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…
