Your approach to blog commenting

13 years ago

I'm interested in knowing this as well. At the moment, once I have my scraped list of potentials, I pick out any with high PR with a topic that's relevant. IMO no point commenting on something that's not really relevant to any material on my site. Plus again IMO any blog worth it's weight will have moderated comments.

Once they've dried up, I then start picking through any that meet a few criteria. Those being a relevant domain name, relevant title and the page doesn't look spammy. I went to one tonight that had at least 20-30% of the site was ads and there was a big ad part way through the content.

Thanks

Of course related ones

Posting on HIGH PR backlinks is not so good, because most times you will place your backlink on a page with maybe several hundreds other backlinks (because most webmasters are looking for HIGH PR backlinks!)

Just my opinion, but since the trend is to "earn" backlinks, won't Blog comments be worthless within a few years?

Both.

But when it comes to niche-related blogs, I tend to not worry as much about the PR of the post as I do the potential traffic. If you're able to comment on a newer post from a popular blog in your niche, you could see a pretty nice flow of traffic.

It is important to make sure that readers do not allow to comment on the same blog posts, It seems spammy and each reader could have slightly different take on the topic which causes brand confusion. As you comment on blogs, keep a running list of when and where you commented. You can go back and revisit the list in order to view where the coments.

Blog links are generally a waste of time. for the most part I comment via signed into facebook when reading an actual business relative post.

Most blog commenting is disabled, spammed out or just plain worthless in my opinion.

Hmm...so this company I started working for and yes, it's a multi-million dollar company that just got a huge investor, made me do blog commenting in the beginning. (I found out they were just testing my knowledge in SEO, but that's not our focus at all). Anyways, I jotted down all the comments that went live and such, and 90 percent were all approved.

Some keywords too that didn't rank, ended up ranking. But at the same time, I don't want to rely that it was because of my blog commenting. There were on-page and meta descriptions that had error too that the marketing team was working on. And the page has a good amount of authority with a PR 5 and a trust flow of 23.

I'm going to outsource to my cousin who's going to do blog commenting for me in the beginning, but I'm going to make her do other things as well. Just to have some diversity.

Posting to High PR websites that is related to your website niche is the best answer.

Google might consider your site spamming when your niche is in 'anime' category and your posting on high PR health related blogs?

Take time searching for high pr sites that is related to your website niche and then you can also contact web owners and ask them if you can submit a unique high quality article to their blog in exchange for a link on the article.

I've never run into any issues as far as "spamming" by commenting on non-niche related blogs. Though, I'm not dropping thousands of junk comments and links on a ton of random blogs either.

In terms of PR, I do it naturally, I don't check PR or dofollow/nofollow, I just check relevancy and nothing more than this.

When you will comment in an active blog, regardless the blog page have got PR or not, it will add some value to your backlinking profile. From my little experience I can tell you, active blogs does achieve PR sooner or later. May be the blog you are commenting on now is PR n/a or 0. But it can get PR in next update.

Thanks

Both, but I also tend to use related ones since the ones with a high PR will be flooded with comments, therefore the related backlinks are way better!

It is usually the complete opposite. Higher PR post / blogs tend to have fewer comments - because they are properly moderated.

Glad someone said it. I can't actually prove this is true (I've never run any in depth research) but it certaintly seems true ime. The low pr aa blogs get tons of spammers looking for a quick link. Some of the high pr moderated blogs, I've had to comment more than once just to get a comment to stick. Even if your comment is long, and manually written, if you say stuff like "awesome article, I agree with everything you said, especially this part about xxxx ", the blog owner may mistake it for spam.

My "technique" for getting comments approved, as weird as it sounds, is to disagree first, compliment later. I do it in a way that automatically distinguishes me from the rest of the spammers. Kind of like a "I disagree with xxx but agree with y". And I always do it in that order so the first thing they notice (if they're skim reading) is that I disagreed with something they wrote.

This is how intellectual debates are had in real life scenarios. Sometimes I believe if you spam a bunch of blogs, and actually insult the content, you'd have a better chance of getting comments approved than writing garbage like "awesome site! I love it!". I should really test this one day on a large scale. lol.

Pretty spot on.

Also, I've found that asking a question, or questions, about the post will greatly increase the chance that it gets approved. Too many people seem to think that leaving a one-line compliment is enough. It's not. And I disapprove plenty of these each day on my own blogs.

Ask a question, disagree, etc. Just prove that you're a real person actually interested in a legitimate discussion and your approval rates will skyrocket.
