• The comment will always be part of the conversation–Relevant.
• I do not put links in my comments unless the comment is on one of my own blogs and I know it will be approved.
• Yes I comment on my own sites with other identities.
• My comment is always targeted at a keyword and to link back to a specific page on my site that is related to that keyword.
• I will include the keyword in the comment once if there is any way possible.
• I usually name my identity after the keyword.  Such as the keyword I am promoting is “Article spinning” I would leave comments under the identity of “Rick Article Spinning” and then sign the comment as Rick Article Spinning.  I use the URL for the actual page on Article spinning on my website like http://imbyrick.com/article-spinning/ not a link to the homepage.

The goal is to get the most value out of the comments you leave.  I do not worry too much about nofollow versus dofollow blogs.

More articles about my Comment Linking rules.

I start by going to “Advanced Search” and put in my subject. I then click the button for Questions and then the “Open Questions – Best answer has not been chosen.” I only want to see questions I am going to answer.

I will write a very detailed answer. I copy my answer to my website and then expand upon it some more and change it around enough so it is not “duplicate.”

I will publish this page on my website and then use this page to link to in the Yahoo Answers Link section.

This will get traffic and authority to your site.

This is a very easy way to figure out what people do not understand about your niche.

Over half the questions I have answered have picked my answer. I think the link is the same if you answer gets picked or not. I have even found some of these questions and answers in the Google index while I am looking for keywords.

Step Two.
You can create another Yahoo profile and ask the questions you know how to answer. Then go in as your answer profile write a good answer and link from the answer to the page on your website.

This is probably against the terms of Yahoo (I haven’t checked) but I would be suprized if it isn’t fairly common. I do not think Yahoo would really care as long as you are giving good information. The niches I am currently working on have plenty of questions so I have not created another profile yet.

I follow the same rules on Yahoo Answers as I do in making a comments.

Comments on Blogs
The easiest way to get links. You do not need any special software. Just a little bit of time and the ability to write something that makes sense.

For this example I will use “Credit Cards” as my Niche

Three simple steps
Go to Google and search for “Google Blog Search.”

Then in the Google Blog search search for your Niche “Credit Cards” or whatever niche you are working on.

Open up the first blog that comes up and search the page for “comment.”

Comment section
Look at the comment section. If they give you a spot for your URL then add your url. This will be a hyperlink under your name. If they do not give me a spot for my link I do not comment.

Now speed read the article and pick out something in the article relevant to your website. Make a comment. 20 to 50 words. Never repeat the same comment. Always write one that comes to mind from the article.

My email
I use a throwaway email address. I set it up on hotmail and open it up once in a while so it stays active.

Comment Name
This is important. This is the title of the link this website will be linking back to your website with. Since my name is Rick if my site was about credit cards I would use a name like “Credit Card Rick” or “Out of Debt Rick” or “Credit Card boy” or “Master of your Credit” whatever the keyword of the page I am linking back to is with Rick added to it.

If you just use your name then there will be a link to your website as “Rick.” This isn’t bad but a relevant link with the page keyword in it is way better.

If you notice I link back to my site as Rick Imby and the link is to ImbyRick?  Cute huh?

A few links before you go to bed everyday will help significantly in time. Make valuable comments. Like all your content you want it to be real. In time you will have a lot of relevant content on you site and also pointing to your site.

Make Comments instead of watching commercials. Quick and you don’t need to focus too hard.

Nofollow Comments
There is a lot written about how much good a Nofollow link does. I believe that a link without nofollow is a little more valuable but you I know the links that are Nofollow work in Google also.   I think the Nofollow, Dofollow issue is almost no longer an issue.

A Cold day out my office window.

When I find a Dofollow Blog
I often have several websites on the same subject. I will use the Dofollow blog to link to all of my sites in the niche. I will make only one comment per “Blog Post” but I will comment on my second site in that niche on a different post. I use different names usually. I am even more attentive to the comments to these blogs. I make longer more relevant comments.
