Posted by jonsom on January 2nd, 2018
Leaving comments on various blogs is a popular way to create back-links to your website. While there is some debate on whether they command as much SEO "weight" as other types of back-links, no one denies that they can help your search ranking. The particular problem is that, with that in mind and the fact that link-building is largely a game of numbers, many Internet marketers pay too much attention to the quantity of back-links they build, rather than enough attention to the quality of their back-links. In so doing, they hurt their kudos and those of the websites they hope to promote. Albeit slower, there's a way to use blog comments to develop a high number of back-links that are relevant, and in order to enhance your reputation and that of your company.
First of all, let's list the key benefits of leaving blog comments with back-links:
? Search Ranking- Several websites do not let back-links in your comments. In those cases, a person get this benefit. They may not be worth your time. On the other hand if you leave a comment that is very insightful and helpful, the blog author could edit a future post to include a link to your website.
? Brand Awareness- At the very minimum, leaving a comment will get a look from the blog author. Constant high-quality contributions can help build a relationship with the blogger. It also promotes your brand with those who read your comment. Without even a back-link, you can put the name of your company or brand in your signature bank line.
? Direct Traffic - An obvious, yet less considered benefit for back-linking is the traffic you can get from interested visitors of your comment that simply click your back-link. Search ranking is important, but the people who click on your link are gold to you. When possible, make sure that whatever page you send them to speaks to the topic of your comment that interested them enough to make them click on your link.
It's important that you don't negate these benefits by turning off the blogger or his or her readers. Here are some good rules of etiquette to follow:
one. Read back over the posts and comments from the past 2 or 3 a few months. Get a good sense of the author's point of view and writing style. Appearance at the level and style of regular comment posters. You want to stand out from the crowd because of your insightful or useful feedback, not because your remarks appear awkward, out of place, or unintelligent.
2 . not Before you click on the button to publish your comment, read go back over it to check for errors in transliteration, grammar, and clarity. The particular more correct your opinion, the better you look.
3. Make your back-link go to a relevant page. Not only will link relevance count to search engines, but those who click on your back-link will feel like you've played them if your back-link page is unrelated to the matter of your comment or of the blog. You will only succeed in increasing your website's bounce rate.
4. Market your comment-and the blog on which it appears-socially. Share it on your Facebook page and tweet it. Bloggers love that.
5. Don't make an effort to hide the fact that you're a product promoter, but be careful how you present it. Don't make your job title "Link-Building Specialist" or "SEO Engineer". On the other hand, it can okay to call yourself a content marketer or even a blogger.
6. Employ your real identity and photo. It builds trust when people see that same bio and photo in your social media profiles. It eases a blogger's fears that if you're just another black-hat spammer. Also, use a professionally-done head-shot for your photograph. Showing a photo of you on your last vacation may do well for showing your human part but won't whatever it takes to help position you as an expert.
7. Only use one link per comment. Using more is annoying to readers and bloggers alike. Also, placing two links to the same page is waste of effort because search engines only take into mind the first link to a webpage and ignore other backlinks to that particular page. So including multiple links to the same page in a single comment won't help your search ranking at all.
8. NEVER just fall a junk comment that you use on several other blogs. For example, "What a great post! I'll definitely make use of this information! " Bloggers usually see through such blatant link-dropping and reject the comment. And if the blogger remembers your name, your reputation ready or your pet is ruined.
9. May make your comment too long. It needs to fall somewhere between a tweet (140 characters) and a short blog admittance.
Use these rules of etiquette and you will use blog commenting as a big part of your link-building strategy without hurting your web reputation or that of your brand.
