Blog Commenting Best Practices - Part 2

In the previous post, I talked about the importance of sensible and relevant blog commenting. Granted that you already prepared your sensible comment/s, what would be your approach in the insertion of links?

You can put your name in the name text field and the url of your site in the website text field. Some say that it is not a good practice in link building because you are making efforts to rank your name instead of your keywords. But the point of doing this is either you really want your name to get ranked by search engines so that you will get some web exposures along with the services/products associated with you or you want the site owner to trust you (even if your name is fictitious) in your comments.

After creating a relevant and substancial comment, you can then proceed in the insertion of links in the body of the comment with your keyword in anchor text. You just have to be reminded that you have to do it naturally and not spam-looking. You can make it more natural and easy to make comments if you only do it on blogs with articles related to your keywords. For example, you are commenting to a meditation-related article and you are inserting your keywords related to machineries. The site owner if not dumb enough will only delete your comment for the simple reason of irrelevance.

You can put your keyword in the name text field and the url of the page from which your keyword resides in the website text field. Then at the bottom of your sensible comment, you can put your name, without attaching a link. That way, you are making your comment credible and sincere, and if somebody wants to react on your comment, he can address you by name and not through keywords you are trying to link build.

In summary, just make your comments go natural. Make it a practice to comment with a sincere reaction in mind first and not your selfish link building goal go ahead of weight. Always put your name in every comment you get into.
