Ranked without any backlinks

Yes they have their link in the ankor text of their names. Most of them don't seem to have misspellings, but I already knew they were just spam to get backlinks from me.

The problem I'm facing here though is: Should I just ignore them or should I get a couple of them accepted. On one hand its spam. But on the other hand I really need some comments on my site. And they are so positive of my site, wouldn't that gain the trust of potential buyers?

I guess my question really is:
Should I accept comments with links that are not related to my website or should I just begin without any comments and try to get some of related websites myself instead?

Edit: Thanks for the Reply!

I agree with Beezer, get rid of the spam comments.

Also, make sure you activate the akismet plugin or you will spend most of your time trying to figure out what is a real comment versus spam. Akismet will do that for you.

Just because the "backlink checkers" don't have anything listed doesn't necessarily mean you don't have any backlinks. You may have a couple. I know, it sounds confusing, but many of the backlink checkers give out different information. I've used some of them and haven't been able to find links listed on them that I know I have. That's when I stopped putting a whole lot of faith in them

In any event, you obviously don't have a ton of competition - and that's a great thing! If you want to move up the ranks even faster, take a look at the links that the top 3 results for your keywords have. There's a good chance you'll be able to get links from the same places (like by submitting your site to certain directories, or publishing an article on a specific site, etc.) It's a great way to play "catch-up". I did that for my target keywords (in addition to other link building on my own), and wound up on page 1 for my main keyword in less than a month (and haven't lost the ranking since!)

Also, don't worry about "submitting" your site to the search engines. It's a complete waste of time. The search engines will find your site on their own (it's what they do, after all! ), so spend the time you would have spent "submitting" to them, and use it to focus on building high-quality links.


Askimet is a great tool - and only about $5 a month. Just be sure to go through the comments labeled as "spam" before you delete them. I've found a couple of legitimate ones that fell through the cracks.

You'll have to decide what kind of strategy you're going to use when it comes to comments. Personally, I don't have a problem with someone dropping a link in an otherwise good comment. But if your comment has 5 links in it (or doesn't have much to say other than a link), I'm not going to approve it. You may not want links at all; it's your call.

Good luck!
