Making your name your site name on blog comments, + or -?

Do you think it has a positive outcome on our backlinking or traffic generation technique or does it give us a negative one?

For example, if we want to comment in a blog post about backlinks automation, we make a relevant comment about it but the alias or the name we use is our website name that we wish to promote.

So instead of putting "John Doe" on the name field we put "johndoeautomaticbacklinks" with or with a dot com

What do you guys think about this?

    Post your real name (or at least a pen name) or don't post at all.

    Quit trying to game the system with blog comment spam. You're wasting your time.

    For backlinks you need always to use your keywords, of course they need to be mixed type,

    I mean one time your main keyword, one time a mix and one time your domain name for example. This is the 30/30/30 rule

    The bad side of this technique is that most of the blogs do not allow you to put a keyword in your comment author name.

    Thanks for the insights. It is a bad way to spread your comments. Is that considered as a black hat method? If not, do you think it should be?

      You can use it as tier 2 or tier 3 links but never to your money site. And they should really make sure you diversify your link profile.

    Just don't do it man.

    Get involved in real discussions. I posted a single blog comment on a blog recently and I ended up partnering with the owner of that website and we did a podcast and a joint venture together promoting my products.

    Do you think that would've happened if I had of posted as "johndoeautomaticbacklinks" ???

    I don't see anything "black hat" about it at all, but I think it looks spammy and ridiculous. It's tantamount to saying "I'm here to promote myself", and that's exactly the opposite of what you ought to be doing (which is "adding value").

    I wouldn't dream of approving a comment like that.

      While the full domain is bad form (it looks spammy, risks not being approved, and probably wouldn't draw clicks anyhow), in many communities you will find it is accepted etiquette to do something like 'Rick @ Top Motors' in the name field. Gives both personalisation and a signpost to your website.

    anchor text diversity is there...... always use different type of keywords in your NAME field to get more trust from google.. If you will use same everytime google will catch you as backlinker ... LOL

    Probably covered in the right forum here:Adsense / PPC / SEO Discussion Forum

    But to answer your question, after recent Google updates it's best to diversify your anchor text...

    i personally don't see anything wrong with it, sometimes i use my real name, and others my keywords. But what i always make sure i do is leave a worth while comment, that actually adds to the discussion, shows that i read the article, not leave just one liners like "great post", "thanks for sharing" take the time to leave a good comment paragraph or so to engage the readers and i find mine usually get accepted!

    putting your sitename will be weird in the Name textbox. It's better to go for other link building techniques like Guest Blogging, if you want to use your keyword as the anchor text.
