SEO Tip : Build Links Through Blog Comments

After you publish a post on your blog, you would want people to read it so you end up sharing your post on your FaceBook account. But of course, you would want to optimize your post for search engines. That’s where blog commenting comes in.

Commenting on other blog is a great way to network with other bloggers and an effective means of link building. Strategically speaking however, you don’t want to just comment on any blog. As much as possible, comment on blogs that are relevant to yours. So how do you go about building links to your new post from relevant blogs? Well, for a start, use Google Blog Search.

Blog Search is Google search technology focused on blogs. Google is a strong believer in the self-publishing phenomenon represented by blogging, and we hope Blog Search will help our users to explore the blogging universe more effectively, and perhaps inspire many to join the revolution themselves. Whether you’re looking for Harry Potter reviews, political commentary, summer salad recipes or anything else, Blog Search enables you to find out what people are saying on any subject of your choice.

Build Links Through Blog Comment

1. Once you published a post on your blog, visit Google Blog Search.
2. Key in the keywords of your post. (e.g. if you made a post on SEO, search for the latest SEO posts)
3. Google Blog Search will then give you a list of the latest blog posts on SEO.
4. Visit each post and leave a comment. Don’t sound spammy. Read the post and interact with the blogger. Remember that you should take this opportunity to build a relationship with the blogger. Now when you leave your comment, instead of using your homepage URL, use the permalink of your latest post.
5. You don’t want to over do it. Preferably, anything between 12-20 is idea. If you want to build more links through blog commenting, use your other posts’ permalinks.
