Okay boys and girls, I'm going to help you out. It seems the subject of commenting on other blogs is a big issue. Everyone has their own opinion on it, but here are my experiences on it. IMHO there are 3 reasons to comment on other blogs. 1. Traffic - No-Follow or Follow, if you leave good comments blog readers will click on your name and come to your site. I often use my blogs name or anchor text in the place of my name where it ask for it on the "Comment" field. 2. Backlinks - I believe Yahoo, MSN and others give some weight to links with no-follow attached. There is also some who believe Google will follow a no-follow link. I happen to be one of those people. As to how much weight G gives that link is anyones guess but I think it was either Grey Wolf or Shoemoney who had an excellent article on it at one time. Hunt out bloggers who have installed the Do-Follow Wordpress Plugin and have joined the Do-Follow movement. This plugin takes out the rel="nofollow" attribute. You can find blog owners who have joined the Do-Follow movement here. D-List of bloggers who follow your link back. Obviously the WP Do Follow plugin is seperate from the Do-Follow List, don't get confused..lol This is a good list. However, I'm seeing some Blogger owners who've joined the Do-Follow movement still have the "nofollow" on their comments. It's unethical to join the D-List and still have the "nofollow" attribute attached to your commets, but there are people doing it. I just bypass the Blogger sites unless they have a high PR, in which case I figure I can lure some readers over to my crib. At last count, there were something like 170 sites on this list. 3. Networking - If you really like a site and they have "nofollow" attributes in the Comment section, go ahead and strike up a friendship. You never know where it will lead. Okay, that should keep you busy for a few days. Good Luck on building traffic and backlinks. TxDon
