Google Alerts & Blog Commenting

[AudioRoxor]

Google Alerts seems to make the most sense to use when blog commenting. They're new blogs, I can comment early on relatively active blogs, better chance of getting approved. Almost all the links are nofollow, but I'm not really worried about that, I just keep commenting.

There seems to be a lot of autoblogs or blogs with scraped content on them, do you guys bother commenting on these?

Do you guys use an search operators in the google alert to get a certain blog? Or to better your results?

I usually just set the alert to blogs, give me all posts, and have it sent to my google reader account.

Any tips for using Google Alerts for blog commenting will be helpful.

Thanks!

Everyone here at dabwire has come to the consensus that blog commenting is no longer effective in our marketing strategies rather we focus mainly on article distribution to document sharing sites.

when distributing your content it is very important to make sure it's high quality and very unique. Otherwise it is pointless as you must know and have run into with blog commenting.

One thing good about Google alerts and distributing your content would be to find related websites and invite yourself to be a just writer.

Well I haven't run into it because I find article distribution ineffective. I'm actually repurposing all of my content into slideshows, videos, podcasts, pdfs, etc and distributing them as well. All of my articles are unique, but I don't spin them.

I'm doing blog commenting just to switch things up.

Thanks for your input, though.

I've been using Google Alerts for blog commenting also. For the keywords I'm targeting I am receiving alerts pretty regularly for articles and blogs that I can leave a comment on. Unfortunately most are nofollow but now and then you find some that are follow....

It's a pretty easy way to get backlinks so I will continue this.

Hi all

What are blog comments?.



Underneath most blog posts is an area for visitors to leave a comment about each post. Blog comment are a critical part of a successful blog, and area bloggers must understand and focus on to creat a very great blog.


The Purpose of Blog Comments



Blog comments are what make a blog more social and interactive.The most popular blogs are the ones that have a very interactive and social blog, which make blogs become a powerful component of the social web.

Undeniably, people like to feel involved. Leaving a blog allow readers to join on the conversation about a topic that interest them.

Through blog comments you can build quality, one-way links back to your site. Over time, this will help to increase your search engine rankings and traffic.
Thanks.

I usually don't spend time commenting on blogs that I know are just scraped content, since they're probably low quality blogs that will never get a PR jump.

There's a better way to do this, though. If you've got Scrapebox.

If you're looking for niche related blogs, enter as many keywords as you can think of into the keyword scraper. By the time SB is done generating new keywords, you will potentially have a few thousand to work with.

Next, set Scrapebox to search "results from the past 24 hours" in Google. Don't even select any of the other engines. This will bring up a TON of recent posts if you've got enough keywords.

But don't stop there. Check the "domain" PR of the posts to see if there's any high PR blogs. You can then manually check out the high PR blogs and see if they're DoFollow, if there's other people commenting, etc.

You can usually find a good amount of PR4+, niche related blogs that are frequently updated by doing this.

Don't forget to look at the other posts and I'll bet you'll find a handful that are PR1 or higher. (Scrapebox can automate this.)

I know a lot of people think of SB as just a "blog spamming" tool. But this shows that it can be used for almost anything with a little imagination.

Thank you! I do have Scrapebox and I understand it well... but thought it might have been a waste of time because I'd just be finding older blogs to comment on that probably aren't moderated anymore. Thanks for the tip!
