Commenting on blogs is an excellent way to get one way links pointing back to your site.
The more relevant links you have pointing back to you, the higher will your ranking be, and the more traffic you will get as well. Follow these easy guidelines to get the most out of blog commenting.
When you make a new comment on a blog, you need to enter your name, an email address and a website into a form and then you write your comment.
Take a look at those who have commented before you. Are they using their real name or a pen name? If they are using their real names, so should you.If they are using a pen name, try to come up with a good keyword you can use.The name becomes the link back to your site.
“Tom at The Home Business Archive” is far more effective than using “Tom Lindstrom” as the link back to my blog.(My blog is called The Home Business Archive)
I will get a link back to my blog that has “home business” in it, which is one of my keywords.
There are a few good guidelines to follow in blog commenting:
#1. Comment on relevant blogs to yours.You need links back from relevant sites to yours.
#2.Make a comment that is helpful and gives value.No one likes to see “nice blog” or “thanks for sharing” in the comments.
#3.Comment only when you can contribute to the discussion in some way.
#4.Use deep linking.If you have written a post on your own blog that is relevant to this, point back to it.It is easier for the search engines to crawl your blog and it makes for good reading for others.
Some people only comment on “do follow” blogs that follow links.Personally, I comment on all blogs that are relevant to mine.People will visit you if you post an excellent comment.
How to find blogs that are relevant to yours? You can do a Google search, join a blogging community, or you can use a free software called CommentKahuna (commentkahuna.com)
With Google you can use many different research strings to find exactly what you are looking for.Here is 11 best killer research strings to find stuff on Google.

Great tips! So many newer bloggers just don’t do this stuff and it really does help drive great traffic!
Tom,
Excellent points about commenting on dofollow blogs.
Many newbies are being told to comment on dofollow blogs, but are not told the proper way to comment. So, if their comment does not follow appropriate guidelines, like yours above, their comment gets deleted.
Point #4 reminds me I need to do more deep linking
Thanks,
Mike
Thanks for commenting.Also, from the blog owners point of view, why should he/she approve any comment that does not give any value to the post? Every comment that gives value also brings new and fresh content to the blog.
Thanks, Tom, for nice blog commenting guidelines. I also have a blog and receive many comments for my posts. I like when people give valuable posts and don’t just tell “Thank you, Julia”. I delete almost all comments of such kind. As to the NoFollow and DoFollow blogs, I comment on both. Although NoFollow links are not counted as backlinks (I did a test and verified this by myself), I would not advise anyone to ignore them. NoFollow links can still drive some traffic to the website. BTW. I liked your notice that keywords in the name field are allowed. I met it for the first time. Usually one should review other comments to decide if he/she can include keywords.
Use deeplinking. It’s the smartest thing I started to do. Spread the link love around your blog a bit. Thanks for the link.
Great post! The point of commenting is to add to the topic of conversation. Bloggers love it when visitors leave comments on their blog. It gets the conversation started and people talking back and forth.
Comment spam is so pointless and such a waste of time. It just shows how lazy these type of people are. Writing a decent comment that adds to the discussion only takes a few minutes.
Thanks Tom, I am a new baby in blog commenting, This post really enlighten my thoughts about blog commenting on do follow blogs. From how I\’ll follow the guide lines. Eealier I used to comment like \"Thanks for the post\" \"WOW!! great post\" ans so on.

I have one question regarding blog commenting. Currently, major blog comments are with no follow attribute. So, If I will submit comment on any blog with my domain name so, will it help me to get back links or search engine ranking. This is my mind bubble & want to discuss on this topic.
