IDEAL BLOG COMMENT

SOME IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER FOR QUALITY BLOG

COMMENTING

•

Actually read the post. Understand the topic of blog post and Add something to the conversation.

Read through all the comments, if already present -the point is to make sure you understand what is being discussed.

Start your comment with the name of the blogger or the author of the article for which you are commenting

•Example: http://chris.pirillo.com/good-bye-grandpa/ - see first comment by Ruby

•You can ask questions based on the topic of the blog post

•The comment must be at least 75 words or more

HOW TO FIND PROSPECTS FOR BLOG COMMENTS

Link prospecting for blog comments using footprints

Corresponding Footprint search:

• ["Notify me of follow-up comments?"+"Submit the word you see below:"]"Comments (You may use HTML tags for style)“ + keyword • [“Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” Notify me of new posts by email + keyword]• %KW% "Enter YourName@YourKeywords" %KW% “This site uses KeywordLuv” %KW% "This site uses Commentluv"

• [intext:keyword intext:blog comments powered by “Comment Plugin”]

Other general queries for finding blog comment prospects

"add comment" keyword / "add * comment"

"post comment" keyword / "post * comment"

keyword "leave a comment" / "leave * comment"

keyword "no comments" keyword "powered by wordpress"

keyword "notify me of follow-up comments"

DISQUS COMMENTS

Discus is a comment plugin which is added by webmasters on their blogs for adding comment feature for blog posts

•See next slide for queries ,which we can use to search google for only those websites/blogs which have installed disqus plugin

Example: disqus enabled site

http://www.examiner.com/article/the-most-common-tax-filing-mistakes

For coming on discus enabled blogs you have to create an account at disqus.com and complete your profile information .you can keep track of your comment history from your profile (example: http://disqus.com/loveneetsingh/)

HOW TO FIND DISQUS ENABLED SITES FOR BLOG COMMENTING

intitle:Add Disqus to your site+site:.edu “keyword” ->(search google) will output only .edu domain websites having discus installed and pages which mention the keyword we have added in our query ………..repeat same for different keywords(related)

Similarly, for finding .org , .gov .co.uk or .ca websites• intitle:Add Disqus to your site+site:.ca “keyword”

• intitle:Add Disqus to your site+site:.co.uk “keyword”

• intitle:Add Disqus to your site+site:.org “keyword”

•keyword “blog comments powered by disqus”

Similarly , we can use other comment plugins same as disqus

(queries are same just replace disqus with “livefyre “ or “ intensedebate “)

VARIOUS SCENARIO’s

•CASE 1:

For sites which doesn’t approve link in the comment you can comment as given at this url - http://www.investopedia.com/university/personal-income-tax-guide/

this way at least we can create a brand name citation, if not a hyperlink eg:defensetax.com (without http:// or www)

• CASE 2

Eg:

http://rollingout.com/health/wed-10-detoxing-foods-jumpstart-weight-loss/

IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER

. Allways check for other spam comments if any, present on the blog post for which you are going to comment on.

(eg: spam links present in other comments ,already present )

. Look out for other comments already posted on a blogpost . If they have links ,than there is much greater possibility of our comment acceptance with a link.

Otherwise , simply , opt for brand citation only.

. There should not be large number of comments or links already present, as in case of unmoderated blogs) as it dilutes the link value

MOST IMPORTANTLY:

Don’t use homepage link in all comments ,shuffle it with other pages present on website(client)
