Does commenting on blogs still work in SEO?
- SEO |
I was told that with the recent Google changes, posting comments on blogs will no longer be an effective way for SEM - it simply WILL not work... or at least not be as effective.
I have yet to find that announcement. I may be looking in the wrong place, I dunno. But if you find it, please let me know.
In the mean time, I decided to do a test. I created a website from scratch.... well, not really, it's full of duplicate content being pulled from the Internet - nothing there is unique.
I then did some blog posting to test out the theory.... that's right, I didn't submit it to any directory, I didn't add the sitemap to webmaster tools, I didn't submit any articles..... ALL I did was create the website and post on blogs.
Guess what... the site got indexed and was already ranking on the 3rd page after just 2 days.
Does blog posting still work?
I'd have to say, YES.
Oh, I almost forgot... the blog comments I made... they were all the same.
What?????? I was just testing! Gosh! I usually leave good/real/natural comments, but I was just testing to see how it turned out. So far so good, hehe.
