    I wouldn't really bother with the AA blogs. Most are going to be spammed to death.

    However, if you're looking for a way to find new posts in your niche, don't forget about Google Alerts. You can plug some keywords into it and be notified once there's a new blog post containing these keywords.

      yeah, I agree with you, most auto approve blogs are spammed to death.

      I am hoping I can get a better way in searching good blogs.

    auto approve blog sites = easy to be spammed = easy to slapped by Google. Google is not stupid.

    So make sure to search high quality forums and also blogs for backlinking.

          the most basic footprint is:

          "keyword" + "powered by wordpress"

          Also, below the Google search box you can press the "More" button and choose "Blogs" from the drop-down. You may also want to consider Scrapebox. It's what I use to build the packs I offer. You can harvest a ton of blogs using as many niche keywords as you want, run them through a PR check, verify that they're open for comments, etc.

          One of my favorite things to do is plug in lists of niche keywords that I've built related to my sites and have Scrapebox search for posts that were indexed within the past 24 hours. (via Google) Then, I like to run the blogs through an Alexa and / or domain PR check to get a general idea of how popular they are. If they seem somewhat popular, I'll comment on a few. You can drive some pretty targeted traffic if you're getting comments approved on new posts from popular, niche related blogs.

            thank you, this really helps me.

            by the way, is it good if I use also blogspot sites? One of my friend told me it is no good, is it correct?

            I can see some particular posts don't have a pr, or has a pr of 0, but the blog homepage has a pr of at least 1, is it also good to consider those posts and leave a good comment?

            for example, if I use a specific post from my blog which can make a long url link and I would like to use that url link for commenting but the homepage url box of a specific blog has a limitation of how many character to use, is it advisable to use some url shortener?

    you can use google operator or google alert. the problem with google alert is it will automatically send emails causing your inbox to filled with mails.

    Get yourself a copy of Scrapebox and learn how to drive it properly. If you know how to drive it you can find hundreds of relevant blog posts with decent PR with comments still open in less than 10 minutes.

    WARNING: It does have a steep learning curve, but there are lots of videos on Youtube that can help.

      You can take it a step further by doing a site:domain search on your results and ticking the "past month" radio button from the "time" drop-down. I do this and eliminate any blog posts from blogs that haven't had any new posts within the past month. This greatly increases my approval rate since I'm, obviously, not commenting on abandoned blogs.
