Posting comments on your own blog

This must be an SEO trick......On some of the bigger blogs....I've seen the owner of the blog actually comment themselves referencing the same blog topic using [ ]

Is this something we should all do? Does it help with traffic?

Thanks

 

I would call this an "SEO trick", but rather a method to make a blog seem popular and keep conversations going in comment areas, also good for internal linking.

 

Thats puttin salt in the game if you ask me.

 

ive done this if i wanted to add a bit extra to the original post after its been posted.

i dont think that will help your seo

 

From an SEO standpoint, this is nothing more than interlinking your pages. But, from a visitor/reader standpoint commenting on your blog and interacting with visitors can build reader loyalty. of course this assumes you are interacting with other people that post comments, not just commenting to yourself..

 

The only benefit I see is interaction with other folks who have left comments, or providing amplifying information not in the original post. Internal linking? Not sure there's a benefit there.

 

Internal backlinks is one of the best on-page optimizations you can do for yourself to minimize PR leaks.

 

i wouldn't be surprised if someone is commenting on their own blog to get some activity going, but posting by admin without any user interaction is pure lame in my opinion. if there is no user coment and all there is a comment by the admin, that speaks for the credibility of the site itself.

 

I think you might be seeing trackbacks from posts the blog owner made referencing a previous post? That's usually what generates a comment with the [ ] in it.

 

interesting, didn;t think about that. rep added

I don't think its a good idea.Internal linking ----

 

fortunate for some blogs I actually comment on most blogs I come across - assuming I actually read the post. I'd say I comment on more blogs (ones that i'll probably never visit again) more then ones I don't. But I'm an oddball like that.

 

Uhm...I think you are all referring to a blog's ping/trackback feature??

If you link from one post to another post in your blog, then you would get a "trackback comment" if I can call it that. The owner didn't make the comment himself, it's a built-in feature indicating that another page on the blog is linking to another one.

 

I think these are trackbacks from the blog owner linking to previous posts, I usually delete the though maybe I should'nt?

 

No don't ever delete them.

They are extremely valuable.

 

nice topic.
i agree with sultanofseo. do put comments on post that has no comments.

 

The website I was specifically looking at did not have any comments yet except a comment from the admin linking directly back to the same post I just finished reading......???? You are saying this is a trackback?

little confused.....
