I will be showing you some recent blog comments on my website https://NicheSiteProject.com that are quite poorly done. My website gets a decent traffic count, and inevitable it will get some spams as well. The website content typically cover topics such as SEO and Internet Marketing in general, so I will have people in that space. These visitors are usually website owners themselves, so they would comment on my blog, hoping to get some link juice back to their site. However, they’re really doing a bad job at it.
 
One of my most popular posts in https://NicheSiteProject.com is about Private Blog Networks (PBNs), which is something that I actually don’t dabble on anymore. They’re quite effective but they’re just way too risky for me, I prefer to do guest postings nowadays. For privacy reasons, I’m going to blur out their names and URLs even though these wanna-be Internet Marketers are spamming my blog.
 
Let’s look at one of the bad comments on my blog. One of them here has foreign non-English characters, really bad. It has a very poor grammar, the comment is completely unrelated with the blog post. I’m definitely not going to approve this comment on my blog. Another one here has links that doesn’t make sense.
 
There’s one here that simply commented “Thanks” and that’s it. It’s fairly acceptable but it would be better if he gives more value to my blog post. It links back to a Pinterest page, that doesn’t really make sense if we’re strictly talking in terms of link building.
 
I have a blog post that delves deeper into doing blog commenting, check it out:

At any rate, let me just give you some tips for commenting on blogs. Firstly, you should read the blog post thoroughly and add in some more information that you feel would complement the post. You could give your personal opinion on it. It can either be the parts that you agree on, along with the parts that you disagree on. Please comment politely though, don’t be rude.
 
My personal favorite is to comment by asking questions. By doing this, it is quite likely that you will have a response from the blog author. You could follow it up by thanking him for the response. In networking aspects, it will also enable you to build relationship with him because he might remember you as of the better comments in his blog.
 
In terms of link building, commenting on blogs lets you have some NoFollow links back to your own sites. Even though NoFollow links do not pack as much Link Juice than contextual links that are relevant and from high-quality authoritative sites, it is definitely a good thing to have a diversity of links going to your sites from various domains.
 
Basically that’s what I think about Blog Commenting in general. I would usually mark the bad comments as Spam and get rid of them since they do not provide any value whatsoever to my blog posts. All the best with your blog commenting endeavor!
