Comments on Blogs

ldsc · November 2008

Hello
Everyone,

I have SEO related question about
comment on blog. Is google gives Priority to comment on blog for
search engine rankings? links on blogs by comment allow to search
engine spiders?

I do not think Google gives "priority" to blog posts.

One thing to check if you`re posting on another person`s blog.. is (1) if links are allowed and (2) make sure any links are not "no follow". No follow will prevent search bots from following the link to your site.

I agree with Vwebworld. No priority given there. It is all about page rank when determining priority. Many blog links are also encoded so they are not as good as regular hardcoded links.

I agree with you guys. Many blogs set the comment feature as a "nofollow" these days. I still comment on blogs though. Not so much for getting backlinks, but rather to socialise with other fellow bloggers.
If the intention is to get backlinks, it is better to find blogs with high PR.
But first make sure that it is not set as a "nofollow."
To see if it is set as "nofollow" is very easy.
Just check the page source code.
If you are using firefox, you can click on "Edit" then "Find."
Then simply type in "nofollow" in the find search tab, and see if the comments link are set to "nofollow" or not.
Nevertheless, this procedure is quite time consuming.
For me, if the intention is to get backlinks, I think it is better to focus on other tactics such as:Article writingSubmitting to web directories

Sorry. I changed my mind. I did some research, and there are some easy ways to find "dofollow" comments for blog.

However, we should always stick to the rules. No spamming.

Great tool. I hate using the lists of do follow blogs as they have usually been over run by spammers.
This tool provides an excellent way to search for them myself.

The best way is take a experience by yourself or you can take care when you comment to blog....because ..on one can give you assured answers...we all think like that by ourselves....

the following is my opinions :
google give little priority to blog than forums..etc..but still have effect when comment to blog..
you'd better to comment to "dofollow"blogs..rather than "nofollow"blogs except those high PR
you can still have a try....

Yes HighPR sites are very reliable and they have a better effect. They say that commenting to HighPR sites are better than commenting to many websites with no or low PR.

commenting on blogs and forums has helped me gain readership and follower-ship, not page rank or back links. use it for the right purpose and it will help

Well, blog posting is very easy and effective part of the search engine optimization. That is one of the seo off-page methods. Most of the search engine supports those type of methods. Blog posting on high PR sites are very essential to get the rank as well as traffic high. It is excellent to attract the peoples towards your website.

Commenting on blogs shares value to some extent but not too much. However, there are blogs which allows do follow links in the comment.

If you are adding to the discussion, you can get something more important the a bit of Google PR: actual flesh and blood followers who might be interested in your business. These are what you want at the end of the day. I comment on blogs whether they are dofollow or nofollow as long as I have something constructive to say.
