Using Blogs To Develop Effective Link Building

One of the most effective techniques to build traffic and increase search engine ranking page results is through commenting in blogs. Commenting in blogs gets the most targeted traffic. You get traffic not only from the comment but also from the link on the blog. However, with Google following the “nofollow” tag to reduce spamming there is a decrease in commenting in blogs.

Even if Google does not index links with “nofollow” tags other search engines consider links even with “nofollow”tags. Hence it is proven that it does help commenting in blogs with “nofollow” tags. Today an increasing number of bloggers are removing “nofollow” tags from their blogsites. The main advantage to webmasters after removing nofollow tags is increased traffic stats and the advantage that blog commentators get is in the form of back link that is followed by search engines. So commenting in blogs is a good way to increase page rank and develop traffic on a long-term basis.

Tips to get great results using blogs
Be a regular contributor to blogs so that the blog owner is prompted to visit your link often.

Most blogsites have a list of top five commentators, so if you are a regular contributor to the site then your name will appear in that list. If your name appears in the top five you can be assured of increased traffic.

Write useful and relevant comments usually it is recommended that you keep your comments short about two or three lines. As most blogs use spam filters to keep unwanted comments out, once you pass the spam filter your comment will start giving traffic.

The more relevant the comment the more traffic you get for your links.

Take the help of search engines to find new blogs especially “dofollow” blogs are useful as you can extract some value for the link from them.

There are some blogs on the Internet that are not very popular but have some of the top commentators. If you find such a blog, make it a point to write at least five to ten comments a month this will help you get a link in a homepage.

Choose the blogs you decide to write for carefully. If the blogsite you choose is related to your field you will get the most targeted traffic. Such traffic has a high conversion rate to actual sales.

It is important to have a healthy relationship with other bloggers. Bloggers involved in search marketing are more likely to have good relationship with someone from the same community rather than with someone who is a stock market blogger. Your level of knowledge about the industry you are in has a direct effect on other bloggers. You are more likely to be taken seriously if you demonstrate a high level of understanding of the industry or niche you are in.

You need to be honest, transparent, trustworthy, and treat fellow bloggers with respect. Treating other bloggers as competition is definitely not recommended.
