Is blog commenting effective in 2011 seo?

14 years ago

You betcha! Even "nofollow" blogs are are useful because those mixed with dofollows help make your backlinks look more natural. Not to mention if the blogs popular regardless you could get traffic direct through it to yours. I'm a newb though, you may want to hear a seasoned vet's advice.

Yeah, it is. You can't just go around spamming people, though. First, your comments are likely to get caught by the spam filters. Second, a lot of people manually approve blog comments, so you have to make your comment relevant to whatever post you are replying to.

Blog commenting can be effective if your comments provide value (so they don't get deleted) to the post and you are able to link back to your own site.

Seriously, I can speak to this from personal experience because too many times I have had to delete worthless blog comments that are created with broken English and make no sense whatsoever.

Yeah, blog commenting is a complete waste of time in the sense that mostly our comments are getting disapproved. It's sad to say that there are only less than 10% chance for your comments to get approved.

But there have been no recent updates about the full weight value of blog commenting this year. So I think there's still a lot to gain from this kind of activity though in one condition: if your comment gets approved.

  As above, most of your blog commenting efforts will be a waste of time if it is clear that you are just spamming.
  
  Think about what comments you would approve on your own blog, surely not those saying that you are great and oh by the way here is a site about penis enlargement.
  
  On the same note, what systems (if any) you you guys use to measure the effectiveness of your blog commenting activities ?

Few weeks ago I decided to make a little test. I took one of my websites that had been sitting at google rankings position 15. for a long time. I posted 20 comments to non-spammy do follow blogs (with my targeted keywords as my name and of course my website adress in the URL box) and now that website has been sitting at first page of google results since that.. so I suppose blog commenting still gets some credit to your website. Just do not use those 'dead' spammy blogs, they will probably get you nowhere..

Sure, it's still very effective. Just not in the way that it used to be. Spamming the crap out of a few thousand low quality blogs won't get it done anymore.

But if you actually provide quality comments on higher quality blogs you'll still see great results. It's a little bit harder and definitely more time consuming. But I'd rather get a handful of high PR backlinks, as opposed to a few hundred junk links from spammed-to-death blogs.

Just leave quality comments and you'll be fine. Not all of them will be approved though. So don't be surprised if only 25-50% of your comments are actually approved. Even if they're well thought out.

To predict the time frame? Oh that's harder, I am positive the guys at Google are trying to think of a way to sort 99% of comments out from the 1% of "normal commenting" and write an algo for that.

The sheer volume of scrapebox and other tools that are inundating the entire blogsphere has to be dealt with.

Very soon it will be worthless.

Scrapebox can still be effective on your 2nd or 3rd backlinks. (Higher quality sites that link directly to you. Squidoo Lenses, Hubs, articles, etc.) Since these can usually handle the sudden surge of backlinks.

I'm not a huge fan of blasting away at thousands of blogs because, as a blog owner myself, I know how annoying it is. But that said, most of the auto approve, Scrapebox compatible blogs have long been abandoned anyway.

I have not used ScrapeBox YET but as far as I know if works pretty well, in fact some of our competitors have ranked high in very competitive keywords using that as their only main strategy. What is important is to be selective about commenting and by that I mean don't go for blasts instead find few good blogs (high-PR page, do-follow, low OBL, ...blogs) using ScrapeBox and then comment with right anchor text. And also use that as a part of a mix of backlinks in your backlinking strategy and on a continuous basis. That way it is highly effective as of my knowledge.

I've been getting good results with blog commenting, but only when I actually seek out high quality blogs and contribute a valuable comment. I find that one or two of those works better than a bunch of auto-generated scraped comments on junk blogs.

I'll also add that I think the "nofollow" concern is becoming less important as Google really starts to look at what a community talks about. If Google wants to rank what's truly relevant to people it has to look at where conversations are taking place...blog commenting, forums, social networks...and give value to those links whether they are "nofollow" or not.

If you see a bunch if spammy comments with links that are completely unrelated to the blog topic then just skip that page and find one with relevant quality content. I post comments on many blogs that moderate and if its a good comment it will be let it more times than not even if it has a backlink. The key is to find a site related to your keywords but that doesn't compete. Like if your site is about dog catching you don't want to try to comment on other dog catching sites. You want to find sites that are about funny pet videos or pet stories, or dog training...well not the best example but hope you get my point

Most of the people see blog commenting as an opportunity for links only if that is the case then it doesn't has much value now because most of the blogs these days use nofollow and those who don't have so many comments that the link value gets decreased.

