    No, Google has no idea who makes the comments. As far as Google knows a WP comment is part of an article or any other text on the page.

    If you're basing your business practices on whether or not you get caught then you've got bigger problems than Google finding out.

    No..there is no bad effect on your site by Google.
    Even Google doesn't identify if you make comment using another id & pass.

    Yea to be honest why do you want to spam your own blog with fake comments? That's about 3 steps below using fake testimonials in my opinion, but just my thoughts...

        The key here is the word in your title "FAKE". I don't think you are going to get too much help from the members of this forum with this. This site is all about ethical marketing that doesn't include any misleading or devious trickery.
        Good luck with your business though.

            I think that would have been better than "fake".

            Nothing wrong with commenting on your own website.

            I just wouldn't call it fake. Be genuine.

            Just post some relevant comments about whatever your site is about and that should get the ball rolling for you.

            You want to start out being "real" and not "fake".

            Good Luck

          Get real! :rolleyes:

          I get PMs all the time asking me to post a testimonial in a WSO that I've never heard about! I don't do it, but I still get asked, which tells me the WSO author will simply move on to the next guy for a review.

          Your dreaming If you think that doesn't happen here.

            Allowing comments is dumb. Putting fake comments is even dumber.

            Dumb and dumberer.

            Why would you want to encourage people to spam you?

            Allowing comments on a site that depends on google, is a site
            that is just not listening to google. They don't even want adsense
            on such pages...(note: this is not referring to mega-sites like
            yahoo, huff post, etc.)

        Keyword-loaded comments will help, especially if you use anchor text, as well. Google cannot tell the difference.

        When you're a newbie, you do what you gotta do, buddy. Hopefully, you'll get to a point some day where you won't have to worry about commenting your own blogs, and I wish you much luck in that endeavor.

    Making fake comments is in the grey zone.

    Lets say you have a post with a list of 20 good image websites.
    Make a comment in a different name that adds one more to the list wont do any harm.

    Do a search on google Maybe you are writing in a way that don't engage people enough.

    Wait a minute, you want to comment on your own site in hopes of higher SERP rankings???? Or are you looking to increase user participation on your own site??

    Please tell me it's the latter, because the way your OP is worded...
