SEO - Blog Comments Do Not Help Much to Increase Google Page Rank
There are many "SEO Gurus" that will tell you commenting on blogs can boost your pageranking a lot. These gurus are also the ones with page rank of 0. My blog is only one month old, and it is already PR 2. While there are people who claim they can get PR 4+ in less than a month, I am here to tell you what really works to increase your page rank FREE.
Your link to your site inside blog comments does not matter much to Google! It matters more to some search engines, but definitely not Google. It does not matter if the blog is DoFollow or NoFollow because Google is not looking into it seriously. I posted so many great comments in DoFollow blogs, and they did nothing to boost my page ranking. Trust me, I looked up DoFollow blog lists on Google, and commented on hundreds of blogs. If blog commenting mattered a lot to Google pageranking, wouldn't a lot of people have high page ranks by now since there are quite a few of blogs that are DoFollow with 5+ page ranking.
Basically, when someone writes about you or your website, they would generally add a backlink to your site inside the post. If the person did not add a backlink to your site, you can ask nicely to include one. You have a much better chance of getting noticed when your site has a similar niche as the author.
