Blog commenting has evolved of late. It is more like a social network , which involves

commenting the work of a fellow blogger there by getting a link to your work. Blog

commenting allows the visitors to involve in the discussion and valuable ideas and opinions

can be conveyed easily.

There is a SEO benefit involved in the process. You are allowed to put name and website

while commenting, which enables you to put the your website address and name. You can

put the anchor text you need for link in the name column. When google index these blog and

its comment your link is picked up as one way link. It help to move your site up in the search

engine.

But all these will work if everything is allowed by the webmaster on the other side. Most

people nowadays do not allow free one way link in the blog. so they change an important

aspect to be required for search engine. They change the comment as “no follow” tag

thereby any links from the comment is not valued by search engine.

Even some bloggers will not allow the anchor text in the name column, if you do so they will

reject the comment. Very handful of marketers allow this kind of links to go out from their

blog.

So you have a job to find the blog which allows the anchor text and do follow tag in the

comments to derive full benefit of the one way links.

The second most benefit is that you can involve in the discussion and contribute to the

discussion. This indirectly attrack visitors to your site, to view your blog, thereby increased

traffic to your site. This is a win win situation, where you contribute to the discussed and get

visitors.

So take blog commenting as a marketing tool in the web markeing arsenal.
