Wordpress Gold Mine - Blogging for Profit

I get Google Alerts on the term “DoFollow Blogs” to keep up with what is going on in the dofollow blog world.  If you don’t know about Google Alerts, I have written a post about how I use Google Alerts to monitor keywords.

For a while I’ve been seeing a number of people looking to hire someone to do their dofollow blog commenting for them.

Commenting on dofollow blogs can be a tedious task, and I have considered hiring someone to do my commenting.  I have seen offers of around $70 to $100 for 100 comments, which seems to be a reasonable price.

Is it a good idea to free up your time to take care of more important things, by having someone building links by commenting on dofollow blogs?

It may be a good idea for you, but there are risks involved.  If you are going to have someone else represent you by commenting with links going to your site, you need to be clear on what you are expecting of that person.

I would be clear about how many comments I want per day.  You don’t want all 100 links done in one day, but rather have them spread out over 2-4 weeks.

You want to make sure your person for hire knows where you want those links placed.  Do you want them on blogs related to your niche?  Do you want them on blogs related to your niche, and they must be dofollow blogs?

Do you want them on dofollow blogs only, preferably related to your niche, but some may be in other niches?  What percentage could be in other niches?

Are there niches you don’t want your comments placed on?  Make sure to spell out where you don’t want them posted.

Do you have Google PR requirements?  For example 20% on PR 4 or above, 30% on PR2 and PR3 and the rest on PR1 and above.

Are you going to provide the blogs to comment on, or are you doing to ask your hire to do that?

Do you require the comments be a certain length?  Perhaps a minimum of 150 characters?

I would be clear that you expect those comments to be quality comments, related to the post.

I would also provide keywords that you want your person to use for the website title, and provide them with the actual links you want them to use.

How are you going to monitor, or spot check, that good comments are being created?  Are you going to ask your person for hire to provide a list of all posts they comment on?

Wow, that’s a lot to ask of someone to do blog commenting, for me anyway.  I really don’t know if I could find someone to do my commenting for around $1 per comment, with all my requirements.

I guess that’s why I’m not hiring out dofollow blog comments.  Plus, I don’t know that I could trust anyone to represent me and my business when it comes to commenting on blogs.  So, I’ll just continue doing it myself.

    Those requirements seem tough for sure. Especially since after commenting on wordpress blogs for a month your domain gets spam blocked by Akismet, so you’re left looking for another way to get easy backlinks.

  2. real on June 5th, 2009 9:15 pm

    This is just awesome.. Amazing post man! Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.

    I was thinking about all of the blogs that have their comment sections with the do follow attribute. There are newbies who purchases links for their blog when they can just leave a comment on a do follow blog. When you’re new to blogging, it’s important to not spend any money.

  3. Robert from Ebook Blog on June 5th, 2009 9:54 pm

    I also prefer to post myself comments on blogs. If you’re doing something wrong when comment on blogs, and Akismet see you as a spammer, you can’t post your comments to any blog? Or just to that one?

  4. Adam Green on June 6th, 2009 1:45 am

    I can’t imagine hiring out blog commenting. It isn’t just about the backlinks, it is about what people read in relation to your site. I’m also wondering about the concern over dofollow. I know form our research that the vast majority of sites do have NoFollow by default, such as all Wordpress blogs, but I’m able to steadily increase the ranking of sites by following them. Does it really matter?

  5. Snv from Seo expert uk on June 8th, 2009 8:37 am

    Finding this blog really hepful to know about actually what is hiring out blog commenting….and keeping me in track to do the value added comments on the blog to be not get caught by the spam filters…..

  6. tom from Gry Dla Dzieci on June 8th, 2009 9:50 am

    I never outsource stuff to people I don’t know. The least they should have is a recommendation from my friends. Preferably I’d like to know them personaly.

  7. Pawan from Management College In Indore on June 8th, 2009 11:10 am

    really like the idea of comment luv since it is a way to return the web back to being a collaboratives place. I think when you first put up your site you are excited and feel like your content will take over the world then you quickly realize that the only way to keep up there in search rankings is by building relationships with other webmasters.

  8. jose on June 8th, 2009 1:06 pm

    Nice info..
    I just still curious. Is it affected our pagerank by turning our blog comment into dofollow ?

  9. Stu from Remote Data Backup VAR on June 9th, 2009 2:08 am

    Not sure I’d hire out comments, it is tempting, but I’d want to see some examples of their work first.

  10. amy from mold removal on June 9th, 2009 4:27 am

    I think your better off doing the comments yourself. This way you read the post find ones that interest you or are related in topic. Some people who do the comments do not even check if they are follow links or have changed to no follow so your better off doing this work yourself.

  11. funny computer blog on June 9th, 2009 12:42 pm

    I strongly agree with you, as good as we know about other people that will represent our site, surely better if we do it yourself.

  12. Tiffy from st louis karate on June 9th, 2009 1:27 pm

    Sometimes, you just have too many things to handle by yourself. That’s why some people would end up hiring people to comment on do follow blogs. There’s nothing wrong with it, really. You just have to make sure that they go by your standards.

  13. Adam from Sketch of the Day on June 11th, 2009 2:52 am

    You came to the same conclusion I would have. I wouldn’t judge anybody who decided differently, but at the end of the day I only trust myself to represent me.

  14. Think Free on June 11th, 2009 3:45 am

    Really interesting post. I would have never thought of hiring someone to do my blog readin’ and commentin’. I don’t think I’d trust someone to do it for me, besides I enjoy the opportunity to read posts like these. :)

  15. miyaka from contemporary furniture on June 12th, 2009 6:39 am

    It is also good to hire person for your blog comments as long as it is comments that contribute instead of blatant ads then it is really not a big deal.

  16. Zac from Electric Wok on June 12th, 2009 7:18 am

    Like you, I wouldn’t trust any link building activities to a third party and certainly not blog commenting.

    At $1 per comment, I can’t believe the comments are going to be well reasoned and more likely to be considered spam.

  17. Tom from herbal fiberblend on June 12th, 2009 12:20 pm

    I think the main issue, as you mentioned, relates to the quality of the comment. You see so many keyword stuffed comments that use poor english. You’d have to agree that the cost was for approved comments although it would be a big job to go back and check every comment on every blog was approved – its a tedious job but one probably better done ‘in-house’!

  18. Deniel from cheap web hosting on June 12th, 2009 12:26 pm

    I can see thousands comments on blogs which are spammy and one liner stating that they will come back on the blog and this and that. I think it is just a stupid thing to avail those services because they are just crap.

