I have been having troubles getting comment backlinks from blogs lately do to being seen as spam. I was wondering if instead of using the whole keyword chain you only used one word would make a difference in your SERPs. For example: mortgage instead of refinance mortgage Would using mortgage as your anchor text help your SERPs for refinance mortgage?
I suggest using your own name. Most of the bloggers that owns dofollow blogs are deleting comments with keyword name. Only a few number of bloggers still approving it. If you want to reduce the rate, try using a combination of name and keywords.. ex: name @ keyword or name | keyword
HI You used your name beacuse most of blogger use their name.If you want to reduce the rate, try using a combination of name and keywords..
What I have found on a lot of blogs is this... If I use "Mortgage Calculator" as my name, in for my email, and http://example2.com/somepage/ as my URL, my comments are blocked about 95% of the time as spam... But if I use "Mortgage Calculator" as my name, in for my email, and http://example2.com/somepage/ as my URL (i.e. the domain in my email matches the domain in my URL), my comments are posted about 80+% of the time immediately on the site... I am guessing overseas spammers don't usually have an email address at their clients' sites, so it seems kind of logical that the blogs would at LEAST be checking for this (oops did I just let the cat out of the bag?). It seems that a lot of blogs verify that the email address matches the domain in the URL as a simple anti-spam technique. It kind of identifies you as a valid employee of the site or someone legitimately associated with the site being linked to. I'm not a big fan of blog commenting personally. They really don't do much from Google's perspective even if they are do-followed links... Once the post you commented on moves off of the blog's home page and into their archives, the post's page usually ends up being dropped from Google's index unless the post itself acquired links from external sites while it was featured on the home page. However, they are likely still somewhat effective in improving rankings in other less sophisticated search engines like Yahoo!, MSN, and possibly Ask. But again, after they move off of the home page into the archives, they tend to lose their effectiveness... Same goes for forum comments as well as article submissions.
