Link building from blog commenting

That's what I did and most of my sites have good ranking and PR too. But someone warned me that the big G may "detect" this someday and put me into trouble...i don't know,that's why I ask hmm...may be I should pay for someone for directory submission lol

That's interesting. I've heard about this for a while, but I've only done limited blog commenting myself. I tried to find some good blogs for webmasters that have the "do follow" links but didn't find too much.

As long as it comes with different linking strategies you should be fine.

Also, do not send out spammy comments. Keep the comments related to the topic, provide some value and you'll even get a lot of traffic from the blogs. Spammy comments are removed pretty fast

I've been away from the forum for over a year so I may be 'out of the loop' but I thought commenting on most blogs had a no follow tag built in
so PR and SEO from commenting would be non existant.

am I incorrect with this idea?

I may be out of the loop, a year ago it was commonly held that dynamic generated pages did not get spidered... I can see that one either has changed or was simply an SEO urban legend.

Just avoid obvious ad... like using keyword as your name and posting links on comments...

Hi susansan,

I would have to disagree with you on this point. If you are link building to bring targeted traffic to your website, then you have not wasted your time.

I would rather have targeted traffic than a little green line on my tool bar. The little green line does nothing to bring you traffic or to help you get higher rankings in the SERPs.

I think a lot of folks get confused about the little green line (PageRank). It doesn't bring you traffic it only impresses admirers of the the little green line. While a link that passes Pagerank is good, a link that sends targeted traffic is better.

Yeah that's very important. Blog commenting can be great, but you need to post relevant posts that contribute to the blog and not some junk like "cool... good post", because most likely they won't get approved anyway. As long as you have something worthwhile to say, then you should be fine.

cktan is right about looking at previous comments to see if the blog owner allows keywords or not.

Many dofollow blog owners, like me, use a Wordpress plugin called KeywordLuv that encourages you to use yourname@Your Keywords.

You can find many of those blogs by searching for "this site uses keywordluv".

Just be sure to leave quality comments that are related to the post and your comments will usually be approved.

Hi - I tried using your tool, and found this blog:
The Cotton Clothing Blues | Healthy Living

But my Search Status tool says that the links are NOT followable. Am I not usign this tool correctly? Thanks, Donna

A lot of Blog Commenting discussions is going on in different forums.
Personally I do not comment to get links to my business website, but I must admit it has been interesting since some of my clients have been doing this with remarkable effect on the Google SERP results when their target keywords has been used in the comments as anchor text.

Several companies and private persons is also offering lucrative deals at almost no cost and some even offers as much as several hundred approved blog comments for as little as xx $

A friend of mine tested it on a pure test domain two months before the last Google PR update. He used Fast Blog Finder to detect High PR dofollow blogs and with high Page PR also. He filtered all results in Fast Blog Finder and only submitted comments to blogs that had his target keywords in it.

He only commented blogs from +6 PR domains with Page PR above 5 and I have to say I was first impressed - then just sad!

I think manipulating the Google SERP results by building links with "Blog comment spamming" is a large leak in Google that somehow has to be closed.

Google's credability is dependent of relevant and good information in the SERP - and if to much manipulation is finding it's place into Big G I think we have a problem!

I have been working as a SEO consultant for almost 10 years by now and I would strongly suggest that you build links on a naturally way and not by "misusing" the possiblitiy to provide short time results.

I don't say Blog commenting is spam and I don't say that this is unethical, but as you might understand my personal opinion is that every attemt of manipulation the SERP is something everybody should aviod.

As a SEO consultant I look at my job as a mission to HELP Google understand the content of my own and my customers websites and make them as available and easily understandable as possible for Google and other search engines.

If some of the biggest spammers out there had put half the amount of the time they have been using on blog commenting to create Supreme Quality Content and/or successful viral campaigns they would possibly have had a lot more success - also on a long term basis :-)

Personally I think Link building and all what is included in this is very interesting and I'm starving for information and experiences :-)

What's involved with doing a no follow of my own?

is it as simple as adding something to a url?

like the way I add "target="_blank" to the end of a url ??

thanks

I think diversified is the best way to go. Besides blog commenting, add some other ways like article building, classified ads, etc to your link building efforts.

I've invested a lot of time finding and screening sites from all the dofollow lists. You are lucky if the lists are 50% accurate.

I've created a free --->>>dofollow search engine.

Enjoy!
