Commenting on other blogs can be a great way to get exposure to your blog, befriend new folks, build your credibility and improve search engine rankings. But only if you do it right.

What do I mean by right?

Well, you have to…

  • Really read the post you are commenting on
  • Add value to the conversation
  • Include your website or blog URL

Commenting on just any blog will help, but it pays to focus on those within your niche . It also pays (big dividends) to select blogs that already have a Google Page Rank or a really good Alexa or Compete score.

You see, when you comment (and include your blog link ) on a highly ranked blog, you get a little *Google Love * in the process. This comment counts as a *back link* into your blog. A one way link from an authority site to yours.

Please note : Not all blog comments are equal. If the blog uses the NOFOLLOW tag on the comment links, Google won’t follow from their blog to yours. In that case, the benefit is exposure to others in your niche, but no Google Love

I have a Find Blogs tool here at CenayNailor.com that will let you find blogs that do not use the NOFOLLOW tag on their comments, searchable by keyword. Just click the link, enter your primary keyword and then click the Find Blogs button.
