Blog Comments are Still Effective in SEO

Just the other day, I found out using a little experiment that blog comments do indeed help a lot in SEO efforts to make a webpage rank higher in no time. It took the site I used in my experiment only a few hours and it was propelled to 6 pages higher than it was before knowing that the keyword competition in the experiment I did was stiff. Yes it is stiff because I used the Busby SEO Challenge keyword in the experiment.

The only problem is even if I want to provide it here in this blog, I’m afraid that I cannot do it because I was not able to save a screenshot of the original ranking of the site to the new ranking. That was a mistake I learned from this little experiment. Allow me to tell you about the other details that helped me arrive at the conclusion that blog commenting is still alive and kicking when we talk of SEO advantage and using it as a tactic.

The Details and Specifics I Used

1. I used a 5 year old domain with literally little links (77 to be exact) and rarely updated blog.
2. I changed the title tag and description without updating the template for the purpose of seeing how the blog will react but so far, no result at all after days. More

Why You Couldn’t Get to the Top of Busby SEO Contest

What Triggers Penalty for Busby SEO Challenge Entries?

I think I found something that triggers sites in the Busby SEO contest to get penalized and go down the drain every time an effort gets in the way. I will not yet disclose any but I bet most of us already know about this especially if you have been in the SEO and Link Building industry for quite a while.

In fact it might have dated way back in the 2004 to 2005 book of Linking and Link Building Theory Do’s and Dont’s. More

The Holy Grail in a New Link Building Perspective

Making Link Building Easier

“Everybody has been searching for a long time now for the holy grail in link building. They didn’t find any !” – masterofthe

Link building have always been a challenge for so many years and this is what link builders in the SEO industry have been struggling to cope up with making it hard to get links in terms of quality. Some would resort to spamming to get links because they thought they’d get around with it. The different technologies contributed in making different link building schemes as effective as they are in the early days but today it is no more. We are saying goodbye in the aggressive type of link building and we are entering a new dawn to new perspectives and new ways and tactics to please the search engines.

Goodbye to Reciprocal Manager

We are now saying goodbye to the use of reciprocal manager because by experience, the search engines no longer love links and linking by the numbers especially if it is done via reciprocal linking. They still have their value but when we speak in numbers, it’s not as good to affect high rankings for your niche or target keywords anymore. The game of link building has been made easier today with lots of easy-to-get linking site that contain the quality statistics that search engines love, especially Google. A very good example of this is the sprouting like mushrooms, social media sites which, as of today the 3 major search engines love. More