  19. Sarah on June 12th, 2009 6:37 pm

    Nice post. I am new to the bloging world and I wanted to know what is the best way to promote my blog site here in Dallas.

  20. Cell Phone PDA on June 13th, 2009 1:04 pm

    Hi, thanks for the article, the dofollow blog comment are very important in SEO

  21. weight loss pills on June 13th, 2009 10:28 pm

    About not getting 100 links done in 1 day: not sure if it will cause a penalty as it’s something that a competitor can do and it doesn’t make sense that something a competitor can do will hurt a site.

  22. Boris from Arizona SEO Solutions on June 15th, 2009 12:26 am

    We offer our client link building services and link building training. Most opt for the training due to the high cost of links!

  23. real estate agents on June 15th, 2009 7:08 am

    the do follow blog comments give the boost to your site. this is necessary phase of search engine optimization process.

  24. Daniel from Low carbs on June 15th, 2009 1:47 pm

    I think your idea is right – keep it in house, it is a boring, time consuming job but only you know you will do it properly and not give you and your site a bad name – its a shame there’s not a quick fix but them I suppose everyone would do it!

  25. David Promotional items on June 16th, 2009 4:27 am

    Hey Dude the idea behind commenting yourself to the blogs is awesome!!!!! Because you can’t trust anyone to represent you.

  26. Elina on June 17th, 2009 10:23 am

    I think do follow comments are pretty much worthless. In my opinion, any free and easy made link building techniques are bound to be valued poorly by Google.

  27. minneapolis seo on June 17th, 2009 1:27 pm

    As many have stated, i wouldn’t trust others writing comments on others blogs. When i write on someones blog i represent my site. By doing my best to contribute quality posts i make sure that people know that im not just spamming my website but contributing a quality comment and being rewarded with a quality link.

    The trade off sounds fair to me, i won’t let anyone ruin it… at least for my site. :)

  28. aditya from Guaranteed SEO on June 18th, 2009 8:10 am

    Hi,
    Very nice post.
    You are right that the time in which you are commenting for your site is very important.it is important that if you are commenting 100 comment than it should be done in the 3-4 days.
    If you have done 100 comment in one day it is not beneficial much.

  29. Animation Programs on June 19th, 2009 7:19 am

    Commenting is the new way to increase interaction with visitor and site so it very important that you post very niche and true comment about that services, products please do not post comment for getting links!!!

    may be i m wrong but this my personal feeling that i want to share that it !!

  30. Dan Kooper from bad credit payday on June 21st, 2009 8:05 am

    Yeah I totally am on the same page with you about hiring out your do-follow link building. However, there is a slight problem:

    How to count all the links the person gets in a day? Some blogs dont approve until days later.

    $1.00 does seem like a reasonable rate but you will get much better results of you up it to $2.

  31. francis from modern fabric sofa on June 22nd, 2009 8:35 am

    I’m wondering how Akismet is distinguishing spammers from actual blog commentors? Hiring some backlink builders is very much in nowadays, it is helpful in a way but needs constant updates from time to time because some other blog owners switching off do-follow attribute after reaching their desired page rank.

  32. Tony from Stag night in Krakow on June 23rd, 2009 8:34 am

    I believe, that the $1 price is high enough IF you outsource that service to eastern Europe or some other countries, where wages are a lot lower.

    One thing bugs me – do you (all people who provide such service:) ) charge for _posting_ a comment, or for the fact, that the comment has been approved and therefore the risk lays on you?

  33. ilaçlama on June 23rd, 2009 2:40 pm

    I strongly agree with you, as good as we know about other people that will represent our site, surely better if we do it yourself.

  34. Exposed on June 23rd, 2009 4:37 pm

    It is always better to do it yourself if you have the resources. It saves so much money when you can do a job internally rather than hiring an independent to do the work for you.

  35. Biodun from Online Dating on June 24th, 2009 11:25 am

    Time is really can not permit getting links by myself. Hiring a link builder can make the work easier however, what is important is giving instructions.
    For example if i need hosting related link that week, i will specific highlight it and the number of links needed. So i get on with that even with blog commenting…

  36. Jerry from Telefontarife on June 24th, 2009 2:13 pm

    Linkbuilding is hard work if you really want to create huge amounts of links. But it may improve your rankings, so I could imagine to hire someone for that job.

  37. Michael from Los Angeles Movers on June 24th, 2009 4:40 pm

    If you can find someone you trust to do it right, then it’s usually a good idea. You could try it on another blog that is not your primary one, and if you are satisfied with the results you will know that you can trust that person or company.

  38. Katie from Simple Scrapbooking on June 26th, 2009 5:49 am

    You’re right, it certainly can be a tedious task, but the benefits of it are really worth it to me. A lot of the time I think that there’s a dangerous line with commenting because a lot of it can just turn into spam so quickly. One thing that has to be absolutely clear is that you have to contribute to the post, intelligently and respectfully.

  39. photo on June 26th, 2009 6:18 am

    In my opinion, any free and easy made link building techniques are bound to be valued poorly by Google. But why noy try?=)

  40. Winson John on June 26th, 2009 8:27 pm

    This is great post with awesome information. I recently changed my blog to do-follow and have seen rise in number of visitors commenting on my blog.

    Regarding hiring someone to do commenting, I feel its better to do the job yourself. Quality of work & output is much better when promotion is done by owner of blog itself.

  41. Allan from Rabbit Insurance on June 28th, 2009 9:33 am

    I think something like bog commenting benefits both the commenter and the blogger. Bloggers get more content and commenters get a link back to their site.

    True it does require more work but also provides useful content. As long as bloggers continue to moderate the obvious spam I see it as a legitimate way of promoting sites.

  42. Sam from Car accident claims on June 28th, 2009 6:37 pm

    Completely agree with above post. Blog comments
    helps both the commenter and blogger. So its a great idea to implement on our own blog..

  43. Andrej from apartments Bohinj on June 29th, 2009 7:51 am

    Also thought about that sort of ‘outsourcing’ and came to same conclusions. Also a lot of my keywords have special characters that aren’t usual for English language and explaining the importance of these characters would be very tiring:).

  44. Drew from Unternehmen-umweltschutz on June 29th, 2009 12:19 pm

    I agree with you, if you will hire dofollow comments, you must be clear on what you are expecting from the person you hired. To be sure if your hire is doing good work and posting quality comments, you can have a trial work for 2 weeks to see his work and verify the quality of the comments.

