Why CommentLuv Will Expand Your Link Building Efforts

March 30th, 2008 | 144 Comments

The following is a guest post from Nick Cristey; owner of Hannah Montana Zone – a Miley Cyrus fansite.

Amongst other ways of one way link building such as social bookmarking (preferably on “dofollow” sites) and article writing, blog comment posting is a popular one. If you don’t know that commenting on people’s blogs who do not use “nofollow” increases your backlinks, then start finding blogs that you can comment on as part of your link building campaigns (starting with Link Building Bible!)

There’s a Wordpress Plug-in that blog owners can place on their blog that searches a commenter’s RSS feed and posts the title of the most recent feed at the bottom of a blog post with a link to that post. This plug-in is called CommentLuv. Link Building Bible has just added it to their blog. It is a fantastic way for a blog owner to encourage comments on their blog.

The problem here is how to find relevant blogs on which to comment on – and of course Google comes to our aid!

Simply go to Google and type this in, replacing “Your Keyword” with, well, your keyword:

Your Keyword “Enable CommentLuv which will try and get your last blog post, please be patient while it finds it for you”

At the moment of writing this, there are 555,000 blogs that contain that bit of text, which is 555,000 blogs you can leave your comment on. By simply adding your keyword at the beginning of the search term, you can reduce this larger number to blogs relevant to your niche. For example, say we are targeting the keyword “Technology”. To find all the relevant blogs, type in Google:

Technology “Enable CommentLuv which will try and get your last blog post, please be patient while it finds it for you”

And we get about 200 blogs we can comment on. Assuming that our comments are not spam and add value to the blog post, that’s 400 backlinks for this one term (One for your anchor text link, and one for your most recent RSS feed)! Of course the above is a single niche example which is quite limited but you get the idea!

Now it’s time to change the term to our other niche related keywords we are targeting, and start commenting!

NOTE: When posting comments on other people’s blogs, do not spam. Make your comment helpful and useful to help preserve the “dofollow” community. (What is dofollow? Find out here.)
