Yes, blog commenting helps to increase inbound links, But you should check weather the blog allows do follow attribute or not. If you comment on no follow attribute blogs , You are not going to get any thing of it. So make a list of do follow blogs, try to write relevant comment on the topic or relate to the post. Otherwise blog admin won’t approve your post.

You said it! There are so many people who do not know how to comment properly on blogs. After reading this post, I hope people understand that it’s quality over quantity. If you have something to say, make sure it’s relevant and well-written, otherwise you might be wasting your time.

I agree with James. His tip about the “comments policy” is insightful. The bottomline is, as a commenter, you have to play by the rules of the blogger. If you do, then things turn into a sort of give and take situation wherein both parties get to benefit from each other. Otherwise, simply put, you get rejected.

Spot on. I have a little health blog and I get the same thing. Obviously I don’t mind allowing people to put up their keywords as long as they include their name but when I get comments that could apply to anything or simply make no sense I just delete them. I’ll just add to your list: Read the Comment Policy. Most blogs will have one and if they ask you not to leave Keywords alone as a name, then don’t.

This is a great article but I dont think it applies to all blogs. What about blogs with heavy traffic that get constantly spammed? Authors will have difficulty weeding through the garbage, especially if they are producing 4 to 5 articles a day.

I agree. There are only so many hours in the day and they should be used wisely, as time is money and money is time. I love love love do follow blogs as what is the point of wasting time commenting on no follow blogs? I do a Google image search for “u follow I comment (niche here)” to find them fast fast fast! Also, the SEO for firefox pluggin finds nofollow links in one click! I agree %100 that on moderated blogs especially like this one that the poster has to add value value value or some keen insight, and not spam keywords, and do use your real name!!

Create great content and post it on your website. When you have great content on your website, you entice other webmasters to share your content on their sites by providing a link back to you

If a blog owner is willing to give your blog a backlink, especially a dofollow, you should be more than willing to contribute to his blog. It’s more than just good manners, it’s a matter of scratching someone’s back who is scratching yours.

A commenter who does not add to the conversation, either with a relevant question or a relevant expansion, doesn’t deserve the back link.

All the two to four word comments get axed at my blogs.

I also agree that you should be commenting on blogs that might have 0 PR. Not only could you get some visits from their site once they build up some readers, but you don't want every single one of your links to be from sites that only have a super high pr. You want a nice variety. Noah’s last blog post..How to Grow Your Cash Flow Leveraging The Internet-Part Three. Building Traffic and Conversions.

Great article. While I agree with almost everything that you said, lately I have been wondering if it is really prudent to focus only on do-follow comments. O.k., Google says it doesn't follow them, fine. Yahoo and MSN still do, right? And I'm not quite sure if Google might not peek at them -- after all, truly "natural" link growth would still involve no-follow links. Of course, as with most Google thought this is pure speculation. However, Yahoo and MSN traffic is worth consideration also. Rob - Personal Finance Articles’s last blog post..Best Mortgage Rates