  45. Ninah from Free Articles for Sites on June 30th, 2009 1:13 am

    I wouldn’t hire anyone to do my commenting for me simply because I enjoy doing it myself. I enjoy commenting so much that I might consider putting myself up for hire. Haha

    Also, it is a difficult job to get good help. Things could turn ugly for you if you are trying to make a brand out of yourself and hired help botches your comments and makes you look like… you know what I mean

  46. roxcy from Steel Buildings on June 30th, 2009 8:32 am

    hi I was thinking about all of the blogs that have their comment sections with the do follow attribute,but I agree with you, if you will hire dofollow comments, you must be clear on what you are expecting from the person you hired.thanks

  47. Terry from Laboratory Coat on July 1st, 2009 5:40 am

    The last point you made is what I think the most important thing. If you have someone making comments for you, they have to know how you want your company to be represented.

    The way I see it, you can either give them the license to say that they own the business they are building links for or just do the commenting on your own.

    Some may like the latter while some may like the first choice. To each his own right?

  48. Anna from Zegarki on July 1st, 2009 1:06 pm

    I wouldn’t trust just anyone with this tasks. It’s too easy to get banned by google and I’ve figured out that spending 30 minutes/day on commenting blogs (that I like) to add several comments is perfectly within my range. that’s 100$ bucks I can say my blog has earned me ;)

  49. Omomo on July 2nd, 2009 2:14 am

    Hiring somewant to comments seems to me a little bit ridicoulus. It would be banned by google I think… If it for building backlink, it must be looked as a normal activities.
    Blogging for me is a kind of hobby that for some result may give another benefit in bucks, right? :)

  50. Sam Trend on July 3rd, 2009 12:44 am

    I suppose it depends on what do you expect of your site. If it is a part-time project aimed on short-lived popularity, then buying comments is acceptable. But with real long-term projects you better be caring about quality of your backlinks as well as quantity.

  51. Gino from Scarpe da ginnastica on July 3rd, 2009 9:15 pm

    Once i kind of outsorced this task by telling a friend to comment on some blog. My friend was too happy to help me and commented on a lot of blogs in just two days. Result: akismet blocked him so he cannot comment anymore. Since then i just comment by myself and with caution.

  52. Donnie from Chattanooga Web Design on July 4th, 2009 3:26 am

    Backlinking is a very important thing. If you are doing quite a bit of it for SEO clients, it might be a good idea to train your staff on the proper way. I don’t think it is something that you can just trust someone to do and hope they know how. Maybe SEO people should have someone on staff that just specializes in it. Think of it like comic books. The penciler doesn’t usually letter the comic, but a letterer who specialized in that skill does.

  53. Pip on July 5th, 2009 12:42 pm

    Blogging really enriches our knowledge apart from getting links posted for some bucks.I personally did get some decent PR by commenting in do follow blogs. But when i stand and see now i am happy to see how much i have learned through this on all subjects. Really a win-win game!

  54. developerholic on July 7th, 2009 7:52 am

    hiring someone you knew to do the commenting for you is actually OK. It would make your life less stressful, so long the rules are followed.

  55. Dave from Resveratrol Ultra on July 7th, 2009 3:33 pm

    Good points. It’s tempting to use a commenting service as long as you can ensure that the quality is good. I’ve received so many comments on my blog that have nothing to do with the subject which only gets them deleted. Thanks for the article.

  56. Linda from ladwebdesign.com on July 7th, 2009 9:51 pm

    For web site owners who are branding themselves as the “product”, certainly posting your own comments on blogs makes sense. However, if you have a niche where you are branding your product in some other way – for example, the actual product could be software or an e-book where samples and testimonials would be provided – then hiring someone to comment on blogs for you might make sense, especially if you are looking for some backlinks in order to increase your search engine ranking.

    Definitely something to think about.

  57. Immigration to Australia on July 8th, 2009 3:16 am

    Hiring out someone to post blog comments is pretty risky, especially since the content should be relevant and informative. When someone else posts the comment, you also tend to worry about the quality of the post; or else it would be flagged as spam. The comment is useless once it gets deleted.

  58. Alfred on July 8th, 2009 6:49 pm

    I’ve been doing SEO for my website (That’s why I’m here) and had no idea that I could actually be paid that much just to leave some decent blog comments. I knew that it was part of what SEO firms did, but I didn’t know it could be a stand alone job.

  59. Frank from Cleveland Movers on July 8th, 2009 7:13 pm

    I can definitely see how it could make sense to hire out if you’re really busy, since it’s a pretty time consuming task. But you need to make sure that the people you hire are dependable or you’ll end up with a lot of comments that are irrelevant and get deleted.

  60. steel buildings on July 8th, 2009 8:58 pm

    This is just good.. Amazing post man! Thanks a lot and keep up the good work and share to this information.Maybe SEO people should have someone on staff that just specializes in it.

  61. lee from feather flags on July 10th, 2009 10:24 am

    I have to agree with you that $70-$100 of 100 dofollow blogs really worth it. Person who are hiring agents to do blog commenting for them are exactly taking a risk. I think they would prefer to take the risk than making a time consuming task.

  62. TigerTom from Secured Loans UK on July 11th, 2009 5:21 pm

    Nah, just get a list of do-follow blogs and do it yourself. If you hire someone, you’ll have 100 cr*p comments on 100 mediocre blogs unrelated to your site.

  63. Horny from Motorbike accident claims on July 13th, 2009 6:17 pm

    Hi there,
    I’m ready to do your do follow task. please let me know if you are interested. I love to do blog comments, its the best way to get more knowledge..

  64. Harry from work at home on July 14th, 2009 5:32 pm

    I fully agree with you that $70-$100 of 100 dofollow blogs really worth it. hiring a person for do follow task really a time consuming task. It will take more time and output is very less..

  65. Andy1st Great Barr Driving School on July 14th, 2009 11:21 pm

    I think hiring people for the dofollow blog commenting is a great idea. Its less time consuming as many people can be doing it and it boosts economy a great deal. I think its worth going after.

  66. SEO training on July 15th, 2009 3:44 pm

    Thanks for all of the do follow information. I recently read an article on do follow and never realized that many of the sites for which I left valuable comments provided very little back to me. Can you tell me how the track backs work and if that provides any link juice?

