Page 3 - How blog commenting helps to increase SE ranking

Hi All,

The outcome of the discussion is that blog commenting increase SE Ranking if you get backlink without no follow attribute from a reputed blog but as it becomes to waste a lot of time in finding these blogs and getting links so utilize that time in other measures to get some useful work.

Blog commenting only works when you post on dofollow ones, with high PR, and where is allowed, you can use your anchor text on the comment field. And yes, it helps getting traffic.
The problem is, that most bloggers are turning to "nofollow" due to spam.

I think that this is a very good example of believing that seo is magic or a simple guideline to reach the top. It is neither. If you use SEO for a good quality site it can be very helpfull if your site is crap then no SEO tactic will save you.

This way blog commenting is a valuable technique for building relations but not for bringing traffic like a magic wand.

If you run a website with proper way it means you are qualified to talk about stuff related to your site or at least you are capable to make a quality discusssion. Second if you do are interested in your subject you ALLREADY know good quaity blogs relevant to your website. Comenting in these blogs because you are in need to discuss and communicate about these subjects is something a professional would do anyway. If he does then it is absolutely sure he will create relations and will bring humans to his website by posting with his url. No webmaster who is serius will delete a good comment beacuse of a url.

Just posting comments in various blogs because you read it is a good seo tactic will give you nothing.

I have got to disgaree with the consesnsus here.

If you work out how to do blog posting well it can, have a significant effect on bith SERPs and traffic.

In 3 months ive moved a site from position 71 to position 9 for a one word terms in a reassonabley competitive market, mainly by using blog posts.

Things to do are;

Find pages on a site that is most relevant to your post,a nd with few comments on it.
Make quality posts relevant to the subject matter, than aid the debate.
Have your link as a sign off name or as link within the text of your post. Only one link per post.
Only one post per site within a reasonable short amount of time.
Keep a list of sites that work for you for you to return to later with other sites, never share this list with anyone.

Doing this I find that after a couple of months you have a 50% burn rate, but after that links seem to remain relatively stable.

You can also pick up links from very good domains .edu and .govs by doing this.

However relevancey tends to be poor, and going forward the technique can only take a site so far.

OK not high quality SEO, but for those without budgets trying to get there first few links meaningful a useful tactic.

Permanently looking for blogs to comment on and forums to spam on to increase your SERPS rankings? Well if you are, the bad news for you, my friends, is that you're stuck in a rut, and you won't be leaving until you have an apifiny. But you're in this thread, so that's a start. Good luck.

Moving from rank 71 to 9 doesnt mean anything at all if we dont now how hard the competition was. And you rank 9 for what? a spesific keyword or your website name?

Lets say that your technique really worked. I do believe that you made good quality posts and that you run a decent site. Did you check whether these posts led people to visit your website and then they created links to your site themselves? Did you do a backlink analysis? Are or backlinks from blog posts?

Was blog posting the only SEO tactic you used?

And last but not least, to get to the point of my opinion If you make quality comments and run a good site blog commenting will help. That is what I said. Just commenting (on relevant) blogs with nothing important to say will lead you nowhere. Propably most of your comments will not even be accepted (if blogs you post at are run properly)

Purist crap that ignores evidence given.

A one word competitive term that goes from 71 to 9 in three months mainly powered by this technique.

I prefer to use other techniques but Id prefer to have this technique and 1/2 a dozen more in my bag, than to belive that soemthign that can work never works.

I dont class blog/forum posting spamming if it is done well, as in you already have an account with a decent amount of posts, and it is adding value to the Conversation / Debate. and your not just posting a link and leaving for good.

Blog commenting can work, and does work for some sites. The problem is, it is not sustainable. Eventually, those links will diminish in value. But, to say absolutely that they don't work would be somewhat misguided.

It is by no means the most efficient strategy, and should really only be used for backhanded terms that you can't spend the time or money on otherwise, if at all.

If you're working instead on attracting editorial links, then you're working towards something that doesn't require any external upkeep. Just working on your own site.

If you're going to be commenting in blogs, do it for the networking and information sharing, not for SEO. Any SEO benefit should be a bonus, not the objective.

Fine Said

I find maximum blog page move for supplemental indexing after some time.

'nuf said. Case Closed

You are right in most of cases because almost blogs and forums these days are nofollow thus no link juice can be get from there.

How Ironic.... on a chat about backlinks from Forums a nice bit of SPAM.....what a prime example of how not to linkbuild

it wouldnt have climbed nor even appeared in the serps as those words dont even appear on my site.

the site still doesnt appear for chemist murderer...

and in fact you are saying comments do squat as you keep on going about insignificant KW's.

and of course i did notice the "noticable degree" and really thought this covered it:
"PLEASE note that obv for tough words you need much more than "just" blog comments. But everything (more or less) helps PLUS it helps cover your tracks from competition unless they have a lot of time to find all your links.. But saying that comments do squat is just wrong esp if the comment is on a good site.:"
