Comment Posting

Comment posting on blogs is a simple and effective way to get lots of easy, free backlinks to your site. Just click to leave your comments and fill out the form. It's very easy to do and you should get used to doing it as often as you can.

The trick when leaving comments on Wordpress blogs is to make sure the "name" field is filled in as your website anchor text and NOT your actual name! So, don't put "John", but instead type in "make money online", or whatever keywords fit your site. That will give a direct backlink to your site.

This is a form of off-site SEO and helps get your site a higher PR (page rank) in Google.

But what if you are the blog owner? Spamming by comment posters is by far the biggest problem when it comes to comment posting. Many webmasters simply copy and paste their info on a high volume of blogs that don't even have anything to do with their own site niche. Some of these posters use bots and programs to do this to mass effect and, as the webmaster who owns the blog being commented on, it can be a headache deleting all the crap you get posted to your site every day. Fortunately, you can enable comment moderation so it has to be approved by the administrator (you) before it is published.

Wordpress (WP) has a plugin called Akismet that, when activated, will catch most spam and hold anything else to be moderated by the blog's owner so it can "learn" what is a bad comment and what isn't. If you are an honest webmaster just looking to get some good backlinks, then be sure to only leave a comment on sites that are relevent to your niche and write something related to the blogpost you have just read. DON'T be spammy!! Join in on the post discussion, but Do NOT drop a spam comment like "hey! check out my site at www....", as that won't work and it will be thrown in the cyber dumpster.

Personally, as the owner of several blogs, I can be quite generous when allowing people to comment on my sites, as I know how important it can be, but I'm also a tyrant when it comes to deleting spam. If you leave a comment, then make sure what you write is related to the topic of the blogpost or else it WILL be deleted by me.

Today someone left a comment on my CPA post that was about getting readers to check out their dating site. That is a perfect example of what NOT to do, and it is now gone, but if you do comment posting the right way, then it's a great method for getting free, permanent one way links to your site. Good luck!
