait. My comments simply do not appear there even if I check back after a month or two.

So, if I work hard enough for about 12 hours, all I manage to harvest is just 2 or 3 comments that stick.

I know that commenting takes both time and effort. But the way it works for me seems, hmm, a little too tough.

I need to say all at once that I never spam, I do my best to contribute. But my comments do not appear even on blogs where there are tons of spam comments before and after my attempt.

Can anyone comment on this? What can I possibly be doing wrong?

So for example, here is a blog stuffed with spam comments so that it could not be worse.

blog.lib.umn.edu/raim0007/RaeSpot/040259.html

I normally do not comment on this type of pages. But here I made an experiment. I tried to leave a comment on August 8. See what type of comments are accepted there before and after. But mine is not there. Why? And this is really typical for wherever I try.

So I wonder if anyone experiences something similar. Or, even better, anyone who has found the reason for such and way out?

Blog comments is not working nowadays, because before people abuse the power of blog commenting, since that time many web master disallow, disable and turn the comment box to nofollow.

Thank you, Rafay. So kind of you. I will give it a try.

No, I am not there, not even close.

Hmm, until now I have heard only antipodal opinion saying that longer posts are less likely to be disqualified as spam. Is it from your own experience or can you point to some source maintaining this idea?

Do they really win big doing so? My comment would be free content for them.

But spam is easy to segregate, is it not? Get some captcha type plugin and you have blocked 100% of black hat comments. Gray hat comments, those done with copy-paste method by a human, never come in large numbers. Just don't approve them, that's all.

Does NoFollow Blog Comments Matter IN Search Engine Rankings for our keywords ?

As an SEO Expert(just as what your sig says), shouldn't you be the one to know?

[Peter Lee]

Yes, I've used that as well but sometimes I tend to forget doing this extra step especially if I'm in the mood of doing lots of commenting. But when it happens I try to use the 'Back' button and take a look if I've done something wrong. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Well try that if you're in similar situation. You may get lucky.

Desperation, desperation and desperation.....

I am surprised that you can't find good 'dofollow' blogs in your niche (health), I found health one of the easiest ones. If you can't find pure health blogs, broaden the search to include general blogs with pages about health, they will be seen as related as well.

To my experience, you got to pick 'good' blogs; low outbound links, pages with pr (1-5 is not hard to find), and what I believe is very, very important, using related pages to your keyword phrase/word.

Hi, when you're doing Blog Commenting try to find good Google PageRank, DoFollow Blogs. I have stated some precise Advantages of DoFollow Blog Commenting but my personal favorite is Get Free High Quality Authority Backlinks

Lastly, when you're commenting on blogs try to make your comment "Constructive". It would be great if you could post a sample of your usual comments. Maybe we could then advise you better

Hi
I do blog comments for the websites, first we need to know the right categories and subcategories of niche; which is related to business. We can ask a question and participate in answers, which is helpful to others. I mean we need to involve in the conversation with the other users while commenting. You can use your name like sharrydan@abc.com and try to use commnet luv blog from that you are more benefited. This type of comments will be approved and you don't need to wait for so long.
