there is also another way, blog comment demon is a good tool but costs a few bucks also comment kahuna I believe can find them and its free. I like comment demon though because it keeps dates of commenting and notes. I do alot so it's big help for me.

Thanks

Thanks for the technique, ametis. @ildarius Its really hard to find dofollow blogs, but its still worth in terms of traffic. Commenting definitely drives you a good amount of traffic if the source is good.

The Expert 15 years ago

Here are some tips of Blog Commenting:

1) Install and turn on SEOQuake for Firefox plugin to reveal SEO data on Google search results

2) Install and turn on SEO for Firefox Plugin to highlight NoFollow results

3) Adjust your google preferences so that it will display 100 search results on a single page

4) Run a KeywordLuv Search (Keyword "YourName@YourKeywords") or a CommentLuv Search (Keyword "enable CommentLuv"). These sites are increasingly being switched over to NoFollow by their owners but the majority of them are DoFollow still.

5) Rearrange your search results with SEOQuake ordered by PR.

You can now hunt through pages of search results looking for places that have a high potential for being DoFollow and High PR.

One last tip...don't get caught up in "relevant" links. A link is a link where commenting is concerned and the chances that there are blazillions of blogs related to YOUR niche that are both DoFollow and High PR is rather low, so read whatever the blogger has read and prepare a good (unique), 2+ paragraph response to whatever they are blogging about.

Use commonly blogged about phrases as the keyword in your search. Works like "Software", "Microsoft", "Twitter", "Facebook", "Republican", "Democrat", "Industry", "health", "fitness", "prices", "mortgage", "sub prime", "crisis", "travel", "xbox", "ps2", "ps3", "movie", "mp3", "music", "children"

It's highly recommended that you get a copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking 10+ as this software will enable you to leave long, relevant comments very quickly. You should be able to quickly develop the skill of being able to leave comments on topics that you have no knowledge of. The more content a comment has that is related to the topic of the blog post, the more chance it has of being approved (if comments are moderated before going live) or sticking around (if comments are auto approved and then deleted at a later time if they are not relevant).

Once you've left your comment, the URL and go to Pinlger.com and ping that particular blog post.

Finally, paste a copy of that same blog post URL that you commented on into a text file as you go through them following the ping. When finished for the day, copy-n-paste the list into a tool like Bookmarking Demon and launch a bookmarking run before you rack out for the night.

Why these last two steps? Because most of your comments (if done properly) WILL be approved within 48 hrs...but you have no idea how long it will be before GoogleBot comes back to that particular page of the blog. Sooner is better, so if you ping and bookmark it to 40+ bookmarking site you'll probably get the bot over there within 72 hours at which time it will discover your link.

How about 'dem apples?

  From what I know, all blogs that does have the plug in "comment luv enabled" are do-follow blogs. In fact, it appears to google when I'm searching for my url.

Yes, I do agree with you somewhat about blog commenting
becoming ineffective as the days progress. You see, as a
concept it works very well in getting good rankings, but the
big problem is that LOTS of the blogs that were DOfollow
when you commented suddenly change to NOfollow, after
some days or weeks or even months. And this greatly affects
rankings, especially with Google. I have had a site on the
first page of google drop several pages down because
lots of the DOfollow blogs I commented to changed to
NOfollow.

Lots of the blogs that change to NOfollow after sometime
claim that they are now being targeted by spammers,
but why not leave the old comments as DOfollow and
disallow future comments from being DOfollow?!

Thanks

It's certainly not dead and it's absolutely the easiest way to get high PR links. You can easily get PR3-6 links in relevant topics for your niche with blogs. Remember, links from relevant websites are always more powerful than those that aren't. Download the SEO 4 Firefox plugin and search Google for your topic. For example, if your website is about PlayStation 3, search "PS3 blog". Just go to these forums and use SEO 4 Firefox to determine if the links will be dofollow. If they will be, post an insightful comment, which will take about 2 minutes. In total, you can easily get a high PR backlink every 3 minutes, which is 20 in an hour of work. To make your job easier in the future make sure that you keep a list of the blogs you post on so that you can return to them and use them in the future.

I add the blogs I post to to my rss feeder so I can get there quick when they post. I disagree that links from relevant site or "on topic" blogs are more powerful. Do you have any test data to make me change my mind?

Plenty of dofollow blogs still exist and don't just look for dofollow blogs. Find some popular blogs that are relevant to your site and comment on them as well, even if they are nofollow. People read those blogs and click through - trust me. And who knows, in the future they may decide to go dofollow as well which helps even more.

Thanks

I have a question here. As a technique, this might be still in use, but can someone report a visible benefit off this technique? Does anyone have data of some sort that would prove there still is a point in blog commenting?

It would be really great to see your feedback come in since I've been having my doubts about all this.

I'll keep this real short:
1) It is NOT dead.
2) You're using the wrong tools
3) An automatic resource for this activity is the wrong way to go

If you want a comment to stick - same something useful and relevant to the blog you're posting on. Just yesterday I found, of all things, a PR6 page for a personal home website discussing some sort of family matter. There happened to be a recipe mentioned on that page as well. Guess what I did? Said something relevant...

It's not dead guys, you just need to be smart and to use the right tools to find them. I use a couple, but just bought and am trying out blog commenting demon right now. For project management purposes, it does the job nicely

Don't know why this could also read as 'how to find blogs to spam'.

Sorry guys if I seem a little cranky. I just find the whole finding blogs that do follow thing a little close to home at the moment. The amount of comment moderation one has to do to get rid of all that spam!! It's ridiculous
No wonder blog owners are fast going from do follow to no follow

Why not just comment on blogs that have content that you can usefully contribute to?

If the blog happens to be do follow... Great.
And if it's no follow, if your comment is useful, you'll find some readers will still click through

To be honest links from blog commenting on blogs used to good before are now considered low value.

This is what I extracted at a SEO Strategist's site (Nicolas Prudhon, phd, SEO Strategist):

...These are the links most of the people work on building every day, these are very low worth links and are barely worth 5% of the value of a good link:

Agreed! I still post comments on blogs from time to time, it can't hurt. But blog commenting should not be your main backlinking strategy, except for using it as a traffic source.

Hey Hal..Thanks..

Let's assume the statement in red is actually a fact. Not saying it isn't, this is just for the sake of argument.

If a blog comment link is worth 5% of the value of a "quality" link, the question then becomes can you get 20 of these "low quality links" easier/faster than you can get 1 "quality" link?

In my experience, you really want a mixture of both. In this example, I'd rather have 20 "low quality" links and 1 "high quality, than either 2 "high quality" or 40 "low quality".

Thanks

See, if you are considering blog comments only to increase backlinks then i think you should also think about the other part of it. If its not a dofollow blog still its worth to comment as it will provide you the benefit of traffic. And still both type of blogs are effective.