  67. David from IT Outsourcing on July 16th, 2009 7:56 am

    Link Building is a time consuming process. It should be thought of as a long term goal.Blog commenting requires a lot of time as we need to search the blogs that are dofollow and in your niche.The comments need to be useful and relevant to the post.Rather than hiring its better that this job be done by ourselves

  68. Teeth whitening on July 16th, 2009 10:40 am

    Finding this blog really hepful to know about actually what is hiring out blog commenting.Blog commenting requires a lot of time as we need to search the blogs that are dofollow and in your niche.

  69. Buy Acai Berry on July 16th, 2009 10:50 am

    I recently read an article on do follow and never realized that many of the sites for which I left valuable comments provided very little back to me.

  70. Kreskowki on July 16th, 2009 3:17 pm

    You have to make sure that the person posting the comments knows what they’re doing. Because if they’re going to post “nice post, I loved it!” in every comment you’ll not only look foolish (as they sign as you) but also might get into some spam filters and never be able to post comments again. It’s worth taking time to investigate the person you’re going to hire.

  71. provillus for women on July 16th, 2009 10:09 pm

    great tips you got here, yes is true doing dofollow comment is a hard task, and hiring some1 could be a good solution, you said $1 per comment, where you get these prices?

  72. City of Hotels on July 17th, 2009 8:07 pm

    If you want to promote your site, using dofollow blogs – better do it yourself. Someone else can spoil the whole game.

  73. ps3 on July 18th, 2009 2:01 pm

    I’ve seen people offered service like this everywhere, some have very advanced knowledge and tools and even make reports for you. Maybe I should give them a try.

  74. Bob Duncan from Piano Lessons on July 18th, 2009 11:41 pm

    There is NO ONE you can trust to get it right when it comes to your baby. No one can be as discriminating as you. If you want your site promoted properly, you have to do it yourself.

  75. Rom from Rom machine on July 19th, 2009 11:46 am

    Yes, dofollow blog comment is hot in SEO market. for instant backlinks & fast cache by search engines.

  76. James from Best Birthday Gifts on July 19th, 2009 3:28 pm

    It’s a bad idea to hire out people to do your blog comments. A few bad comments and your domain could get put into the akismet (sp?) spam service and then your SOL. Best to do your own!

  77. Mobile Shop on July 19th, 2009 6:38 pm

    Now a days its hard to find blogs without nofollow tags, and this will really helpful for blog owners to add quality links to their blogs.

  78. seopositive on July 20th, 2009 8:16 am

    Really very nice post. Comments in do follow blogs will help to increase page rank. Thanks for the valuable information.

  79. Harry from khalid on July 20th, 2009 8:21 am

    Internet is Business. Not many people realize how true these words are. When people think about business, some hardly connect the internet to the concept and disregard the power behind this somewhat uncharted territory of the economic world…found more at http://mpzik.org

  80. katy personal injury attorney on July 20th, 2009 4:10 pm

    I agree it is a tedious chore, but I still think it is better to post the post your own comments.

  81. Bauhaus Furniture on July 21st, 2009 3:00 am

    do follow blogs are essential to an SEO. it is their life gauge. the more links they have the more successful their work will become. it is a big help for them.

  82. Cyn on July 21st, 2009 1:02 pm

    I always wonder how do we change our blog to a do follow blog so we can register our blog with the do follow blog directory. pls advise tks

  83. James from 32 LCD TV on July 21st, 2009 5:02 pm

    I think the major issue that comes from outsourcing blog comments is cost. Most beginners will use blog commenting to get a foothold but, as many of them don’t have much money to start with they go for the cheap option which almost inevitably leads to poor results. Having gone this path in the early days I know the perils.

  84. scott from Top GBG Distributor on July 21st, 2009 6:49 pm

    Great post and suggestions, Mike. To make the comment posting task more efficient I’ve been using Comment Kahuna lately – great software and it’s free.

  85. bodrum property on July 22nd, 2009 3:56 am

    i appreciate your dofollow movement first of all, and now regarding hiring the people for blog commenting, i don’t think that anyone should hire anyone for doing blog comment, because blog comment must be relevent to the topic and if you want your comments for particular niche then no one can do better comment than you.

  86. Blues on July 22nd, 2009 2:56 pm

    This is really useful especially that page rank i’m going to increase my page rank and backlinks, so planning to hire someone but little scared about the rates.

    I also prefer to post myself comments on blogs. If you’re doing something wrong when comment on blogs, and Akismet see you as a spammer, you can’t post your comments to any blog? Or just to that one?

  88. prozac online on July 24th, 2009 8:48 am

    Interesting point you have there in your post. Blog commenting is very useful to generate good and quality backlinks. I prefer to do it my own but it is very hard to do if you own a bunch of sites.

  89. tracy from addi knitting on July 24th, 2009 5:21 pm

    There is no way I would hire someone to do my dofollow comments. In order to get someone who actually reads the post, meets your requirements, and represents your company in a way that keeps a positive online presence.

  90. zuala from shopping cart software on July 27th, 2009 8:08 am

    I have read many of your blog posts. I found that there are very interesting and informative, especially about dofollow comments. But sometime do comment (like spam comment) on blogs or other sites can ruin our site, right?

    I am looking for a service similar to Google Alerts (it only support keywords). I need one that alerts me whenever a new web page is added or web page content is updated. The web site I want to monitor does not have RSS option

  92. property investors on July 27th, 2009 10:57 am

    nice explainatino on pros and cons on hire to do follow blog commenting.

  93. Jade from Outdoor Camping Gear on July 27th, 2009 1:36 pm

    I’d not heard of the Google Alerts, thanks for mentioning them. I am new to all this online promotion and am trying to learn how to do it myself. Knowing when things change sounds very useful to me.

  94. Web Design on July 27th, 2009 5:06 pm

    It’s a judgment call whether to outsource commend dropping or not. Your advice to spread them all out over 2 to 4 weeks is sound. Google does not like artificially manipulated increases in inbound links. They like everything steady and on a normal curve.

  95. shoe trees on July 27th, 2009 7:42 pm

    Interesting information about Blog Commenting is shared.A service which supports keywords is really amazing. Enjoy it now. Thanks for sharing.

  96. Merryjazz on July 28th, 2009 1:28 am

    Yes, the usual rate for comment writing is $1 per visible comment. My clients pay me 50% as partial payment but we have an agreement that all the comments should be visible after 10 days before that gave the final pay to me. They are not strict in keywords but I must leave relevant comments.

  97. Tipsberry on July 28th, 2009 7:12 am

    I agree with you. I set my blog dofollow too, so they can free to come and comment on it. I don’t care about google PR.

