Comment posting is very useful but not easy.

i am recommended you to post comment in popular blog(do follow is not very important)

if you post comment in any blog then you can post lots of comments with in less time.

Blog commenting is also necessary for increase traffic, but use do follow blogs for comment..

Base on my experience commenting in blog has no assurance. Blog's are moderated by the owner. I did my best commenting in their article and they usually reject it. Especially if your link is related to their site. That's why I decide to focus more on directory submission and in forum posting. Since, they can give you an instant link ..

Blog posting is quite important in SEO,

Its helpful to divert good local traffic, and also very helpful in search engine also

You'll find list of DoFollow blogs here:

http://www.minterest.com/list-of-over-250-dofollow-blogs/

its a good strategy to get one way links but its also hard cause of no follow issue.

Well, I can only say that blog comment is a good way to get some traffic, to get some backlinks, but it is by no means a must to SEO!

Of course. Its very important and if you want to promote your blog, comment on those blogs with Comment Luv Plugin. It simply rocks.

Yes Blog commenting is important for SEO, specially if you comment in a do follow blog and the owner approved it can give you one way backlinks.

Yes, Blog Commenting is very important.

But of course, the blog site that you must be commenting on should be related with your site.

And make sure that your replies are no non-sense.

You should also go for do-follow-blogs, so you can get more traffic and your site will get high ranks in search engines.

Irony abounds!

That is COMPLETE and UTTER RUBBISH!

Commenting on blogs is CONVERSATION!!!!! Just because there are spammers out there that try to build links by placing "nice article" or "great post" comments to get links to viagra sites, doesn't mean that EVERY comment and commenter is advertising or spam.

If you have something to add to the conversation, by all means comment, whether it is no-follow or not. The point of commenting is to build up the conversation. If there is a link left to your site, someone may find information worth commenting about, or even better they might write something about you or your site on their own site!

So in my opinion, commenting IS seo, it is just indirect.

Maybe try not to be so negative all the time?

So you posting here with a username of "FenceGuy" and a signature of "Fence Materials Online" is NOT advertising the fact that "your" site sells Fencing Materials then??

It absolutely is, but most times on blogs (this isn't) I use my name in the "name" section. I comment on the article, if the writer replies, I may comment again. It actually can be fun and educational to communicate this way. I only consider it a bonus that I may get links back to my site.

This is a forum where I am trying to learn and participate in the conversation, yes I take advantage of the links back to my site, but I found this site by searching google about "internal link structure" and decided I might enjoy/learn from this forum.

If this forum didn't allow links in the sig, I would still be here.

My remark about comments adding to SEO comes from the fact that by someone adding to a conversation on another blog your site may get recognized by other bloggers that think you have content worth writing about. To me, this is optimization that you can't put a price on.

Just my opinion though, I am by no means an expert in any of this....

your site may get recognized by other bloggers that think you have content worth writing about. To me, this is optimization that you can't put a price on.

That's part of my point. It is NOT "optimising" anything, it is still advertising and promoting your site. You are making others aware of how you are and what you do, and hoping that they will continue to advertise your site on your behalf, and in doing so the links also help to get your pages promoted (upwards) in the SERPs.

Ok Chris, I will agree to disagree on that one. But everything I have read about SEO (and again I make no claims to be an expert on SEO) says the "Linkbuilding" is a very important factor. That includes internal, external, and backlinks.

Ah! That's were you are going astray. Most "current" SEO "advise" is merely regurgitated old "information" that is passed around as "brand new" here's one for example.

Yes, link building is a useful element in search engine promotion but NOT for the reasons everybody "assumes".

The days of SEs being fooled by huge numbers of backlinks are long gone. A few well chosen and well placed links can "beat" hundreds or thousands of junk links.

In November 2003 Google rolled out an major update (nicknamed "Florida" by Brett Tabke of WMW) that was designed to hit the "agressive 'optimisers' ". And so it did! The sites that had relied on massive link building campaigns, disappeared from the results over the space of a few days. (It also marked the end of the monthly "Google dance" but that "news" hasn't caught up with the "experts" either).
At the time I had only the one "site" that was "affected", a "site" that was set up specifically to test link building/anchor text effectiveness. Everything else I ran or maintained was unaffected or actually improved

Subsequent updates have steadily lessened the Google reliance on the anchor text of links to the point where valuable links are truly valuable and the rest are merely "also rans".

Take note of the third link in my signature and see if you can find the site anywhere for the anchor text used. 20,000+ links for a non-competitive phrase should count for something in the world of the "SEO expert", but out here in the real world .....
And forum sig links in this day and age have about the same "value" for SEs as blog comments do

And another one

Thanks for the clarification Chris. I read both of those threads yesterday (had nothing better to do! LOL) and I do understand your point on SEO and commenting on blogs/sigs. Actually from all the posts I read of yours yesterday, that explanation may be the most informative I have seen so far!

I will say this: I continue to comment on blogs I read when I feel lik eI can contribute or further the conversation. In essence, I see blogs as just that, a conversation. I will concede to your point that leaving the link is "marketing" my site, but I like to market my site. I certainly don't think the small amount of links I am getting from comments/sigs will devalue my site any (at least I hope not). Along with the comment/sig links I have also received some high quality one-way links from sites very relevant to mine.

All in all, content in King when it comes to SEO in my eyes, the rest of it comes in a distant second anyway.

Thanks for the input and insight.

Blog comment links from authority blogs is very useful for SEO. To find dofollow blogs i use the SEO For Firefox plugin.
