    This one always gets me , does anyone else think that blog commenting could actually be bad if done incorrectly ?

    What do i mean by incorrectly ?

    • Using Anchor text instead of your name
    • over doing it and commenting too much
    • commenting on things that are not related to your niche

    Id like to look at one of them three especially " Using Anchor text instead of your name" To me this is the a big no no, i personally believe that this could do more harm than good, I had a site penalised a couple of years ago and the only thing that i could narrow it down to was the commenting.

    Whats your views on this ? I know many people sware by it so im sure we will get many different views

    Well For me Blog Commenting is Always A good idea , not just because i am having back links because i am having lot of traffic to via blog commenting ... And i always like to search blogs those are relevant to mu sites niche and those show recent or most(top) Commenter on them blog ...Because of this i can get lot of Back link from them all pages ...so i think blog commenting is always Good , But For having good benefit from blog commenting , you always have to search related blog to your sites niche ... And you have to be A good commenter not Spammer ...

    Blog commenting establishes relationship or maybe partnership among bloggers. It provides user generated content which keeps a blog fresh in the eye of search engines. As long as the comments are valuable then, it'll be ok.

    Its good when you don't spam the site. Sometimes people forget to respect others so that they will over do the spamming, a single quality post for a comment is good specially it has weight in it otherwise its a scrap that will lead to be deleted by the admin or owner of the blog site.

    I don't think that's harmful at all. Because if that's true, that'd make it easy for some malicious person to harm the SERP of his opponent's website.

    Google knows this, so it can't be harmful.
