How do you get blog comments approved on other blogs? A lot of people say that a great way to get great SEO results for more traffic and more visitors (and consequently, more sales) is to comment on other blogs.  Because this idea has caught on, if you’re a blog owner you’re undoubtedly aware that a lot of people are trying on this tactic with spammy ways. Askimet (a free WordPress plug in designed to catch spam) is kept pretty busy here at SeanSEO! If you want great results with your site or blog, social commenting is a great marketing strategy.

So if people are blocking comments to blogs, how do you get yours through? Here are some blog commentings tips.

Blog Commenting Do’s and Don’ts

1.  Don’t hire an unproven service company to do this for you. You might see low cost SEO services promising to get you 1000 blog backlinks but many of these services simply resort to spam which doesn’t do well for your website’s image and typically doesn’t work.

2. Do write carefully thought out and relevant comments to post on related blogs in your niche.

3. Don’t  put ‘click here for more information’ into your reply. If the owner of the blog you’re commenting on sees you’re obviously trying to lure away their readers your comment will get filed under ‘S’ for Spam!

4.  99% of the time, don’t add links to the comment. There’s a section in the comment form for your website’s link and that’ll suffice.

5. Do look for many sources above and beyond typical high ranking blogs.  Many blogs welcome conversations with people and every link counts to some degree.

6. Don’t underestimate the power of social media. Beyond commenting on blogs, consider using microblogging tools like Twitter, FriendFeed, Squidoo and Facebook to create links that point to your site.
