Blog commenting and link building can help increase your backlinks and improve your website’s overall popularity. This can help you rank higher for a Google search term. There are a few ways to create links. A main one is commenting on blogs. This allows you to capitalize on the popularity of someone else’s blog, and get even more links based on that popularity.
However, it’s a tricky business. First, you have to find relevant sites and blogs to comment on. You can’t comment on just any blog. It should pertain to what your business does. For example, if you have a women’s clothing site, you can’t comment on internet marketing sites and expect to get anywhere. You’ll have to find fashion sites to post comments on. You also need to target blogs that allow comments. To help make this a little easier, try this code:
[ advertisement ]
site:.com inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
All you have to do is insert it into a search index like Yahoo or Google, and put the keyword you’re targeting in the appropriate area. So, if you’re targeting fashion, the code would look like this:
site:.com inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “fashion”
The resulting index would then be filled with relevant blogs for you to comment and post a link to your site on. However, use caution when you’re doing this. Be smart about it. You can’t just post things like “this is great” and then include a link to your site. You’ll get marked as spam and all your work will be for nothing because you won’t get posted on the site and thus get your links.
Additionally, you should avoid using automated programs or scripts because they will always be marked as spam. The best way to build links using this technique is to take the time to read the blogs you find and post insightful and original comments. It’s the only way to build the links you need and effectively make use of your strategy and time. Comments like “that’s neat” or “good article” will surely be marked as spam, and you’ll have wasted what little time you did spend trying to get backlinks. You have to invest time in this strategy if you want to be successful at it.
