SEO Articles

If you’ve ever read a blog’s comments section, then you’ve probably come across a comment that was submitted for the sole purpose of generating a backlink. The comment usually reads like gibberish, but has a whole bunch of keywords and links peppered within it.

In order to neutralize these sorts of comments, there are all sorts of spam blockers for blogs (with Akismet being one of the most used) and there are NoFollow HTML codes that prevent search engines from giving any credit for these comments.

Simply put, commenting on blogs remains a best way to build buzz, promote your website and direct traffic to your site.

Add Value

The concept of blog comments is to some extent a very important valuable contribution. For example, if you read a popular blog in your niche and you have an opinion or idea related to a post, then comment on it and feel free to leave a link to your website. When the administrator of the blog sees your comment, the value of what you wrote in advancing the blog’s community far outweighs the small favor of providing a backlink, so they will likely keep the comment live.

If you comment regularly on a certain blog (or series of blogs), then you can begin to develop a relationship with other people in your niche. These people will visit your site and may even link to you or reference you in their posts if the content you provide is worthwhile.

Commenting this way aids both parties. The blogger builds a network and community of followers which makes it more likely that other readers will engage in a converstaion and keep coming back, and you will get a valuable backlink to your website from a blog that focuses on your niche.

Another Place Worth Adding Value

Social Networks that have a target audence is a good place to use to add value. It is for this reason I built ViralNetworks! The concept is to build a good reputation among your peers and make million $ fortune you hear around as well as get people to like and trust your and your product. (These are the sole reason why people will purchase your products, if they know, like and trust you and your product).
