Do Follow Blog Commenting

I recently discovered that there are really blogs that allows a Do Follow link to the website of the commenter. These can of blogs can really be a source of backlinks to your blog. But there are things of course that a commenter should do so that his comment will stay on those blogs.

1. Avoid spamming the Do Follow blogs.

Commenting a nonsense comment to a blogpost can be considered by the blog's owners as spam. And when your comment is already considered spam, then I am sure that your comment will be deleted from the blog or will be marked as spam. And if your comment will be marked as spam, Akismet will automatically marked your future comments in any of the blogs as spam.

So, what should you do?

You need to read the blogpost and share your thoughts related to the blogpost. If possible, make your comment longer so that it will add up content for the blogpost.

2. Make the backlink quality.

Do not ever comment to a blog with different topic than the blog you are linking back. This is to make sure that the link back to your blog is quality. Remember that quality backlink is what Google is looking for and considering for your blog.

Artificial Backlinks

While reading the policies of Google, I learned that creating artificial backlinks in the purpose of increasing a website's Google PR is prohibited. Anyone who will caught by Google doing this will result to a penalty on the Search Engine Result.

In other words, the owners of the blogs or websites need to gain more backlinks for his blogs or websites but Google prohibit them from making artificial backlinks. Artificial backlinks are those links back to the websites created by the owner of the websites. So, the purpose of these backlinks is no other than to increase PR of the linked websites.

Getting backlinks for a website is really hard. Just imagine if you'll just wait for the other websites to put a link from their websites back to your website.

Matt Cutts said on his blog that one of the technique in getting backlinks is to build a controversy. But building a controversy over the blogosphere is again a very complicated thing to do especially like me who is not so good in writing.
