How To Find Blogs With Google

Hi,

After a recent comment on another thread I got several requests via PM asking how to find blogs and sites that you can post links on.

So here's the basics. Google has certain operators that make for a more advanced search. For instance I can search for .edu sites that have the word "Blog" in the title by using this command:

or you could use this string to find the actual pages that want you to post a comment:
I'm not so fussed about .edu domains. So I would look for blogs related to my niche. For instance in the diet niche I could use

That should give you the basics. A list of search operators can be found here:

Just play around with stuff in different combinations and its easy to find hundreds of sites a day that allow you to post a link.

Get this firefox plugin and it will tell you if its dofollow or not.

Although on nofollow blogs i enter the html in my comment like <a href="http://thisismysite.com">this is my keyword</A> and the search engines seem to count it as a link.

To stop it getting removed I put the comment like:

Hi,

Great post. Blah blah blah I did something exactly like that once.

"John Doe's Widgets"
<a href="http://thisismysite.com">this is my keyword</A>

Hope thats food for thought. Play around with different combinations and you should be good. Or you could hire someone for $4 an hour from odesk to do this for you.
