Comments On Other Unrelated Blogs

There seems to be a controversy about the process of commenting on other blogs, if it needs to be made to blogs related in the same industry or niche. The answer is yes and no.

Yes, it is advisable to make comments on other blogs that are related in the same industry or niche. That way, a high quality rank from the search engines will be achieved. But there is also favor from the search engines if the comments are not related.

Here’s the kicker, it is ok to make comments on other unrelated blogs. For instance, say you have a blog about shoes and you make a comment on a blog about cell phones. Although this may seem pointless to make comments on an unrelated blog, you are still forming a one way backlink to your site. How does search engines feel about this? Well, currently you will be getting legitimate backlink count from search engines because they can’t tell the difference! The focus on current search engine technology is that what matters most is the quantity of one way backlinks to your site.

Now I said “one way” backlinks. These kinds of links are going to get more count than two way links as I have mentioned in the previous post.

Remember, if you do make comments on unrelated sites, make sure you make constructive comments on the topic in that site. A short blurb on that topic will work wonders and it will help that site get more comment count as well, so it is a “win-win” for both of you.

One other thing, make sure the site you make unrelated comments to have two things; first it is a “do follow” site. On this kind of site, it allows the link back to your site from the site you are making comment on, and secondly make sure there is a place when you register to make a comment, that it gives you a box to insert your website URL. Some basic comment registration boxes don’t have a way to allow you to fill in your return website link, well you can skip that site.

The hot topic these days to get a high ranking is to get as many backlinks as you can to your site. This is the number one thing to get search engine optimization. Make it part of your plan to go out into the blogosphere and make comments!
