Blog Commenting

If Google sees nothing but dofollow links, you're going to be flagged as spamming. And what's the ultimate goal, high rankings or quality traffic? If your ultimate goal is to just rank high for random, useless traffic. Save your time, buy links, and you'll do fine. If you want get high quality traffic, you're going to need to find successful, trafficed, and relevant sites and get your content there. Regardless of whether or not they follow, or if they have decent PR.

Also having links from nothing but PR5 pages (for example) - spammy looking. You need a broad mix of all keys.

Agreed. I think page rank is actually quite a bit more important than the blog being relevant to my site that I'm linking to. I would rather have a high pr non-relevant link than a relevant pr n/a link.

You're then missing the entire point of why you comment on blogs. If you're commenting purely for the link, you're going about it the wrong way.

Commenting is a way to build and develop relationships with other bloggers, to attract additional readers and not just for the link. NoFollow / DoFollow doesn't matter in this respect.

Perhaps you just go pay $5.00 at fivver for 5,000 backlinks from one of those spam offers, spend your time doing something better than "commenting" on blogs.

Sites also need to have nofollow sites if you want to know.

@adamv: If you are just going to post your site anywhere possible, google may flagged it as spam and may not give you any points. Posting on relevant forums or on relevant blogs gives you more points compared to just some forums.

This.

Though I do try and make sure each comment is relevant to the post. I'm not going to spend hours trying to come up with elaborate comments, but I still try to leave good ones. It's a numbers game, especially with manual approval blogs. If I'm only going to get 25-50% of my comments approved I need to make sure I comment on enough blogs.

You could always use DROP MY LINK . COM to find blogs with keyword luv and do follow and all of that. But what I've been taught is you want do follow and no follows.

But if the blog has over 50 comments then I feel there is too much juice going out.

thanks for the article!

blog commenting is the best way to make link of our website on different websites. and you will get results easily in increasing ranking in google..

may have to replace is with was, as no one seems to really know anymore.

So many people in this thread talking so much rubbish and stating it as fact!!

Most serious bloggers welcome comments, they will be approved if they are relevant and add to the conversation.

They won't be approved if your name is Dog I.D Bracelets or Kenco Coffee Grinder

No follow, do follow don't matter in the slightest, you may not know this but many bloggers can quickly switch comments from no follow to do follow if it's a good relevant comment. Either way you need mix.

Relevant blogs are the best ones to comment on, take your keyword , post it into google and find the highest ranking blogs you can. Then leave good comments. WHY? those are the sites that get the most traffic and some of that traffic will follow your link if you are leaving quality comments.

Add your keyword to google alerts and get notified when a new post is published.. WHy? The first few comments get most traffic.


Once again stick to relevant blogs, and build relationships with the blog owners, by leaving quality comments, criticism (if warranted) and advice .. WHY? because they appreciate it, they will come to your blog and if it's quality they will comment back and often quote your posts in their articles.

Stop thinking like link spammers and start thinking like professional bloggers