  98. Producent Schodow on July 28th, 2009 1:01 pm

    I always write my comments myself, there is no point in hiring someone for the job I could do on my own. On the other way if I had to make daily about 500 posts that would be a challenge even for a person that possessed magical power of using ten pairs of hands on ten different computers at the same time. But as long as it is impossible – I don’t disagree with people who like to hire other to comment blogs and websites. It’s just a job like any other – as long as they do not write anything illegal, which would be pretty stupid according to the goal they want to achieve.

  99. Jason on July 28th, 2009 5:12 pm

    Nearly a $1 a post seems rather steep to me!

  100. DeveloperNetwork on July 28th, 2009 6:33 pm

    @Jason i agree with you.
    There has been 105 reponses to this post ,excluding mine, and that would be $105.
    You could get a good Virtual server for 1-3 months with that amount of cash.

  101. Mark Walusimbi on July 28th, 2009 7:31 pm

    What? Can’t imagine hiring out blog commenting. Website content is what’s matters and not who visits your site. What you offer is key.

  102. Matty from Make Money Online on July 29th, 2009 8:38 am

    I would say that $100 for 100 comments is a very steep price. Using a blog commenter which inputs your details, all you need to do is write a brief message and hit ok.

  103. purva from accident injury claim on July 31st, 2009 6:42 am

    Hi, getting backlinks or inbound links from dofollow is very easy. But getting quality backlinks or inbound links is a difficult task.

  104. erotiske artikler on August 2nd, 2009 4:22 am

    “Commenting on dofollow blogs can be a tedious task, and I have considered hiring someone to do my commenting. I have seen offers of around $70 to $100 for 100 comments, which seems to be a reasonable price.”

    Yes, this is really a good idea. It’s a reasonable pay too. But as you’ve said, it’s difficult too.

  105. cheap nhl jerseys on August 2nd, 2009 9:27 am

    I would be clear about how many comments I want per day. You don’t want all 100 links done in one day, but rather have them spread out over 2-4 weeks”
    This is horrible…

    Linkbuilding is hard work if you really want to create huge amounts of links. But it may improve your rankings, so I could imagine to hire someone for that job.

    Yeah, hiring someone to do the job seems like a better idea..

    I have not known Google Alerts yet and just testing it now! And I can see that it simply great!

  110. SEO on August 5th, 2009 6:11 pm

    Yeah, outsourcing the comment posting job is a bit difficult to manage, but I don’t think it is that difficult. You can simply ask the person to send you the URL where the comments are posted.

  111. Sally on August 6th, 2009 4:16 pm

    I’m in the same boat as you, I thought about hiring someone to do my commenting for me but with clever time management, I found out I could fit in 10 comments a day and do my article writing too

  112. july from free music downloads on August 7th, 2009 9:03 am

    For lack of time i could not spend for my site link building i hire other to do command on other blogs. But i am afraid that they are doing spam my site.

  114. custom logo design on August 8th, 2009 10:20 am

    to hire someone for commenting is really a risky thing because a hired person would never do the work with hpassion he might use wrong niches or do the work at bulk which can hurt ou

  115. windows xp forum on August 9th, 2009 4:50 am

    “It may be a good idea for you, but there are risks involved.”

    I agree with you here.

    “So, I’ll just continue doing it myself.”

    I guess if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

    “It may be a good idea for you, but there are risks involved. If you are going to have someone else represent you by commenting with links going to your site, you need to be clear on what you are expecting of that person.”

    I have been contemplating on hiring someone to do this for me and your tips are really helpful. Thanks!

  117. info techno on August 10th, 2009 10:27 am

    I think, better to rent than own comment people. it can generate a lot of comments but because of the limitations of cost that is not comparable with the results obtained will lead to losses.

  118. voguehit from chanel bags on August 11th, 2009 6:33 am

    I meet the same problem with you.I have a blog and a website,I’m also wondering is it really a good method to hire somebody to comment on blogs represent myself? At least,I consist on posting my comments by myself.I think I should read the articles at first before I make the comment to avoid spammers.

  119. Martin on August 11th, 2009 1:32 pm

    I don’t know if I could hire someone to write dofollof comments for me. It’s not that I don’t trust anyone but I would not put my reputation on someone else hands. I think that what I write myself is mine in some sort of way, and that is important to me. I think that many of people would understand that attitude. In other way I must admit that hiring someone to write comments for me could be very beneficial. That is something that I must admit.

  120. cougars mature on August 11th, 2009 10:43 pm

    “Wow, that’s a lot to ask of someone to do blog commenting, for me anyway. I really don’t know if I could find someone to do my commenting for around $1 per comment, with all my requirements.”

    You are probably right in saying that it would be difficult to look for someone to perform blog commenting for you but you will never know.

  121. Dubai Property Portal on August 12th, 2009 8:18 am

    Killy,
    Yes Getting back links is a difficult job but still it improves your ranking.. Do follow blogs helps in developing back links which is much supportive.

  122. milly from preston web design on August 13th, 2009 3:30 pm

    If you are going to pay somebody make sure you pay enough, Ive heard of people paying for these 40 comments for $9 affairs and simply getting a load of ‘cool blog’ comments – and even then, most of them were not approved.

    Using Do-follow blog is easy, its my experience of current days.You are offering nice job, I am interested for this.Blogging can increase your page rank.But its not taught to submit blog comments on do-follow blogs.GO enjoying with do-follows.

  126. Dave from kauf auf rechnung on August 16th, 2009 9:03 pm

    Yeah, I agree – it’s best to do it yourself. I wouldn’t trust anybody since you never know if they really stick to what you tell them to do. And if you have to double-check everything, you’re just wasting yout time.

  127. agence web paris on August 18th, 2009 2:24 pm

    commenting yourself is still the best solution because you know your website better than anybody else , but it takes a lot of time , and everybody can’t afford to spend this time.

    if you choose to hire somebody you have to make sure he fully understand what you expect from him and what he can or can not say !

  128. Steve from Search Engine Markeing Specialists on August 18th, 2009 5:58 pm

    Right now I make my own comments but depending on the size of the campaign there may come a time where you need to hire someone.

  131. Phil from Free PS3 Slim on August 19th, 2009 7:15 am

    Great post. I don’t think I could trust someone else to do it for me. Sure it can be tedious but if I was going to let someone do this it would have to be someone I trust. Dofollow blog comments are very important in SEO so I would like to mostly do them myself!

