Why I’m Purchasing “Blog Comments”
When Looking at some of my sites top backlinks, I’ve noticed many are from blog comments lol. I’ve been testing building backlinks and root domains (unique sites linking to me) using blog comments and I’m actually getting grat results!
Bring back the good old days when you’d just spam the hell out of blog comments and rank in Google for keywords like Watches!
Well not really.
These days we are going about blog commenting completely different!
Don’t get me wrong there are still people I see getting backlinks from blog comments with promotional anchor text right inside their blog comments. (faceplant) And I see them ranking. (doh – homer simpson voice). If that’s not blatant spam I’m not quite sure what is…
How we did this by accident: We left quality blog comments on industry related sites. Simple.
The great thing is this is super simple for you to replicate!
Action Plan:
- Build a list of sites to comment on, here are some ideas:
– Sites you would like to read, or enjoy reading
– Sites in related industries
– Blog comments your competitors have built, etc. - Trim URLs to just the domain
- Go read their latest blog comment, write something awesome… NOT SPAM. A comment that actually shows that you read the blog post!
Another Takeaway: When you do this, you are creating a conversation with influencers, ie: blog owners in the niche… Guess what, when you reach out to them about a guest post or content collaboration you no longer are a stranger!
Yes this works for whatever kind of niche you want to market…
Outsourcing It:
After you have mastered it… Outsource it. I pay $2 per comment – and they are AMAZING comments. Frankly better than I would ever leave!
Results:
I have done this on a relatively brand new domain, only been working on it for 2.5 months and added 40 root domains (showing up in ahrefs) linking to the site so far from 100 live blog comments.
BEST of all the rankings, for the MAIN tier 1 keywords have improved nicely over the last 4-5 weeks since implementing. In fact, we’re already sitting in average position 27.44 and those are the biggest keywords in the niche in just 90 days.
The top competitors in the space doing mid 7 figures per year, to 8 figures a year in this niche have roughly 300 root domains.
The newer competitors or less SEO’d competitors have around 100 root domains.
We already have roughly 70 root domains showing up in ahrefs over the last 2.5 months.
Obviously, not all links we built end up showing in ahrefs as a backlink. This SEO stuff isn’t 100% EXACT. Just know that.
This is a SUPER, SUPER simple strategy you can implement RIGHT NOW 😉
Blog comments are NOT the only strategy we are using… We’re not going to be able to compete that way, PLUS we like a nice diverse/natural looking backlink profile.
I love it when things are simple! not completely clear on the “trim URL to just the domain” tho can you provide any clarifications there?
We always comment on the latest blog post not a post that was done 2 years ago. So we trim the url to the root… ie: https://digitaltriggers.io/… becomes https://digitaltriggers.io/ we go to that url find the latest post, read it, and provide an engaging comment.

Sounds like you are buying “Blog Comments”
Where, how, from whom?
I outsource it, not including vendors or Outsourcers here in public as they get used and abused and then aren’t good for anyone.
O.K. Thanks that helps
Thanks Joe. Traditionally blog commenters would include a link with keyword anchor text to their money site or property they were trying to rank. Obviously this got abused.
Are you doing this in your blog comment or are you using your profile link as the link back to your money site? Some blog platforms such as WordPress link the name of the poster to the link defined in the poster’s profile. Other platforms, like Disqus link the posters name to the posters profile instead.
I get the benefit of building up the number of referring domains through blog commenting. I am just trying to understand how you are structuring your links.
Structure of the link is simple. The name of the commenter or whatever name you want to use. Remember we are genuinely engageing with a great comment.
Hi Joe ….I’ve been on your list for awhile. And I’m finally ready to learn this – is there a place you would suggest for me as a beginner beginner beginner?
I think your asking about ranking a website… if so blog comments, citations, web2.0’s, are all great ways to build the number of domains that link to you. What people call Root Domains. Then once you start ranking for your keyword phrases naturally then you can start to get more targeted links with anchor text aimed at keywords you want to rank for.
G’day Joe ,Is that upward move on the chart related to just blog commenting on is own, or is that recorded after you have reached out and made guest posts or collaborated with the other blog owners ?
PS : Always finding value at Digital Triggers , that’s why we are always in your list
All that’s been done on the site is citations, a few web2.0s, 3-4 guest posts and blog comments.
Frankly all that’s been don’t in the last 2 months is blog comments.
You should be attributing major gains in the image above from blog comments and building up the root domains 👍
Good One , not as much as I thought you may have done ,thanks Joe , for getting back to me