So when you comment on blogs make sure that you stay on topic add something useful to the post if you do this you can build a good relationship with the blog owner and also the visitors which in return can return you a link if they find your site useful enough.

Yes and I like doing it. It's probably my #1 favorite form of building backlinks. I spend 30 minutes to 2 hours a day doing it right now for some testing purposes. I enjoy reading and then joining in on the discussion. It's slow going, but if you get in the mindset of having fun and coming up with valuable comments, it's an easy-going, laid back way to spend a part of each day.

Think of it this way - you can write guest posts (which I also do), but you'll spend much more time on a guest post than a comment. Yet, a comment provides some decent linkjuice (arguably not as good as a guest post on an authoritative website, but good nevertheless).

Blog commenting is something to work at consistently - a few every day instead and over the course of a few months your sites will have some good links.

Hi mister RevSEO,

I think you're dead wrong.

Comments can be easily identified? Great. Because most often people will read a good article and link to another related article that they want to share with the community.

That's what Google is looking for. Vote links. And comments are a great media (a social media) for those kind of links. So, I don't see why Google should 'identify' comment links and disregard them. That's just stupid.

Secondly, if you place a good comment on a high quality web page with an owner that actually cares about his site, you dont need to worry about 'garbage spammers' anyway.

Thirdly... oh yeah, maybe contextual links on homepage would work far better? *wink, signature*

And as people always looking to get the complete information and which they get by blog. And this way blog page searched more by people and people spend more time with that page.

Yes blog commenting is one way of increasing backlinks for your site. But due to spammers most of the blog comments are not approved or approved with nofollow backlinks. This backlink will not be counted in Google. But it helps in increasing the ranking of the keyword to some extend.

Also one must be genuine in posting comments, since this is the place where people interact.

Personally, I have started this to gain exposure to new blogs by making comments on popular blog posts.
As far as SEO is concerned, most of the sites which fall in my niche have no-followed anchor text link so I use my real name. But there is a benefit on commenting on blogs who have Top Commentators widget on Sidebar which is Do-Follow in most of the cases.
So, Right from start of the month, try targeting such blogs and to be on #1 and along with exposure you gain link juice too from all blog posts and pages of that domain

Getting traffic from blog comments is a myth. Seriously. Would YOU click on keyworded links dropped by blog commenters? I didn't think so either.

Thanks

No, but people will and DO click on thoughtful relevant blog comments (no, not BS spam comments, or ones spammers just THINK are thoughtful and relevant) on high-traffic blogs. And not keyworded links, branded links, like Joe @ Moneyblogger, or whatever (I made that up). If what the person has said is interesting and useful I will certainly click to see what Moneyblogger is all about.

But of course there is no traffic to be had from crappy keyword comment-links on random two-bit blogs that no-one reads, we agree there.

An automated comment? No.

But a well thought out comment? Sure, why not? I see traffic coming from comments all the time. It's not a massive amount by any means, but it's an added bonus.

I think blog commenting is still good, ofcourse depending on the authority of the blog

Its useful if you comment on authority blogs. Most blogs are not ranking high and they are not helpful in my opinion.

Blog commenting is definitely effective, if the blog is regularly indexed and live and comments should be relevant only and related to your website industry.

Both the no-follow and do-follow blog comments is always important for the backlinks. It makes the backlinks natural in front of search engines. And a quality comment is always beneficial as the user may visit the links provided in the signature.

Thanks a million !

Yes it is still effective. In fact, you can get a lot of exposure by commenting and participating in blog discussions. While you are adding value to the blog you are also gaining credibility for your site/ business.

I'm leaving a comment on a pr3 blog right now. Don't get me wrong I don't normally do this, I have outsourcers for these types of jobs.

I was running a backlink analysis of one of my old sites and noticed a pr 3 blog comment with no other OBL. Yes, pr 3 with only my link on it. So while looking through I'm just gonna drop another commment with 2 links in it to other sites. Easy.

Not the best use of my time however if you get the chance of course leave a good comment. Make it long, 150 words or so and topical, it will prety much always stick. Do Follow and No Follow you want them both.

Blog commenting is great for variation and also to back up other links you have. Throw it into the mix if you have the time or dollars

Thanks

It depends on the page you are linking to. I've found if I link to a blatant affiliate site page, then my Blog comment usually gets deleted. Even if my comment is not spam but a thoughtful comment based on the topic being discussed. Often the Blog owner seems to check where your link is going, if it's an affiliate site, the link gets deleted.

Thanks