  132. Dubai Property Portal on August 19th, 2009 10:07 am

    Yes, Do follow blogs are much valuable for website owners…. But still it has to be done with care to avoid spamming.

  133. Ventrilo on August 20th, 2009 12:36 pm

    Do follow blogs are necessary but they need to be done by website owners. You need someone you can trust if you are not doing them yourself. Thanks for sharing.

  134. erotiske artikler on August 20th, 2009 1:38 pm

    Hiring someone to write a comment on do-follow blogs for you could seem to make your task less tedious. However, how could you ensure that the comments are not written so badly? Do you have to check them all? Isn’t that a tedious task too?

  135. cheap domain names on August 21st, 2009 11:32 am

    yes definitely you have said very right about the hiring process for the do follow commenting i usually take services from my facebook account but i get the expected results so i think i am the lucky guy because till now i haven’t faced any problem but i will keep your tips in my mind!

  136. Danny from New York Hair Extensions on August 21st, 2009 3:57 pm

    Those requirements are asking a lot, espescially depending on how competitive your field is. That may be tough for even an SEO expert to accomplish.

  137. shraddha from the self love project on August 21st, 2009 11:12 pm

    This is very relevant article.
    I am one of those who plan to hire a commenter as we build our income on our blog.Infact i started out alone but no have a co-blogger as its just difficult to keep up.
    Also i do not know why some commenters are having problems with akismet.
    From what i know..if you comment during the course of day…i just keep my google reader open and keep commenting when ever i get a chance…i have never had a problem with commenting…and i comment a lot.
    Also one more….does google really identify comment links as links? because i have not seen any of mine popping up on link search!!!

  138. Ben from wow gold guides on August 22nd, 2009 12:49 am

    Outsourcing is a great way to build up your Internet business. The key is to “train” someone to post comments the way you want it done. I have three people working for me. One of the gals has been writing articles for me but wants more work, soooo, I created a tutorial on how to do blog posting for me.

    I will pay her a good fee after posting, and a bonus when the posts are accepted. This way she is posting quality comments and getting paid a nice bonus to do-it-my-way. ;)

  139. Thom from Frozen Drink Machine on August 22nd, 2009 1:31 am

    I like the idea of outsourcing, but I have a fear that the quality I would get would indeed be sub par. I don’t think I would pay a lot for someone to post comments. Then again, I may just be a control freak.

  140. Betty from Watch Ugly Betty Online on August 23rd, 2009 4:24 am

    I don’t have any requirements on backlink building, because a back link is a backlink, every backlinks matter a lot, unless it is from linkfarms, then it’s bad, but PR doesn’t matter as much to me. :)

  141. Coupons on August 24th, 2009 11:04 pm

    The problem with hiring out comments, is that all those comments are very generic and seldom get approved by the site administrator. So you’re really not getting much for your money in the end.

  142. Anti Cellulite Shoes on August 24th, 2009 11:29 pm

    The problem I have with hiring out people is that you can’t trust their work. Personally I find myself double checking them so I might as well do it myself.

  143. Jungle Baby Shower Invitations on August 24th, 2009 11:39 pm

    Yeah and you can bet that the comments won’t get approved because they will be totally irrelevant to the post.

  144. Thomas Catmark on August 25th, 2009 9:14 am

    I think that hiring someone to do comments for you is very bad idea. No because you will have to pay for a thing that you can do on your own, but can you trust alien person that will make your blog more visible and won’t destroy your reputation? If you trust such person it is a lot easier, but if you are not, you would have to read all comments before paying for them and that also takes much time. So maybe it is better and cheaper to write on your own?

  145. Road traffic accident on August 26th, 2009 6:44 am

    Well, I already followed steps from instructions, but it did not work. On the left hand below the page views, I did not find the quick comment box. I also went to Settings ( settings –> who can post comment ?, but I did not see “Enable Quick Comment “. And, went to my page as well, but nothing came up :( (. Anyone, please help me. Thanks so much. Have u all have a wonderful sunday.

  146. inbound call center on August 27th, 2009 10:43 am

    Hey its really awesome blog. I learned about the Google alerts from your blog. $70 to $100 for 100 comments, i think reasonable price. great.

  147. Arabic SEO on August 27th, 2009 12:57 pm

    Another risk for hiring people to do your blog comments would be publishing off-topic comments or just general “give me a link” comments.

    Although the price is cheap, but they should at least scan the post and write something useful.

  148. awesome personalised gift ideas on August 28th, 2009 11:42 am

    yeah it’s all well doing it yourself if you have the time to be doing 100 blog comments in the month. I guess if you spread it out in the month it’s not too bad.
    blog commenting should be a part of your ongoing SEO strategy, to increase the distance between yourself and your competitors.
    It’s important to have variations on the anchor text keywords, to avoid raising suspicions.

  149. mirc on August 28th, 2009 9:43 pm

    The problem with hiring out comments, is that all those comments are very generic and seldom get approved by the site administrator.thanks

  150. Cool Promotional Items on August 29th, 2009 2:20 pm

    This is wonderful information! Thanks for sharing your insights. I believe you can hire someone to post dofollow comments; you just have to know the person and trust him/her.

  151. Free Online Traffic on August 30th, 2009 1:58 am

    Yes. I am also one of the dofollow blog poster. One person had hired me for $50 for to make the 100 comments on do follow blogs. But, he didn’t pay me anything for the comments I made. He cheated me.

  152. Houston Heights Homes on August 30th, 2009 8:48 am

    Commenting on do follow blogs, as you’ve said, is a tedious task. But hiring someone to do the job for you is not a very good option. So what would be the best thing to do? Are there other means to make this task less tedious?

  153. Kids Bedrooms on September 1st, 2009 2:17 am

    Great idea on setting up Google Alerts for dofollow blogs! I think I’m going to adapt that.

    I’ve considered hiring someone to do my linking. I’m a little concerned having someone else represent me out there.

    I’m going to continue doing it myself for now.

