How to do proper blog commenting?

Irsan Komarga · 10-14-2009, 04:38 AM

I can't find the guide how to do blog commenting properly.
Anyone have any tips and samples on how to do blog commenting, specifically related to using comment kahuna.

The main thing is to post RELEVANT comments that arent spammy. Usually the username that you use for the comment becomes your link to your page when you submit the comment.

Couldn't agree more Mr. Clark.
I was about to create a post in my blog concerning the culture of deceit that has been created by the "quality of content and back links" demand of certain search engines.
It causes unscrupulous individuals to use robots to send out spam back links by the millions every day, and that pisses me off!
I don't recommend using a robot. Instead, when I approach blog comments, I create real, quality, and relevant comments.
This is consistent with my........

Your username when you make a comment should be an anchor text. Don't waste your efforts by putting in your name. Make the username whatever keyword you want to target.

I'm going to disagree with Michael here. Always use your name as the name in the comment. If I see a keyword in a comment on any of my blogs, it's deleted immediately and I don't really care how much time someone took to write it.

If you want to waste your time commenting on low quality blogs where the owner doesn't care, then go ahead and use your keyword, but you're better off finding a few high quality blogs to participate in as a real person.

Just my two cents on this,

Gary

I think keywords will help IF you can get away with it; just track if your post actually gets posted on a particular blog using them.. Personally on my blogs, in most cases, if it's a half-way intelligent comment, I'll still keep the comment.

I like to just change the name (keywords) though because I think it looks tacky and spammy.. not that I care, but I think my other commenters and visitors would see them that way and that reflects on the professionalism of my blog..

..if your name is in your e-mail that's what I use.. otherwise I just make something up. Even had Hedwig post some comments on my blog the other day.. a morf-ation of someone's e-mail. Whooooo knew Owls could type!!

I don't agree, That will make your comment look spammy..,
Just write comment that look like it's relevant to the blog post then use html with smile on your anchor text to your main site

ex <a href="http://www.yoursite.com">

</a>

after all you will get link juice for that method..

Cheers,
Vaan

It's pretty pointless to comment then...unless you want to rank for your name. My comments get accepted 95% of the time, and i comment on a LOT of blogs. So, it's certainly not a waste of time.

JasonValens · 10-16-2009, 10:33 AM

1.Find high traffic and / or dofollow blogs

2.Post relevant comments, related to the topic and not promoting a product

3.For first post use your first name in author name, with your link

If published then:

4.For later posts on the same site insert keywords following author name,with your link

If published then:

5.For later posts on the same site insert keywords in author name

I don't allow keywords as the poster name (link) because even if the comment is intelligent, it just encourages the idiots.

The only exception for me is if someone uses their domain name or site name as the anchor text. Even then, the comment has to be relevant and useful.

aboutalhah · 10-16-2009, 04:47 PM

In fact, it will depend about the blog. Generally, do follow blog don't see a problem with anchor text.

As for 'normal' blogs, you need to see if the post is moderated. The first time, just use your name. If it's not moderated and is instantly approved, then the second time, try your anchor, add the url in a notepad.

As for moderated blogs, this is another story.

There are some very high-PR blogs that you can leave comments on. Even if you only have 6-10, post a comment a day on each (that adds to the discussion) and you'll see great benefits.

I've found some very high-PR blogs with nofollow and even if they don't improve my ranking, they contribute to the natural complexion of my backlinks. Google may not have a problem with 3,000 links that are all dofollow, but adding some nofollows can actually help (from my experience). Plus, it can scare off potential competitors who use tools that grab data from the Yahoo backlink database (just about all of them); Yahoo! Site Explorer shows all backlinks, nofollow and dofollow.

To find dofollow blogs, you could analyse the backlinks for spam sites. I've found some really interesting places to leave links by doing so.

Not blog related: one very interesting sequence to go through, and it HELPS to be more spammy:
1. Post a comment on Digg (with a URL) that is clearly spam.
2. Get Dugg down about 100 times or more.
3. Get account deleted (it will happen quickly).

Result:
Your comment stays in place even after your account is disabled.
Your comment appears on dontcensorme.com if it gets 'buried' enough.
You get two backlinks from high-PR sites, albeit URL only (no keyword). It is good to have URL-anchored backlinks for about 5-10% of your total links for a page.

This is just one strategy, of course. I've picked up hundeds of ways to gain links by following spam sites ritually, as I'm sure we all have. Putting them to use and developing a system that complements a white hat SEO strategy? That's another thread.
