Effective Blog Commenting for SEO Beginners

Aside from content writing, social bookmarking and local directory listing, all SEO specialists are very much aware of blog commenting as a very essential strategy to get valuable leads and link juices to increase a website’s ranking.

As the so called heart of any blog posts, comments allow us to build a healthy conversation while identifying the pulse of the “netizens” towards a topic that concerns the business of our clients.

Although blog commenting is easy, fun and quick as it sounds, it should be done in the right way so we can deliver great results and demonstrate the effective use of time and effort.

Specialists who use “white hat” SEO, should be able to comment consistently on high-quality blogs by providing great insights, advice or relevant inquiries, as they thrive not only to build a good relationship to the blog owner but also to the online community as a whole.

If you’re an SEO specialist in the Philippines or anywhere else in the world, you can spend some time in reading this article because gathered here are some of the most important details to educate you about effective blog commenting tactics.

Don’t forget to Read the Blog Post First

Praising blog owners with flowery words can be very flattering on their part but not to you. Familiar comments like “great blog post” and “nice article” can be included if they are supported by useful, informational and thoughtful messages because this is an indication that you’ve read the blog post before commenting on it.

Affliorama.com also suggests we have to think as a digital debating chamber because this will ignite the interest of blog owners and readers to comment on our post. The site also said that if we don’t like to read long blog posts, we should not bother to comment to avoid being in the spam bin.

Comment on the Related Industry of Your Client

If you think that blog commenting does not have any limitation, then you’re wrong. According to a dynamic and revolutionary provider of SEO in the Philippines, search engines honor blog topics that are related to a client’s business because they provide healthy link building practices.

Whether it’s related news, information, tips or advice blog posts, always include your keywords with a hypertext link in the body of your comment to make it look very natural. You can also format your comments attractively because this is your chance to stand out and make someone read your very insightful and thought provoking comments.

As search engine and communication specialists, we are highly required to interact and take part to any blog posts discussion like we are talking and expressing our thoughts in reality.

Unlike in the past, online users at present are very wise when comes to decoding the real purpose of your comments. The primary reason why they read a blog post is because they want to learn and participate to the conversation so better post your links under your name or include it unintentionally to your comment’s body. If your comment is very substantial, there are higher chances that users might click your link.

Ping Your Comments

It will also increase the chance that a search engine bot crawls your comment much sooner than it would otherwise, thus discovering your link and attributing it to your site.

And finally, the very important advice is being mindful and respectful of our comments so it can help us gain a strong link juice. If you will be doing these ethical blog commenting strategies, you're sure on your way up to the page rankings without the worry of being banned or marked as spammer in any websites.
