Finding High PR Blogs To Comment On The Easy Way
By Marika on Mar 16, 2010 in Blog Tips, Reviews
I keep seeing people asking how to find those cool high PR blogs that allow comments on. One way to do is is by using Scrapebox. This is a cool nifty gadget that allows you to scrape the internet for blogs just like that. However not everybody has Scrapebox so what is the next best thing to do - which is also free?
Well the way I do it most of the times (when I don’t feel like Scrapeboxing) is by following the trail of another commented. Yeah I see the rolled eyes already but trust me it’s one of the best ways that actually work. Most of the times I start out by simply finding the regular way on Google some Wordpress blogs to comment on my niche (or one of my niches). Once I find a blog that approves comments right away, I start scanning the list of commenters before me. And I always find a gem or two.
I open a second tab in Firefox and open the website of one of those commenters. Several times it’s junk (and I ignore those) but many times I find sites and blogs with PR4 and more. I follow the comments trails of these guys. But how do I find their trail? Well I use Yahoo Site Explorer or Backlinkswatch to check on their backlinks, and interestingly most of these guys have high PR blog comments as their backlinks. Not so much article writing, not much forum profiling, but mostly 3 thinks: blog commenting on high PR blogs, free or bought links from directories as well as articles posted on their own network of blogs or maybe other networks such as Linkvana or UAW or similar.
They keep saying that Google discontinues these kinds of blog commenting backlinks, but the proof is each and every time in front of me. All those guys with lots of Angela style backlinks and a few Ezinearticles here and there have max PR1 or 2 on their sites and most of them sell stuff that I wouldn’t. But folks that are really serious about their business, start at another level, a level which I’ve just started tapping into and I started to see the difference.
So next time you’re not sure if blog commenting works, try it out. It works and I’ve just given you a free way of getting to high PR blogs that approve most of the times the comments right away. Give it a shot, you won’t regret it.
Btw, just to check for proof, check out Angela’s website, particularly her About page, the one that is a PR4 site. Do you think she got it there with forum profiles? Just check where her over 1000 backlinks are coming from: except for the various IM forums (warrior, digital point, etc), most are from blog commenting to high PR blogs. Same with her Goarticles page. Nuff said.
Thanks for the tips.
I’ve never used Angelas backlinks. I do backlinking slowly like you too. Somebody recommended using Comment Kahuna to make things easier. Any which tools we use, I find that thoughtful and helpful comments are still the best way to go.

Yes, that’s exactly what I do too. And try to always comment on related blogs. If you have a website or blog about diet, don’t put comments on a site about wine bottles. Specially since I use Scrapebox I find fast lots of related blogs to export to Excel and then take my time and post valuable comments on them. They approve them over 90% from what I’ve seen. Much better than bullying your way in with thousands of crappy comments and hoping that something sticks.

This is something that I’ll certainly have my outsourcers read and implement in their comments and link building campaigns. Thanks!

Great post! I’ve been looking into investing in Scrapebox, solely for finding a larger quantity of relevant blogs much quickly, but the time being, simply performing a search in the Big G, or using “alerts” is the best way to find relevant blogs to post on.
I like to reverse engineer the websites of my competitors and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, blog commenting DOES WORK and it works well.
Also, is one of the best ways to get inbound links from different IPs and also that mix of no-follow and do-follow that Google is looking for.

I am looking for the highest keyword in google and see where it came from their backlinks. and I am very surprised that they could get high rankings in google just by a blog comment
thanks

Maybe you should consider adding additional videos or charts to your weblog posts to make the visitors more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire post and it has been really great but since I’m more of a visual learner, some more vids and charts would help a lot. Nevertheless, the topic here is really worth pondering about. Thanks again.
Appreciate your insight even if it’s spun and posted with Scrapebox.

