Blog commenting can benefit your site's ranking and PR, provided that the blog is relevant to your site's topic, never spam it, and the comment supports "dofollow" attribute.
blog commenting isn't worth it, you're wasting time writing content that could otherwise be used for a confirmed link in an article directory or on your site. The reason why mass blog commenting isn't worth it is because sure enough people either spam and all comments end up getting thrown out in moderation, or the owner goes from do follow to no follow to avoid the barrage of spam.
so press releases and article submission are the best ways to increase pr? though blog comment does help which would be the easier way to get PR more quickly? just take a scenario: if you start a blog today and want to get a PR 4 by next google update what would you do? will you write a few posts and start blog commenting or wat? i have seen many people getting PR 4 in a month without buying links. how do people do that?
It does work. Not as good as some other methods available though but it's a good way to get some extra traffic. Worked for my blog.
so from what you guys say it is ok to comment on a blog with a decent PR even when the commenting page has a PR zero. is that what you guys mean or am i not getting the point?
IF blog commenting gives you page from the home page why do people use blog rolls? as far as i know people use the to get the PR from the home page isn't?
Don't think too much, each link counts even if it is on a zero page rank. The benefit of having a link on a high PR site (even if it is the home page that has the high PR) is that those pages get crawled and indexed very fast and your site register a backlink quickly. I have seen site gaining PR 3, 4..and top rank with links all from no to zero PR back links.
I have tried Commnent Kahuna as well, but I don't really think is worth the time, I think I am better off submitting articles to the many sites that accept them.
Manually its a waste of time unless you have a spider constantly finding decent pr pages within blogs that have dofollow.
I done nearly 30 blog comments for one of my site, but only got 2 backlinks so far. This was 2 months ego. Looks like waste of time to me.
To answer the topic of placing the comment even though there is not pr. When you originally go to a blog you see a bunch of posts, but no comments when you click on one of the posts you will see the comments under the post. Some posts do have pr, but these are old posts so when your blog commenting you need to realize google usually does PR updates every three months and if it is a blog you found in a search or usually other means the post was placed before google had a chance to crawl and update PR. So if you leave a comment then a bunch of people enjoy the post and happen to backlink to it giving the post PR then you will recieve the PR boost from the comment. Remember google only does major updates once in a while do to the number of websites in the index so don't expect any marketing techniqe to pay off instantly.
Blog commenting is pretty ineffective in my experience. I've had comment links from PR 4 and 5 pages in the past, i.e. the comment was actually on a high PR page, and I got little extra traffic or SERPs improvement.
You should spend a lot of time to write a positive thing about the blogpost, otherwise your comment will be simply deleted. and sometimes bloggers delete many good comments too.
i was using blog comments but later i switched to article marketing since i found finding niche blogs very difficult.
Hi, This is good question. In my experience blog commenting is totally time wasting. Also when you do blog commenting those site must be do follow other wise if you commenting on 1000 blogs or more its does not bring any benefits. so when we talking about link building, must consider do follow link as its naturally. also don't waste time on link building on no follow social bookmarking sites and blog posting, commenting etc.
