Link building is a tough task I’ve to admit. No, it’s not difficult to do, but doing it the “right way” demands more time and energy or else, you end up being a nobody at it.
Personally, I go for natural link building developing content that’s “linkable”. Use it in combination with the social media and things can get very interesting ! Now, the problem arises when not all of your content is really potential link bait stuff.
I mean, how successful can one be trying to link bait for “101 Home Loan Services” ? Lyndoman may have an idea here, but I’m of the opinion that you better don’t do it rather find other channels where you can develop potentially viral content, that closely resembles the original idea/product and find a bridge between the two.
Drifting away from the topic, I wanted to talk about blog commenting – a very popular tool used these days to gather links. (And I think it’s more popular these days for it’s quick turn around time compared to other methods.)
How do you do blog commenting?
- By finding out blogs that allow “do follow” comment links related to your content, and actively commenting on them to source links.
If not for the time required to deliver real comments, this could’ve been the next best weapon for spammers (it already is).
How to find blogs that pass link juice?
1. Find out from Google using search queries, blogs that have the “Top Commentators” plugin installed.
Ex:- Google for “allintitle:top commentators” and you could find them. (the query may be blocked by Google if too many people are searching, so try alternate ones.)
2. Find out using Google, blogs that use the “Comment luv” plugin.
There may be both “nofollow” and “dofollow” comments here, you may have to sieve them out.
3. Find out resource lists on the web like this one.
Believe me, there are lot of blogs out there that offer dofollow comments and links, it’s only a matter of finding them. But once you have them make sure you only use the best ones, that are -
- High PR (Preferable 4 and above)
- Related to your domain and content
- Not penalized by Google
- Not in bad neighborhood
And, don’t get carried away with all the links you are gathering, make sure you don’t do it the “bad way” and stick to these guidelines while commenting.
To some wholesome, quality backlinks !!

commenting on blogs is more about traffic from refferals than PR alone. I was just wondering why people still talk about PR. It does not influence traffic, serps or anything else in my experience….as I have been banned for PR too, but it did not have much probs with my serps so far…
But comments bring in new refferals from the blogs you comment in…it is really good to get some 10-20 visitors a day for a single comment!
I am in the process of creating a list of blogs that send you good traffic per comment…stay tuned for that!!!

I think PR is still important as long as we are not overdose it in short period of time.

I don’t know if all of those “dofollow” comment enabled blogs are really high traffic. But ‘traffic’ has different meanings to different people.
When I say traffic, I mean hundreds of hits. I’m unsure if the time and energy spent on commenting is really worth working for traffic.
Reply
not really, in my words traffic is more like targeted RSS converting traffic
even if a comment manages to bring in some 100 visitors in the first 3 days, I can surely say at least 3 rss readers will be added up…and it helps conversing in the blogosphere. Interestingly I just got a mail from a person who wants to buy advertising on my site who was reffered from a popular blogs first comment

i did just that last night, and found a couple of PR3 to PR6 blogs that gives backlinks when you comment…

thanks brother. It was a very nice post and helped me a lot in learning about link building

I’ve always enjoyed the comments as a form of discussion. Sometimes it results in traffic or subscriptions but most of the time it results in learning a bit more about the topic you are writing on. For example, I found this page through a direct search on the topic with the direct intent to write a comment with a backlink. What I didn’t plan on was intelligible, interesting content and some useful tips (ie searching for specific plugins to find comment-kind blogs.) Good tips and interesting points by the previous commentors.

If you engage yourself with your niche with good discussion and get links out of that benifit,chances are they are good!
But most of high profile blog that do or don’t give do-follow have a strict comment policy which most commenters fail to notice and only land up having their comment deleted or their IP banned!
Commenting
Name: Cheap SEO Services
Website: mycheapseo.com
Only makes the dicussion look cheap and out of reputation. I always tend to move away from those dirty spammers!
Secondly, the myth of anchor links will slowly change.. as you can see more and more newbies try to stuff the anchor links everywhere they comment!
A simple and easier way to attract links/referrals is to place your real name & e-mail (possibly yourname@yourdomain.com) and link to your site. The call to action (checking your website) is relatively high than that of branding names with URL.
Again, I might not be perfectly right.. but I consider this ethical and myself have went across numerous sites and subscribed!
Again… remove the Search Bot out of your heads and think how a user might find about clicking your name!

well summed up by vijay and seo commenting….I would rather comment on the bigger blogs with nofollow as it attracts more traffic and targeted converting ones too.
For the niche mini sites, I think mani’s idea will help boost rankings with the dofollow.

You are right anand! And FYI.. I’m Vinay as opossed to Vijay in your comment! LoL!

Interesting but how can i increase my PR ? And more traffic without struggle but some tricks ?

Submitting to web directories is a vital part of every successful link building strategy. Apart from driving traffic to your website through direct referrals, web directories provide static, one-way links to your site, boosting your link popularity and improving your rankings on the major search engines like Google and Yahoo.

Some of the best advice comes from this website. From a new blogger/website prospective and my knowledge of SEO this approach is probably the best. For the more experiences webmasters posting on nofollow websites could be more beneficial. My guess is we probably need both, but the technique in the article should work well for start me out my site. Lord knows, I still have tons to learn.
Thanks good info!

in Blog Commenting Do follow blog commenting site is better for getting quality back links to website.

Thanks for sharing this tips, Blog comments and forum submission is the best way to get links

Many bloggers comment to get comments. Many also comment to connect with people. The undying need to be loved is strong with the blogging community.

I think do follow comments are pretty much worthless. In my opinion, any free and easy made link building techniques are bound to be valued poorly by Google.

Hi,
Wordpress provides us lot of useful plug-in.But i like the commentluv most because it gives the an extra link to the commentator as reward and brings lot of the traffic.So win situation for all.
Thanks for the sharing.

Hi Mani – I need your advice ! As an affiliate I sell books on the Web and my site has 100% unique content. But after placing dofollow and nofollow links for almost 1 year still very low ranking in Google UK. My site is hosted by Godaddy in the USA and my target country is the UK. Now this website http://www.best-seo-optimization-tips.co.uk/ says that my host should be in the UK in order to be able to rank high in Google UK. Do you know if it’s true that the location of the hosting company is important for ranking in search engines ?
