It is indeed the easiest technique to get especially the themed links and search engines with themed links view a blog very high and rank it very high. So are the links that are in the form of comments are viewed high and indexed very fast.
Blog commenting tells search engines about a blogger’s attitude. However, it has been commonly observed that many webmasters create blogs and aspire to gain the top rankings in the search engines. However, it ain’t an easy thing and it involves regular work besides knowledge about SEO. Blog commenting is a child’s play if you know how to do.
Right below a blog post a space is provided where readers could post their opinions about the post; positive or negative. While doing so you can leave a back link of your website as a signature or within the post in the form of an anchored text (the anchored text will be your website keyword which is hyper linked to website URL.
How does blo g commenting help besides giving an easy back link? Readers who have liked your comments will most likely click the link and visit your website. In fact it would be amazing to see that while performing a keyword search over the search engines, you will find out many results as the comments over a blog. That’s how important blog commenting and forum and blog comments are featuring links over the results from majority of the search engines.
The search engines mostly favor the contents that are fresh as well as regularly updated. The contents that are well optimized, rich in keyword/s and having perfect keywords density are mostly attractive to the search engine spiders. And blogs that are well structured, fresh and rich content are quickly picked by search engines. That is why when someone comments on such blogs they get the consideration over the search engine indexing. The plug-ins and widgets such as Share, Facebook, Digg, Twitter etc. therefore add value if the content is fresh.

The developing plots of comments over the blog improve the SEO quality of the blog content as well as of the blog comments.
However, there are few Do’s and Don’ts one has to remember while doing blog commenting:
- Comments such as ‘thanks for the share’, ‘nice post,’ ‘thanks’ ‘or “I agree” make you appear as a desperate link seeker or spammer (to earn some unearned link juice). Most webmasters will moderate such comments and will not respect you.
- Add value to the post with your comments. Make sure you don’t miss information or miss on spellings and make grammar errors. Using \unprofessional language will also reflect badly on you, and such things do more harm than good, you don’t want to jeopardize for a little juice do you?
- Don’t keyword stuff your comment and make it read spammy. No one is going to appreciate if you should comment with excessive usage of India SEO services on a nose job post.
- Also to have a keyword as name is yet another blunder many people commit. It kind of erodes your online image. Utilize the “URL” field and you may include the link there instead of including it as name.
- Don’t do the mistake of mass commenting on all pages of a website. Do not tell your intentions so openly, majority will do blog commenting with the objective of getting backlinks but you’ve got to safeguard your integrity at the same time.
- Copy/pasting same comment across multiple blogs will make you look like a spammer and they will be dealt seriously by search engines.
Participate genuinely in a conversation and earn link and earn online reputation too. Remember your comment reflects the brand you are endorsing and never let your brand image down breaching blog commenting etiquette.

Are article writing and submission still relevant for SEO?
As we all know that to improve the web presence of a website SEO is an essential task. And we know SEO is done on page and off page. While there are so many ways of off page SEO strategies to link building, article writing and submission is one of the most important and effective ways of achieving SEO to date.
Article writing and submission at article publishing directories offer plenty of benefits:
The important benefit of article writing and submission is quick and easy link building. Choose the article directories that boast of high SERPs and that will add quality to your links. What is more tempting is that the articles can be submitted at these directories for free so you get all link juice without spending a dime.
Most of the article directories ensure permanent link promise. If not make sure that your article/s will stay long on the sites, so you derive almost permanent links.
Article writing and submission is like advertisement for your website and that too for free for a lifetime. Readers that visit your site from your links at the directories are considered as potential target customers and it’s from these people that you can establish your business relationship.
There are also chances that those readers that liked your article will re-post the same on their websites. Now this is called super publicity and these guys are spreading your links without you having to do anything, awesome?
What about making friends and expanding business in the long run with your writing? Often times, a reader gauges the personality of the writer and if your article (say on some general article) reflects your positive personality expect friendship requests that may help in diversification/expansion of your business in the long run.
If you can write with authority on a subject, improvise on it as expertly articles always impress the readers positively about the product or service the links promote. Yowzzat?
The readers that visit your site through the links from the article will be more receptive as compared to those accidental site visitors that come via search engine/s. It’s because people that came to your site after reading your article are already three-fourth convinced about the product/service you are promoting and that is why they have come to your site. So conversion would become lot easier from such people.
Article writing and submission are sure fire way to not only secure back links but also hits to your website on day to day basis.
There are more than a hundred article submission directories available online, where you can submit the article that has some frequently asked keywords and with of course effective content. But the good news is that there are more article submission directories that are going to be launched in the days to come. Almost everyday on an average one directory is launched worldwide that provides article submission facility with free links.
You can generate the back links for your websites by submitting articles to these websites and boost the ranking of the website in quick time.
There is seldom doubt that the article submission directories generate huge ad revenue through the content you have taken pains to write and submit, you can still outweigh the link back benefit you get from the same, unless you site has better Page Rank than that of the article directory. Let me explain: If the link you wanted to promote has a PR of 5 and you submit the same to a PR0 directory, it is of no use. However if it is just reverse, your page rank will improve soon. The logic here: the reason that your article is accepted at the directory is because the directory believes your article has quality and that the readers would benefit from the same. Additionally although you have written optimized content if it is published on your site it may not be pulled off to the front page results by the search engines, however, if the same is submitted to a high rank directory, it would be seen on the front page.
Article writing and submission is not everyone’s job, however, it is not that rocket science too that you cannot master it. It is always a plus if the SEO enthusiast can write well, because maximum share of your money for hiring SEO will be for article writing and submission. That said, remember here that quality articles are marked by the perfect titles, a neat introduction with main body of the article talking about the relevance of the topic and then conclusion. Some article directories ask for few lines of abstract too which is the synopsis of the article. But to provide the perfect title it is very important that you have a very good idea about the outline of the article you are planning to write.
The title of these articles must be very attracting as well as eye-catchy. It should be able to tell the reader what the article will talk about. Notwithstanding, the title also should be keyword rich to derive maximum SEO benefit.
The introduction of the article must be written in a way that it raises the questions in the minds of the readers. It is an astute way to draw the attention of the reader so the reader continues to read the article.
Then it is the main body of the article. This can be called as the heart of the article. It should be very interesting as well as relevant to the questions you have raised in your introduction. It should be the most informative part of the entire article. While writing the conclusion of the article make sure that you are concluding in the way that it imprints the message you have wanted to convey to the readers through the article.
Article writing and submission is going to stay as long as SEO has any relevance in the online world and you may want to hire someone who can speak your voice through your articles, SEO services do offer these as part of their job you may want to check.
