There’s a popular misconception that blogs (all blogs) do not allow comments, and they are so heavily moderated that you would never see one of your comments go live with a backlink intact. This is untrue, and you will find that it is the biggest blogs on the web that will give you the most link juice, and who actually encourage posting on their sites. This is all part and parcel of the internet revolution that is Web 2.0, where sites strive to become more collaborative with their readership.

When you are looking for blogs to post on, you will most probably be doing it wrong. You will be looking for blogs in your niche, which are relevant to your site. This way, a comment that you post on the blog will be relevant, and of course moderated accordingly. This is, to some extent, exactly what you should be doing. You post a comment, and your name becomes an anchor text. That anchor can point at your niche site. However, the way to REALLY do this properly, is to look for blogs that have Top Commentators. Well the main reason is that your anchor text will appear on every page of the blog –as well as the front page. You will get the link juice of whatever Pagerank the site is, and also even get traffic from people clicking your name/link – because you are a top commentator.

The way to find these sites is also very simple indeed. Simply go to Google, and search for the following:

And that is all. Now all you need to do is check the Pagerank of each site you visit, and only comment on sites that you are knowledgeable about. You often only need around 5 – 10 comments to hit the top spot. This may run for days or weeks. Your backlinks will remain there for as long as you comment. As you build up more and more of these sites in your armoury, simply outsoruce the whole job to keep those backlinks intact.
