Introduction To Blog Commenting For Beginners

Article Written By: Michiel Van Kets

There are different platforms for blogs, but wordpress is totally dominating the market. One of the main reasons why they are so popular is because web developers started to work on it for themselves, which is why wordpress is one of the few free scripts out there that is actually good.

An important element is their usability; it is actually as easy as using a word document. On top of that they have all kinds of automated functions that help them to grow, like pings and trackbacks, which help to get links.

Although the blog owner can shut off the comments, they're an essential part of a blog, especially for its success. After all Google still loves content; lots of content. And comments are extraordinary helpful, as it doesn't cost anything.

So that is basically the deal; you give them content and in return you get a link. But now we come to the problem; wordpress has installed a nofollow by default on all comment links, which is a horrible mistake on their side, but obviously they do not care, as it is still installed. A nofollow means just that; it is a message to search engines to say that the blog does not acknowledge the site it's linking to; it distance itself from your site. W

Because of that only a very, very few blogs have dofollow links (about 0.2 %!!). That means that the blog owner has consciously installed an extra plugin to give you a real link.

The most important element to start with is to research for blogs that are first and foremost related to your site and then of course to select those few that actually give you a dofollow link. It is basically impossible to do so without using a specialized program. I wish I could give you a link for it, but I'm not allowed to so, but ok, I'm sure you know how to use Google to find it yourself.

Once you have your list of blogs that suits your site you can start commenting, but never forget that there's a human being behind that blog. High quality blogs do not fall out of the sky, they have been created by somebody who has put a lot of time and effort in it; respect that. Make sure you actually read the blog, do some research if needed before you start writing and take part in the conversation, don't just drop some BS in there; you will only end up in spam filters and once that happens it is game over!

One little practical advice I can give you is to write your comment first in a word document, so you can do a little spell check on it, but even more so; to keep a copy. Many times something might go wrong when you submit and if so you lose the comment and have to write it again.

Although in theory you should get links from as many different IP's as possible, there are 2 good reasons to keep using the same blog for many comments;

1) There are just not that many really good blogs out there that give dofollow links

2) As long we're talking about quality, they most likely have hundreds, perhaps even thousands of pages, so to have 10-20 or even 50 links from the same blog is just fine.

In other words, as long you take the research serious and start with a good list, blog commenting is a very effective way to get quality links and even direct traffic.
