A Legitimate No-Brainer Backlinking Tip

by JustaWizard Posted: 15 years ago 12 replies

IM veterans will recognize this, but newbies might appreciate knowing...

Use Google Reader and bring in various feeds on your niche (let me know if getting feeds is something you need to know how to do).

Then, just sit back and scan through your feeds (choose "list" view from the top rigtht) and let the news and posts roll in; find ones you think are interesting or controversial or whatever, and post valuable replies on those blogs / properties.

Because your blog comments are valuable and custom and not "great post!" spammy-type posts, the blog owner will welcome your input.

Just a few minutes a day, and over a few weeks or months, you've got some very solid backlinks. I've wound up getting very, very high PR backlinks with this method.

Sure, it's not sexy or automated, but so what? It's legit, it contributes value, and it works really, really well. And if you enjoy your niche, it's a lot of fun too!

Hope that helps!

David

It does require a lot of work but it pays off....It is way better then shooting thousands of spam comments, among which very few will stick....thanks for sharing...

  Yeah I think that's a great idea. Not only is it not spammy and annoying to the site owner, it actually makes him happy with your posts while you get your back links that last sometimes forever. I think it is quite a win win situation. Thanks for sharing the great tip. I hope we can have more tips and legitimate ideas like yours.

I've been known to write blog comments that are nearly as long as the post itself! That comment is not about to be deleted, I can assure you!

Thanks for the tip. I don't mind putting the time in if it is going to bring back the results and targeted traffic.

Yeah I agree w/ you! I used it too but everything should at the same niche or same market.

If not that could lead to spam..

cheers!

I dont consider myself an expert but i do love commenting in other blogs. I use blogger dashboard as well but the idea of the google reader for feeds might work well as well. Thanks.

  You can definitely set up different Google Gmail accounts and then keep niches separated.
  
  Google Reader is great for bringing all those blogs to me, so I don't have to go out searching. Then when I see a blog post I want to comment on, Google Reader is one click away from the actual full post. Reader is an RSS aggregation tool so instead of having to bookmark and revisit a bunch of blogs, they all "come to you".
  
  And this is likely not needing repeating, but adding value is the key here. Have a real opinion, offer a different viewpoint, make an actual contribution. And, don't worry about no-follow!
  
  Hope that helps,
  David
