In some ways I agree with this. When I first set up a blog, I hated recieving comments and therefore blocked them all, as I just looked on them as spam. A few weeks ago I decided turn commenting back on and now that I’ve lightened up on commenting, you find that there is a lot of genuine comments, and often I have used the conversations that have sparked from commenting to think up new topics for my next post.

Well link building through commenting should not be viewed as spamming as long as the comments posted are related to the article and add something to the post. Otherwise all the other comments are spam.

And yes, you are right most of the blog nowadays are suffering from spam these days. But most of them have started using nofollow now and which are not using are soon going to.

Agree with many of the earlier comments. I find blog commenting to be one of the best ways of building relationships with other bloggers. In addition, it offers a basic but effective form of SEO.

I run the SEO for our company, and really try to minimise blog commenting, doing it a bit just for a variety of links. I would only ever consider doing it manually, and I always make sure I add some information or a good point to the debate. The website owner is getting some interaction, changing and unique content, so I think a link back is totally warranted. I’d love to write more guest blog entries for people, but the response rate is so low to emails, which is mainly due to spammers I’m sure!

Although I do think that blog commenting is not a very powerful SEO technique but at the same time I would say it does help if the blog is a HIGH PR Blog.

Nice discussion going on. Would love to be a part of it. Anyways, Thanks for sharing.

I feel that we should comment on blogs with dofollow but not by using dofollow blog lists. Using such quick alternatives always have an opposite effect on the popularity of the site. It’s always best to use the slow reliable means to popularize our blogs and site.

Definitely, couldn’t agree with you more. Using blogs to build relationships with other bloggers is great. Gaining the trust of others and being able to exchange information in the form of blogs can be a very useful exercise all round.

I did write a nice essay but for some reason it decided to refresh my page….

Anyway, this article is 50/50 split between right and BS, much like the author doesn’t have much of a clue about SEO, along with a lot of people commenting it seems.

Blog commenting is a very basic, but very useful form of SEO, and there is nothing wrong with it when used properly.
