Concerning Blog Commenting?

by betterwtveter
17 replies
I have been blog commenting in the on the main blogs on the top page of google search. It takes a little bit more time to comment and leave my signature on my profile. I have a blogger account for my blogs and is it better to comment on blogs on blogger so other users on blogger can subscribe and comment on my blogs or should I still comment on these top tops on the search engine. I know it is a dumb question, but does not hurt to ask.

    I would keep it varied (blogger among others) so long as the platform allows you to link back to your blog all is well. I would try to keep the comments to relevant blogs as well, so that you can get more followers/subscribers.

    It is probably the best to comment on multiple blog platforms, not just blogger, but don't spam too much because it could actually hurt your rankings.

      I am not spamming, and I am going to relevant searches that are keyword related to my site. So it works out pretty well.

    I've noticed with Blogger, they seem to have their own little community so commenting on Blogger blogs will help it get spread throughout their community.

    But you should also comment on the authoritative sites not on Blogger, too.

    Are you doing it to get direct traffic or are you doing it for SEO? If direct traffic, I would focus more on specificity of both the blog and the specific post you are commenting on. If SEO, then I'd focus on niche-specificity and if the blog is DO FOLLOW.

      To me, it makes no difference at all whether or not it's no-follow.

      I have the Firefox one-click toy installed to check them, and I still don't bother to look, because it doesn't affect me, either way. Most search engines seem to ignore "no-follow".

      Many people believe that even Google doesn't discount "no-follow" nearly as much as it sometimes claims: it's ambiguous at best.

      People who have already decided that "no-follow" backlinks are not so good for SEO may not be interested, but others will find many threads here explaining/discussing some interesting things about no-follow links: this one might start you off, and then there's more here, here, here, here, here, and so on.

        I agree with this. I have ranked pages at the top of the serps with just nofollow links. I specifically did so as a tester.

        I am starting to tend to agree with you on NoFollow / DoFollow. I'm not quite sure it matters as much as most say.

        And at the very least getting a mixture of the two will give you some diversity.

    Agree with everyone else. Spread out your comments on various platforms. If you're commenting for traffic then make sure you're leaving comments recent posts from active, niche related blogs.

    For backlinks it doesn't matter as much. Just mix it up. DoFollow, NoFollow, PR, no PR, etc.

    If you've got a Blogger blog, stick to commenting on other Blogger blogs.

    Don't worry too much about specifics. Just comment on blogs that are interesting to you and leave a real comment. At worst, it gets you a link that "may or may not" be good for SEO. At best, it sparks a discussion and adds value to the conversation.

      In my experience this will severely decrease your approval rate.

    Definitely comment on other blogs related to your niche. Keep it varied.

    Here are a few things I'd keep in mind when blog commenting:

    1. Leave comments on blogs that are related to your niche
    2. Don't focus on whether or not these blogs are "dofollow" or "nofollow"
    3. Remember it's a numbers game (that doesn't mean using automated software)
    4. Be proactive, comment on other blogs and you will be rewarded (they'll reciprocate)
    5. Be patient