So Scrapebox is the culprit for all those generic “I love your blog” comments I gt slammed with each day, huh? Well thank God for Akismet. I mean I don’t mind providing backlinks but for heaven’s sake people write a relevant human sounding comment, not something my toaster would say to my oven.
Tim from Fish Tank Filters | Jul 30, 2010 | Reply
Yes, unfortunately it is. You can use Scrapebox just like any other tool like Senuke or others, the right way or the wrong way. Don’t forget a tool is just a tool, it’s not bad or evil. It’s the way the people put it to use counts. I use it only for finding high PR blogs to MANUALLY comment on, and the blogs are mostly within the niches I’m targeting. You can use it with any hat color you want, it’s up to you. Sadly more people like black instead of white these days…

Thanks for this post - there seem to be so many contradictory opinions on the merits of obtaining links through blog comment posts.
As was suggested, I guess the best thing to do is to look at your rivals backlinks and see what’s among there.
If they are using blogposts, then you could presume that it works in your niche?
Or is that too simplistic?

I thank you for sharing these useful information, I totally agree with you about the explanation on your blog, you explain a surprisingly clear way to try DoFollow blog by linking with many bloggers and create a link to easily access and share information, provide search engine backlinks. Also, you can add the blog commenters. You must create a mailbox for storing important data and all suggestions to improve over his blog. This is also a way to make your blog more and more professional and will get many visitors daily.

This a handy little way of jukping form one blog to another to get backlinks, DoFollow seems to be quite hard to find but its techniques like this that make the difference.

its better to find some dofollow forums and posting on them , its takes time to find dofollow blog, and you have to search it everytime
aimin from Jdofollow forum | Sep 17, 2010 | Reply
I totally agree of what you say. However, it is time consuming and nowadays social bookmarking is another method to build good backlinks. Also, if you have good post. You get lot of referrer traffic. Once, i had bookmarking one of the latest news in delicious and within 8 hours. I got approx. 800 visitors just from delicious, which made me extra $10. Good enough.

For anyone trying to think of their own product to create, how about a do follow blog search engine. That would be awesome, plop in your topic, hit search, and see dofollow blogs according to page rank that also match you field. I would love this kind of tool.

So I’ve been trying this and it works really well. Thanks. It would be great if there was any way so you could not whether blogs accepted comments straight away.
You’re welcome.

I have tried so much to get the right links and you are right here, most competitors of mine are using solid blog commenting to beat me in the search game. I am looking for a way to one up them all and I think this could be an answer worth trying…got my FF ready to go!
Challenge Coins | Oct 20, 2010 | Reply
Thanks for the tip. I never believed that Google would disregard good old fashioned commenting. After all, it is one of the hardest ways to get backlinks and also shows that the webmaster is providing interesting information.

I can’t believe how lazy people are.
My tennis betting blog (currently PR0 I hasten to add) gets about a dozen comments a day, that are, bar two exceptions out of a hundred, just blatant spam.
I’ve seen the generic varieties of nice post in all its forms plus claims they can’t see the site in their browser. It’s an insult to my intelligence. Never can they even be bothered to mention tennis. I delete them, and with vigour.
If you want a link, get off your ass and work for it. I trust this is why most websites fail, as people won’t put in the effort.

Some insightful information about backlinking that will be put to good use. Much appreciated. Now back to the mind numbing chore at hand to increase ranking.

Ingenious. This makes perfect sense. Reverse engineering another person’s backlinks is a great idea.
Dave from Men Gifts | Nov 16, 2010 | Reply
thank you for the useful article on backlinks. Most of us know that building backlinks is no easy task. Especially finding “do-follow” blogs or websites. you have to earn your way for a better page rank because there really is no easy shortcut. But in the long term, it may be worth it because you are learning as you go along on the “do’s and don’t” of blogging.

That makes sense especially when it’s free..but do you outsource the harvesting as well as your blog commenting or do it yourself. I’m contemplating oDesk but none of the #2.22/hr gals speak write descent English.

It does really help commenting in blogs, but that is not the only thing you need to get a high pagerank. In my view you have to do a lot of social networking that too in the good old slow way. The results may be slow, but they are reliable and stay for long.

It is very interesting to see how many are trying to get backlinks from this PR0 page even. (including me). that itself shows the importance of blog commenting. SEO is just shooting at the dark, you may get it or not , but just give a try.

Outstanding article! Commenting used to be one of the most popular and powerful tools in promoting the website and getting backlinks. Unfortunately today a lot of great resources that used to be ‘do-follow’ converted to no-follow as most of the users who were ‘participating’ in the conversation were simply looking for a backlink rather then trying to contribute to the conversation.
