Search engine optimization is a complicated game where every site’s aim is to gain the highest ranking for your keyword in the best possible way. Lots of people find it challenging to find enough relevant backlinks to improve their search engine ranking. Blog commenting is therefore a great way to get relevant backlinks to your blog/site because every blog out there has the option for you to leave your link, so why not leverage this to the fullest extent? This strategy works best if you comment on blogs that are do-follow, so the search engines will find your links. When you find a suitable blog, you then have to get your comment approved, or it won’t be published.
Scan the Blog Post: There are a couple of main reasons that comments won’t get approved by a blog owner: they don’t make sense or they fail to contribute real value to the overall blog post. If you want your comments to make the cut be sure that, before you leave one behind, you read the whole blog post and understand what it is about. Pick Specifically Targeted Blogs: When you comment on a blog, that blog should be part of your niche or relevant to your own site’s topic. Be sure that the blogs you target for commenting actually relate to the niche you have chosen for your own site. Relevant backlinks always weigh more on the search engines than random back links. However, this doesn’t mean that you should ignore the highly ranking blog posts that actually hold your attention; you just need to make sure that the post covers something that you are interested in and actually know about.
General Comments Are Lame: Most bloggers are really tired of getting comments that say nothing more than “good post!” or “thank you for the article. This just shows that you’re hardly concerned about the blog post and what it says; a sure shot way to have your comment disapproved. Unless and until you’re adding good value to your comment, there’s absolutely no way that you can get it approved.
In summary, this article shows you how valuable commenting on do-follow blogs can be and some of the best methods for ensuring that your comments are approved. It might seem like this is hard to do when you first start out and, in the beginning some of your comments are likely not to get approved and that is okay–as long as you are providing good value to the blog post with your comment, you shouldn’t have to worry much.
