A lot of people when they think about doing blog comments they most likely think of a negative way of doing link building. But when doing blog commenting the correct way it is actually a good way to get some extra backlinks.

The reason why people think it is spamming is because a lot of people misuse this technique as a quick way of getting a massive amount of backlinks, with all of the software and bot’s to leave comments on blog posts. You will often see comments like "Thanks for the post I found it useful information" obviously this is spam if you see a link at the end of it. This is similar to people doing forum posts just to get the link from their signature posted.

To do blog commenting the correct way it is pretty simple, take time to read the blog post and when you make a comment make it relevant to what the post is about, do not make the mistake of just reading the title of the blog post to save time and making a comment just from that. Because most likely your comment may be a bit off topic and you risk getting your comment deleted or not approved. Also another important part is making sure that the blog post is do follow, you will find that majority of the blog posts are no follow. There are a few ways to find out if a blog post Is do follow, you can either check the page source and look for the do follow tag on other comments, or there are various IE add-ons or Firefox add-ons that highlight no follow links.

There are a few other important aspects of blog commenting to maximize the effect, obviously a higher pagerank blog post to leave a comment on will give you a larger benefit, but also if you are able to find a blog post that relates to the page you are promoting is even better. If you leave a blog comment on a pet blog post and your site is about games most likely the effect will be minimal.

Now you may ask where can I find these blog’s to leave comments on. This is the hard part, you could do some searching in Google but it can take a lot of time. The ideal way to find do follow blog posts is getting one of the various blog finding software programs. I won’t promote any specific programs but if you do a search in Google for "Blog Commenting software" you will get an idea. But I would stay away from those automatic blog commenting program’s as they have spamming methods. You want to look for program’s that simply search for do follow blogs and you can search by keywords.

If you take the time and leave meaningful blog comments on do follow blogs you can find yourself with some extra backlinks.
