When posting blog comments for link development, how many comments is best to post on each blog? Do you get the same linkback benefit if you post 1 comment or if you post more?
Are you talking about each post or each blog? In my opinion two posts on one domain are worth less than two posts on two domains (I have a lot of sitewide links on blogs with thousands of pages and don't see much difference between these and a single blog comment besides from traffic clicking the links). I'd say if you find a good site though go ahead and drop some comments on a few relevant pages. It certainly doesnt hurt and wont take much time if you're already there anyways. Also you may consider, if you find a good blog, to post multiple comments with different URLs, either different sites of yours or just deep links.
What I mean is that if you where posting on blogs to get backlinks for one domain, how many comments is best to post in the whole blog? How many comments on each blog website would you post? (considering the most benefit and time)
Posting your comments to dofollow related sites that are related to your niche can carry more link juice. But keep in mind that the inner pages of whatever post you comment on has to have some juice already on it. I use Google alerts to bring me top quality do follow links.
As long as you're bringing value and not spamming - As much as Possible! Both on one domain and many.
See what PR is on your mind, compare with the pages where u`ll comment. My guess, 3-4 comments should do if the PR is worth it, and 1-2 max for PR0-1 pages .. but then again, its only me !
I only post a comment when I actually have something to say. So for most blogs that I read and comment on, this is about one every two weeks. Blog commenting is something I do a little of every day, but I don't want to spam the same blogs so I space it out and only comment when it is genuine. The blog owner can usually tell - if you want the most bang for your time, you have to be genuine when commenting.
Like the poster above me I post when I actually have something to say relating to the article. I don't just post comments to get links. I might get some "link juice" but in my opinion it devalues both the content of the blog being posted on, as well as my own content. As far as how many times I comment. As many times as there are articles I find a reason to comment on. Usually anywhere from three to five.
Wanted to say thanks for the heads-up about the Google alerts. I didn't know about this service. Can you tell me specifically how you determine which sites are "dofollow" and which are "nofollow"?
go to the blog sites and click on some of the links they have already and do a backward link from google page rank bar and see google sees them
As of me, i think that having dofollow links are not bad at all. So, as of me, i'll post on every relavant blog post on the blog for getting a backlink.
I think this post thread concentrates too much on this Seo. The best ways to get links and page rank to your websites I think it is to look at it from of content point of view and from the point of view of people visiting the blocks after all the the search engines again smarter and smarter but one thing doesn't change, the aim. The aim of search engines is two judge the value to visitors to a website or blog did any content gives so if you place a value for content on that page that has decent PageRank and your link appears on that page with anchor text that helps your website in terms of SEO, then I don't think it matters how many posts you place on any blog. One thing to watch out for, after you've checked of a blog is to follow and at the page that your commenting on actually has PageRank, is whether or not the blog uses a system where in the sidebar the list the most popular commenters. For example, the speaker was blogging on one very good site with a very good PageRank on the homepage but not on the inner pages, however I noticed that I had posted five comments on a blog and was second in the list of most popular commenters. And then realize that this bloke had good traffic and a be a good idea for me to get top of that list because I would then have links to my website on every pages of that blog.
I use a tool called Searchcast. I run it in the background when I'm doing my commenting to find out if a blog or site has dofollow enabled. If links are highlighted "pink" then they are marked as "nofollow" - then i move on. the tool is called Searchstatus and it works as a FF add-on
Another one that is really good is SEO for FF, lots of additional features that I like to take advantage of.
