How to Make Blog Comments & Build Links the Right Way

By Waken Lai

We all know that the more incoming links we get, the better we'll rank on search engines and eventually the more traffic we'll be getting. And one of the easiest way to get instant traffic and building links is to make blog comments.

However, there are 2 things that you must do to prequalify before you get onto doing this so as to get the MOST out from you link building effort to your blog.

  • You must have great contents on your blog and keep adding to it - Okay, its common sense. If you've come to a blog from another blog through the comments on there, the very first things that you'll look at are the blog themes (not the layout theme but the topics it's geared towards) and titles of some posts. So, make sure you have interesting and yet original (unique) post on your blog before you start building links to it.
  • You must have sufficient content - Well, it's not the best time to start building your backlinks if you only had one or two post on your blogs. Just get to have at least more than 10 post before building links to your blog. Some people will disagree with me because link building requires time and it has nothing to do even if you had just a few posts on your blog. But my logic is, the traffic that you're going to get to your blogs is almost instant. You post a comment on a high traffic blog today and you'll start getting some traffic from there the next day (once your comment approved). And if people see nothing interesting, that's the last time they will ever get to your blog. On the other hand, if you have great content on there, there's a high possibility they will bookmark your blog and come again.

Okay, so the link building strategy that I'm referring to is blog commenting. Arg.. simple stuff, right? Heard it plenty of times before but how many of us are actually doing it the right way? Let me just show you the correct way to do it...

There are in fact some stone carved rules that you must abide to, to get it work correctly and effectively.

  • The very first rule is, DO NOT SPAM - Don't put spam comments on other people blogs. Put yourself in the blog owner's shoe. They dislike it as much as you do. So, be truthful, be genuine and be real. Read the blog post, and comments by giving ideas, suggestions, or whatever that comes up to your mind as long as it relates to the blog post.

  • Do not link directly from the comment post - Thinking of getting some anchor backlinks? You'll get deleted before even your comments get approved. So, do it in your name. But there's trick to this. Always have your name there and you might include your website beside.

  • Comments only on blogs related to your theme - There's no right or wrong to this. But you'll get nowhere if you commented on a dog's blog with a link to your forex trading blog.

  • Comments frequently - Nobody tells you this. But it's true that the more often you comment on a blog, the more favored you get both by the search engines and the blog owner. It's definitely a win win for the blog owner and you.

These are the things gurus don't emphasize which you ought to know as these are the things that determine the success of your blog commenting effort. Okay, start comment for links and traffic now - The Right Way.
