Viral Blog Comments
Posted 10-25-2011 at 06:57 PM by dadamson
I actually discovered this tip accidentally when one of my blog commenters (I am a big outsourcer) made a simple comment that was approved on a PR2 blog post for one of my clients.
My client emailed me asking why he had literally hundreds of backlinks from same domain over the last couple of weeks.
I looked into it and realized that the one blog comment was added to the sidebar of the website and therefore gave the client 100′s of dofollow, related backlinks that really boosted him in the SERPs.
The website we were backlinking was competing for various launch keywords during a competitive launch of a mobile marketing product in March, so you can imagine the kind of competition!
This site was playing around 5th and 6th position, it had previously been on position 1 but only for 24 hours, it has also been jumping to the bottom of page 2 aswell.
After this link ‘blast’, the page was at number 1 and is now consistently sitting there even after the backlinks have dropped off (due to new comments pushing our comment off the sidebar).
I’m not saying this one ‘viral’ comment, gave us number one rankings, but I definitely believe that it was a huge contribution!
Also, through experience, the fact that hundreds of these backlinks ‘drop off’ after new comments are added has not affected the rankings one bit! After getting these comments published I usually receive a hefty increase in rankings and no penalizations or loss of rank when the links drop off.
The trick is to find the blogs that contain the “recent comments” widget in the first place.. and these are few and far between. Next, you should try to find “dofollow” blogs for a bigger SEO affect. That said, I would never pass down the opportunity of commenting on a no-follow blog just for that reason!
Get yourself a plugin for Firefox called nodofollow and follow our blog comments guide here.
Now, repeat that process with an extra tag such as “recent comments”, here is my Google search:
So once you find a blog post to comment on (for this technique you don’t necessarily need to find a high PR comment as the purpose is to get your comment viral across the entire blog), you should check that a Recent Comments widget actually exists on the sidebar.
Once you have confirmed there is one, quickly check that the comments listed contain a name or keyword, if some have links to external sites that’s perfect, if not, the commentors may not be commenting for the purpose of backlinks. – Check that the Add Comment section contains a field to enter your web address (as explained in the blog comments guide).
Ok, so now it’s time to create your comment
Remember, make it legit and spend some time to research the post and ADD TO THE DISCUSSION!