    Nice post…:)

  154. free games on September 1st, 2009 3:23 am

    I better spend my time to comment in do follow blog because I have enough time to do that
    I see this strategy very good for our blog traffic
    I use my skill to get revenue

  155. vintage t shirts on September 1st, 2009 12:46 pm

    Dofollow links are counted as a backlink which is a factor for increasing your site’s link popularity while a link with a nofollow attribute passes no link juice. Dofollow blog commenting is one of fastest emerging ways of building one way backlinks for any website. The concept is quite simple. You’ll first need to install a SEO plugin that finds and highlights dofollow and nofollow blog comments for your Internet Explorer or Firefox. Next, you basically go on a google hunt for relevant blog articles to see if the comments on the page have either the dofollow or nofollow attribute. If the comments are dofollow, then you’ll just read the article and make a comment on it. For the comments field that says “Name”, put your keyword/anchor text and then for the “URL” field put in your website. Finally, hit the “Submit Comment” button and wait for the blog owner to approve your comment and if your lucky it might be auto approval without blog owner moderations. Note: You can increase your comment approval rate by writing a very useful and relevant comment to each related article.

  156. Tony from Heating Contractor on September 2nd, 2009 7:47 pm

    i have been looking into something like this and i don’t know i think it would be hard to trust someone with a task like this.

  157. Jane from infant car seat covers on September 3rd, 2009 2:11 am

    I don’t know about you…but I wouldn’t spend my own time commenting on do-follow blogs or whatever for $1 a comment. Link building is tedious and absorbs too much of my time. In many niches, it’s becoming more difficult to find do-follow blogs that are on topic…or have any PR at all.

    I’m with you, though. I’ll keep building my own for now.

    Thanks, and great post.

  158. Andy from Engagement Rings on September 3rd, 2009 7:11 am

    I believe we should see a great number of bloggers switching to dofollow comments in near future. You give back something to readers who are contributing. People have monthly top commentator contests nowadays.

    By the way, thanks for this great post.

  159. Sandip on September 4th, 2009 3:41 pm

    Very nice post. These days SEO’s are simply making money by offering such services of providing backlinks. Like you i also agree to submit myself.

  160. bill from camping table on September 4th, 2009 5:11 pm

    Just wanted you to know that several of the blogs that have added themselves to your “do follow list of blogs, are in reality… no follow.

  161. AZ Bouncers on September 4th, 2009 11:25 pm

    Finding dofollow blogs is a tough task. I would not hire this out to a consultant to do. Too many times I have found that they cut corners when doing simple tasks like this and unless you are really specific with your terms they will try to cheat you!

    Very nice post!

  162. elcidi on September 6th, 2009 8:58 am

    I would personally do that myself.
    Commenting is not just about link building but I think it’s also about socializing..
    Enjoy the process :)

  163. Ben on September 7th, 2009 2:59 pm

    I actually know a few people who hire other services to help with commenting on do blogs. It’s a great way to earn some extra money.

  164. jim from Miami web design on September 19th, 2009 8:49 am

    its easy to get backlinks or inbound links from dofollow . But its really tough to get quality backlinks or inbound links.

  165. Mack from Las Vegas Homes on September 21st, 2009 9:19 am

    It is not the question of trust but questions pertaining to quality and content matters the most while hiring those off shore link builders. Moreover they cannot contribute quality comments to the posts especially when they are about real niche content. Say my blog deals with las vegas real estate and I cant expect a link builder to post gr8 comments relevant and contributing to the original post. So in such scenarios I prefer to do those link building activities on my own, just like you did :) This ensures I know what I am posting + I get to know what is happening in my niche market. The only hassle I find is, the entire process is lot of time consuming :(

    Regards,
    Mack

  166. freelance copywriter on September 22nd, 2009 2:48 pm

    I don’t see the point of hiring someone to do the commenting for you. Don’t you think it’s just a waste of resources?

  167. Michigan Auto Insurance on September 22nd, 2009 8:56 pm

    I think that hiring someone to do those things for you is a great idea!

  168. Mike from Rotator Script on September 22nd, 2009 11:54 pm

    I don’t know that I would trust anyone to do my blog commenting for me. If I were going to hire someone, I would have them report every blog and post they commented on, and I would check every of those comments out at first. Then, if they met my standards, I would continue to spot check comments periodically.

    The really frightening thing is, if the person you hire does comments for other customers, would blog owners start recognizing the commentor by email address or IP and flag their comments as spam?

    This could be disastrous.

    Mike

  169. Mark from Fly Rods For Sale on September 23rd, 2009 12:03 am

    I agree with Mike about the very real possibility that the comments you hire out could get flagged for spam. If that happened, do blog commenting would probably be a strategy that would no longer work for you.

    Mark

  170. Dubai Property Portal on September 24th, 2009 8:24 am

    Hi,
    the question is how would you know the person posting on blogs is a spammer or not?

  171. Derek on September 25th, 2009 11:47 am

    I recently employed an assistant to do all the stuff I hate – all the repetitive tasks that I simply cannot get motivated to do, even on a good day.
    But when I considered the issue of Blog commenting, I realised there simply is no short cut – it’s worth doing properly, so I do it myself.
    I also moderate all the comments on my own blogs manually since I never allow a comment to post immediately – now perhaps that I could give to my assistant,since it’s relatively easy to identify a spam comment.
    Good post though – made me think about the issue a little, often tend to ‘just do things’ or not because they’re convenient…
    Thanks!

  172. website design Miami on September 25th, 2009 12:40 pm

    I never thought of getting do follow blogs through google alerts. This is quite informative.

  173. Legitimate work at home jobs on September 25th, 2009 1:39 pm

    But if the people whom you hire for comment on do follow blog start spamming then?

  174. Betaclick SEO Company on September 26th, 2009 1:12 am

    Dofollow blogs are the most visited ones, but an issue is the spamming persons. You need more security and time to keep them away!

  175. Photography porn site reviews on September 28th, 2009 4:40 am

    There are advantages and disadvantages in hiring commenters. Don’t you agree? You have to weigh the pros and cons well before you decide.

  176. ElvenRuneLord from State Insurance North Carolina on September 28th, 2009 1:09 pm

    I’d be willing to do commenting for people on DoFollow blogs for $1 each. I’d require you to give me a list of blogs you wanted commented on and a list of keywords you wanted me to use as names, but I have experience in the paid posting field and was considered an excellent worker by the companies I worked for.

    If anyone is interested in hiring me your welcome to contact me on my blog listed above. I a natural born English Speaker and have good commenting skills and have been doing this for a long time, but anything is welcome that will supplement my income.

    I did enjoy the post as it got me to thinking about offering a service like this for customers.

    I’ll have to do some more thinking on it, some of the competition I would be facing is a lot cheaper than I would be willing to work for, but they are also offer a great deal less quality than I would as well.

    When you pay someone $1 a post you expect to get something in return and you see from the post here an example ( a rather long one but still ) of what I can offer.

