Author Topic: Your Experience With High PR Blog Commenting (Read 1037 times)

Hey Guys..

Hope all is good

I wanted to ask.... What is your experience with high PR blog commenting? Do you find it makes a difference to your ranks after you successfully have say 100 high PR links stick? I was doing it this time last year and found it to be effective. I am starting to do it again and hoping it pays off. Usually its a case where If I post 100 links on different blog pages... I usually get about 50-60 of those links that stick. Obviously the more the better... but you have to factor in that some moderators delete your comments for whatever reason. But thats been my experience....

Your thoughts?

Thanks

Sean

I've had moderate success with blog comments. It's not something I find valuable enough to focus on, but I'd hire somebody to do it for me if I needed some extra link juice. The problem is that most blog commenting services just spam, or post to low quality blogs that pass little link authority. The ones that do it the right way are expensive enough that I have other avenues that I get a better return from.

My 2c.

Thanks Jon...

Interesting...

I am currently in the process of hiring someone part time to work on a high PR list I have devised over time. I do it to add some link authority also.

Can you advise on any high PR blog commenting services which you would recommend?

Thanks,
Sean

Not really, no. Like I said, the only ones I've seen that promise to do things the way I'd want them done were too expensive for me to bother with since the ROI was lower than other avenues at my disposal.

But if you have a part-timer doing it for you, and you already have your vetted list of high PR blogs, it could be worthwhile for you.

I agree with Jonathon. Overall, this is a waste of time and money, better off spending time on having the pat timer write guest posts for quality sites. Within content links are the best ones you can get.

I have paid for WSO's at Warrior to do this, most of the time the High PR dofollow blogs that are used in the services are nothing but endless pages of SPAM, since most all spammers know about these blogs and other warriors are buying these in droves.

One report had several sites that had more than 1000 comments, all kw links. From the 25 high PR links I got with that service, and were talking PR6, 5, 4 there was absolutely NO movement in SERPS.

Bottom Line

1. By the time you get to comment #100+ the link juice is so diluted that it's really worthless
2 .You run the risk of being clustered with spammers, casino, viagara, etc...
3. It is risky for money sites because it is so obviously link spam
4. Would not pass a manual inspection by G to be deemed as quality links
5. Overall, these are not the strongest links anymore, G devalued blog comments some time ago
6. Really they are only optimal now if you can find sites that have high PR on page and very few comments and post a real comment by hand.
7. Link bombs of 5000 blog comments in one day is bad these days, G is real good at penalties these days.

There is one thing about blog comments that is still positive and that is it can get you a more diverse IP link profile, but it's best to get blogs with low comment counts, no on page SPAM comments and both dofollow and nofollow links.

Hope this helps.

Ok Jon.. I gotcha..

Thanks for that

Re: Blogger Girl..

I take most of your points. I do agree with them.... but I am still not convinced that Google is devaluing blog comment links. I reverse engineer a lot of my competition and I have to say... They have plenty of blog comments in the mix. Some from high PR blogs... some with no PR on the page.

I take your points on all the others you mentioned... it does look spammy and "Would not pass a manual inspection by G to be deemed as quality links". But I cant really convince myself that high pr blog comments do not work when clearly on several occasions I notice my competitors using them...

Thanks

Sean

I'll have to agree that the hardest part is finding quality posts that have a low number of comments on them already. You can spend so much time trying to find these that the whole process is just not worthwhile.

The real question to think about is not whether or not your competition is using them, but whether or not YOU should be. The best thing to do is setup two tests:

1. Create two blogs of similar quality and value on the same topic targeting the same keywords.
2. Have your part timer do the blog comments using your list for one of the blogs.
3. Have your part timer submit articles or guest posts for the other blog.
4. See which one ranks better for the keywords for the same money spent.

That should help you decide.

High page rank blogs are good for the links and ranking but its not sure that they will approve your comment or not.

I have found benefit from commenting in two ways:
1) By getting involved in a few active blogs I have driven real traffic to my sites. This can make a difference on a new site or one where one is not looking to be the next Facebook but where a small number of interested people may end up carrying out actions that we want them to take.

2) By doing automated commenting using Scrapebox and other similar tools I have found that actually getting new pages indexed works. A while back I had a site that was almost intractable in terms of getting new pages indexed. I went out and bought in some lists of autoapprove sites and hit them up with highly spun comments that were relevant to the page content, ignoring the niche of the blog accepting the comments. After a while I found that the pages I was targeting were getting indexed, as would be expected from such action, but overall the site was getting content indexed much, much better.

The thing is that doing this is not cheap. Scrapebox will cost about $100 these days and I was paying from $50 to $100 for a fresh list with thousands of unique domains. So, getting my 'target site' where I wanted it probably cost me in the order of $200 excluding Scrapebox but the lists will be of value for some time to come as long as I manage them well and so the amortised cost is much lower than it looks at first glance.
I do not think I'd pay somebody else to do this though. It does not require much work from me and I know that I am doing what I want to do well.

I'd not do this for a 20 page blog though! For such a site manual commenting for traffic is the thing to do.

I have had fairly good success using high pr comments along side with other backlinks such article marketing and profile backlinks. You can get some quality and reasonably priced blog comments on fiverr.
