    No such longh words are accepted and try to use the names rather than keywords,because the presence of the names is good when commenting and it is impressive to others.

    It's definitely better to use a real name than keywords, for the reasons pointed out above - most of the time your comment will be marked as spam. Unless of course your comment is out of this world with an insightful 3 paragraphs.

    Not sure how much benefit a link with a name in will be (particularly if it's nothing like the phrase you're targeting), but then I guess it's better than no link at all. I like the Candy Johnson idea :)

    What I figured is that when you write long, nice and keyword-rich comments, they don't bother to mark is at spam even if your name is filled with keywords.

    Caution, indeed! You will get blacklisted, as many bloggers obviously hate spam as I do and they will blacklist you! Not maybe! One day you will try to post a comment and the screen will go white and you will wonder why. The answer is you are blacklisted. This is not really an opinion but a fact. Some blogs invite this kind of back linking strategy but not all! Look up similar posts on blacklisting or akismet for verification. It happens all the time.

    I think you should use a longtail word that may convert better

    Well, I've made some researches and it seems none really know the true answer so what I'll do is mix it. Sometimes long tail, sometimes just one keyword. I got the feeling that Google really likes variation.

    Take a look at the blog and comments that you are commenting on.

    It really depends on the blog you are commenting on.

    Different people have different standards.

    Some blogs even encourage people to leave keywords, like this

    http://dofollowcool.blogspot.com/2009/09/dofollow-keyword-exchange-idea-for-blog.html

    Some others are deleting any comment that has anything looking like a keyword in them.

    Your call.

    I agree with that. However, I see more and more people using "The Name | Keyword" format.

    On some of my blogs I specifically put "Don't use keywords in the name field", but people still do. I, however, delete these comments instead of flaging them as spam.

    Some people are way off the mark here. If you're using non-adult themed keywords as your name then a blogger should allow it so long as you provide a relevant comment. Blacklisting? WTF. If bloggers don't like comments then they'll refuse it, they won't start reporting you. Silly.

    What can help...
    Say your website is www.superherofancydress.com, then a good idea is to leave some html within the comment field such as Joe Bloggs @ Superhero Fancy Dress! If it can fit in the name field then try that. Helps if you have a keyword-rich URL including the keywords obviously.

    If someone's gonna get arsey about a comment then screw them and screw being labelled as a spammer. I have left comments on large media sites that have been granted with all the keywords that I wanted. The reason they have been granted is because the comments were relevant, simple as that.

    In regards to cramming keywords in there. Don't get greedy, if you are that Joe Bloggs chap then use something like Superhero Fancy Dress UK so that you can rank for Fancy Dress UK as well as the main keywords. Then to please Google, vary the keywords you are using and link to various inner pages rather than just pointing the links to your homepage.
