How to Link to Your Site with Blog Comments & Blogging Comment Software
This article helps you to understand how to comment effectively on other blogs to boost the ranking of your website or blog. You might say… I know all that! But stay with me, you might get some handy tips in this article.
To get a link back to your site from a blog, you simply enter a comment at a blog like this:

I know many of you go to blogs which use the "KeywordLuv" script to get links. By the way, it allows you to put "YourName@YourKeywords" in the Name field (The blog links back to your site with "YourKeywords") — and that's fine. But soon you'll run out of these KeywordLuv blogs.
Then simply find blogs which are "Do follow" blogs (See below how to find them) and comment in the "Name" field with your keyword like I did above. In the name field I put "Riggie - Internet Business".
Most webmasters won't mind this… and I get a useful link with the keyword "internet business" back to my site. This is all you have to do… enter your name and your keyword in the "Name" field and you have a link back to your site, that's if the blog is a "Do Follow" blog.
To find those "Do Follow" blogs…
… go to ezbusinessneeds.com and repository101.com which are free websites helping you to find "Do Follow" blogs. Or get a piece of software called Fast Blog Finder which does a great job finding "Do Follow" Blogs. It does a pretty good job of finding "Do Follow" blogs too.
The software allows you to enter keywords, and goes off to find "Do Follow" blogs. It even shows you how much PR and outbound links a blog has. Now you can easily and quickly comment on one or two blogs in a day
I'm often asked how often one should comment on other blogs. Well, just like with any other method you apply to boost your site, use blog commenting as a part of your linking strategy. I personally wouldn't post more than one or two comments a day, as the search engines may pick up an "unnatural" amount of commenting which is linking to my site.
So… get links from article directories, web directories, web 2.0 sites etc. and simply include blog commenting.
A fun way to get people to read your posts
and to brand yourself on the net,
is to add your photo at gravatar.com. You simply create a free account and then go to Account –> Add an Image. Then you add an image of yourself…. and voila… you photo appears next your comments on most blogs! Very cool.
In closing, remember to post quality articles to your own blog at least twice a week, and probably a maximum of twice a day. This gives your own blog a solid reputation on the net, and other blog owners will gladly post on your blog too
Well I hope this article helped you a step further in your quest to succeed in linking to your site. Please comment and let me know what's on your mind…

Hi Riggie
I can only emphasize how important it is to make quality comments. I run a do follow blog search, too, and even though I clearly state on my site that you should make sensible comments, I get trash comments, too. People seem to be unable to read…

Thanks for the software link. I use several dofollow blog search engines. They have a database of blogs with which they made a customized google search engine. Really handy. They are also easy to find via google

Hi Mike,
Yes, you're right. I get a mixture of quality, sensible comments to
very trashy ones.
The sooner we all learn to help each other and comment sensibly,
the sooner we'll all profit.

Yeah, I guess everyone struggles with that. I am always a little bit in doubt whether I should delete those comments, as they are not outright spam like all this viagra stuff, but on the other hand they contribute nothing, so I delete more and more often…

Mike,
You're right on the money. I'm deleting the non-contributing comments too.
The Askimet Anti-Spam Plug-in does a great job of deleting the spam comments, saving me loads of time.
-Riggie
Yes I use Akismet, too. By the way…branding yourself on the net with gravatar.com… You look very much like a collegue of mine, perhaps that made me stick to your blog and subscribe your feed

What I like about blogs that use KeywordLuv is the owners of the blogs (like you and I) know that blogging is a community, and a community that grows through linking and relating to each other. And why not get a little extra benefit through targeted keywords? Good comments for the blog owner and readers and a little google juice for the commenter. I do agree that you need to use judicious use of moderation though.
Nice blog and good post. I'm kind of torn on the number of posts per day. I've seen some forums recommend no more than 20 per day which is on the high end. I think 2 per day can't hurt.

Hi Riggie! Thanks for this article. Question: There are a number of DoFollow blog directories. Do you know of a KeywordLuv directories?Regarding how often I should comment, are you referring to per day/per blog, or per/day in general? And if I make more than 1 or 2 comments a day, could you elaborate on how that would be bad/what does google see that could penalize the keyword linked site?Regarding the DoFollow directories, while I've found most of them to be accurate, I like to check and make sure myself. I used to check the source code, but found that this was taking up too much time. I found a great ff plugin that highlights in red nofollow links from:http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/Thanks in Advance! great stuff here.DTs last blog post..Popular free-to-play browser game The Witcher:Versus adds premium content via microtransactions
I've been experimenting with dofollow, commentluv and keywordluv on a couple of blogs. I was afraid I would have to spend more time moderating and deleting spam but so far so good. I am attracting more and better comments and Akismet handles the spam pretty well. Thanks for posting some sensible guidelines.

Thanks, nice interesting article. Since a week I turned my blog into a dofollow blog. The only thing is that people shouldn't spam those blogs, but add a valuable comment.
Keep it up!

Hey Riggie,
Another method I've used is to do a search on "U comment, I follow". this works especially well in google image search for some reason.
Phil
Thanks for the tips. Not withstanding, I believe comments should be relevant to the topic, this improves the relevancy of the page to the keywords targeted as well. A lot of people abuse this great opportunity and will get this someday flagged in the SE.
Thanks

Phil,
Thanks for the great tip. It's new to me.
Works like a charm to find more "Do Follow" Blogs.

Building backlinks is something a lot of people struggle with. I am working on it even as I write this comment
I have keyword luv on my blogs and subscribe to others that have it. They are worth subscribing too since you can be updated of new posts and build backlinks without really trying 
Chelles last blog post..Inpirational Work Quotes
Dofollow blogs certainly are a good way to build up backlinks to your website. More and more blogs are now using KeywordLuv which is great, but as you rightly said commenting on any dofollow blog is beneficial.
Great article! You have inspired me to go out and try this to get me some quality back links to my website. SEO just isn't enough anymore.
I am using KeywordLuv and CommentLuv on 2 of my blogs and I am gonna use them in the future too. They improved my readership and I don't have any spam problems.
And thanks for the links, I will use them wisely.

This is a very helpful post. I thought people make more than 2 comments a day though. I know some that spend an hour commenting on other peoples blogs. Great article and great blog.

Trying to keep the keywords relevant is hard, that's why I'm trying to get a private network going. It's still on my home page right now.
i've been thinking about that, adding keywords to my name when i comment on do follow blogs. made me think when i found that i was ranking in google for the word 'kouji.' :O
koujis last blog post..haiku poem: poverty (goodsearch)
Here's my commenting strategy:
I search for Keyword Luv and then Comment Luv blogs using Fast Blog FInder and verify that they are all DoFollow.
I then subscribe to them in my feed reader and put them into "Keyword Luv" and "Comment Luv" folders so it's easy for me to prioritize.
Then I sift thru posts to find something I want to comment on and make a quality post. There are so many to choose from that there is no need to just spam someone's blog with useless comments.
Louises last blog post..Creole Tomato and Crab Meat Recipe
This is really helpful and has been an issue for me, as simply posting name to "Name" field won't help my keyword ranking.
A question!
linking with my name "name - keyword" for do-follow blog will have same impact as the simple keyword link?
I love this keywordluv feature! It gives bloggers new posts and webmasters more traffic. Everyone wins. Thanks for supporting the dofollow movement!
Louise, I also check if the pages where I intend to submit to, have some page rank.
It can only help in the rankings…
And you also must take care not to overuse keyword phrase as link text in comments, or otherwise Google might lower your SE ranking (your site could be banned).
Yes… When you comment on a "do-follow" blog, the "name - keyword" will
be almost as effective as the "keyword" link.
It's all about Google seeing your keyword getting linked often to the page you want to rank well.
And the "name - keyword" form will simply add variation to your linking… you're not linking in
the same way every time, and this a good strategy to follow.
Hmm.. thanks for those links. Much easier to find DoFollow blogs.
We have Do Follow and a lot of spam every day.
A directory with Do Follow blogs with Pagerank would even be better.
I'm trying to find some type of tool to search for do-follow blogs. I haven't tried Fast Blog Finder, but is there anything else out there?

Brittney,
Most software tools finding "do follow" blogs have some
limitations.
Try using this site at http://www.ezbusinessneeds.com/.
It's very useful in finding blogs too… and it's free.
Hi Riggie
im just learning the ropes and found this post using Blogbee blog finder tool, which is free, i am spending a little time each week leaving comments on blogs, hopefully my traffic will soon increase. Keep up the good work.
Ps. Great blog