    DoFollow linking is an easy and necessary part of building lasting back links which will send you tons of Goggle love over time.

    Hi,
    ya I agree that hiring a commentator isn’t a good idea but what if that person is good in commenting and persuading. You may look at bayut.com/community/ how people are discussing, taking part in activities and sharing knowledge which is the right way to do.

  178. Tom from Custom Picture Frames on September 29th, 2009 7:05 pm

    Great reason to keep coming back here… do follow bloggers should support each other when they can. Keep up the great work!

  179. Billy from affordable life insurance on October 4th, 2009 9:19 am

    Hi Mike,

    I know someone who can do $1 or less per comment on dofollow blogs and I’m sure that he can do your requirements. Take it from me, it’s very hard to find someone who is trustworthy and reliable but you know what, I found that person in odesk.com, you can search his user name (rodeliodelacruz) and he really provides quality comment in every blog, he is very trustworthy and reliable, in fact, I’m going to hire him in my next project. I used to comment in blogs during my free time but sometimes I would rather have go in vacation and hire someone to do the task for me. I highly recommend this guy, I’m sure he will never let you down.

  180. tj from New York Cable on October 4th, 2009 8:04 pm

    I think there are definitely pros and cons to hiring out for comments. It is a time-save; however, whenever another indivual is publicly representing your project or business, there are risks associated with lost control over messaging.

  181. Damon from Debt Settlement on October 5th, 2009 8:34 pm

    I don’t think anyone should hire out commenting or anyone should be offering commenting services for hire. It is because of people like that, that we are seeing more and more blogs going nofollow. I have benefited greatly from do follow blogs. However, I have come across some very useful websites in doing so, that I would have never known about had I hired someone else to make comments on the blog. I now frequently visit many of the do follow blogs on my list for the information that they provide.

    If you can’t take the time to visit a website, and read what the blogger is saying and add to the discussion, then you certainly don’t deserve a do follow link on his/her blog.

  182. Jerry from vintage wedding dress on October 6th, 2009 8:39 am

    Hi! I feel that it is a very nice idea to hire a person to comment on do-follow blogs. But the thing is, what if the person starts spamming on blogs? Or how could you trust a person who is not familiar to you? By the way, thank you very much for sharing such a nice article. It is really very interesting and informative post. Keep on posting in future. Best regards for ahead.

  183. James from cool free games on October 6th, 2009 9:43 am

    Hmm that commenting seems expensive, seems like one can earn 30$ for 30 comments… and ive just found out about google alerts on here!!

    Thanks a lot :)

  184. La Zagaleta on October 6th, 2009 10:11 am

    I think that outscourcing important content is generally a mistake. Very rarelt does it tap into the philosophy of your online presence. Better you do it yourself or employ someone who really understands what you are trying to achieve and can articulate it adequately online.

  185. Reno Chiropractor on October 7th, 2009 6:43 pm

    Great article, but I am new to the world of building back links and I would like to know how you can even tell if a link is a Do-Follow or No-Follow link. I know that if you right click on the link and select properties it will sometimes say NoFollow, but I haven’t seen any yet that say Dofollow even though I have been searching in google blogs for Do follow as instructed by a friend. Can anyone tell me how to find these do follow links. I would really appreciate the help.

  186. Sergei from Russian Translator on October 8th, 2009 7:33 am

    Yeah i found the way & also i am doing the same way as you are doing but i am seeing that some guys who are reading you dont kn ow how top identify the do follow blogs hence i am giving an idea download the No-do follow addon for the firefox from google!

  187. maca andina on October 8th, 2009 11:26 am

    i have been looking into something like this and i don’t know i think it would be hard to trust someone with a task like this.
    great post

  188. laser spider vein removal on October 12th, 2009 10:42 am

    Thanks for the article it is very useful for the people who are in SEO field. Well, a link is a link. It’s better than nothing.” Great information on do follow blog comments.

  189. Dr. Larry on October 13th, 2009 12:15 am

    Due to the busyness of my work, it’s hard for me to browsing through many blogs and placing comments. I also hate to pay thousands to those so called SEO companies. I decided to have some high-schoolers to do the tasks and so far they do the job quite well!

  190. kitchenaid parts on October 13th, 2009 4:15 am

    In my opinion, this is a great idea. This is because not all of us can spend much time to do link building. By pay someone to do blog commenting, this make our link building job ore easier.

  191. Abigaial Johnson on October 14th, 2009 2:03 pm

    wow.. that’s amount of money…
    I don’t hire someone to comment on do follow blogs, whereas if you have plenty of sites/blogs.

  192. Khai from Berita Harian on October 14th, 2009 2:11 pm

    @jose: I have the same question like you..I do think they affected our PR, because I experienced it myself.

  193. AJ from baby allergies on October 14th, 2009 8:05 pm

    Mike, it is interesting post.
    But I think it depends on where are you in blogging.
    If you are a 110% blogger (lol) I believe you would do all the backlink building and SEO stuff by your self.
    But some bloggers out there have their things to do that worth it than getting backlink.
    I could be wrong but I am one of them ;)
    Well, sometimes I do it by my self :D

  194. HostGator coupons on October 15th, 2009 4:49 am

    Thanks for the post Mike! Do-follow links are definitely an important tool when building up links for your site. But as we all know, money always makes things go by a little faster ;)

  195. sealy mattresses on October 15th, 2009 8:52 pm

    If it can save you a lot of time then it definitely makes sense to hire someone to do this for you. And it’s probably cheaper than having someone doing it in-house, if you have employees. But of course, there are risks to this strategy, as you mentioned yourself.

  196. David from Wedding Photographer Nottingham on October 16th, 2009 10:32 pm

    This may not work for you or the poster, if criteria are high and you are concerned. Its an issue for everyone who needs to compete and be seen on Google. Most of us don’t get paid for what we do on the web, we get paid for what we do in the real World, so the web work becomes a chore if you can’t find a way around making it entertaining.

  197. Geoff from San Diego Homes For Sale on October 17th, 2009 12:24 am

    Everything can be hired out. But there it sure is difficult to give authentic comments on blogs when you aren’t doing it for yourself. It think people can tell the difference. I don’t think it should be encouraged.

  198. louis vuitton on October 17th, 2009 2:52 am

    we get paid for what we do in the real World, so the web work becomes a chore if you can’t find a way around making it entertaining.

  199. Tips from internet home business on October 17th, 2009 7:00 pm

    If you have time better do it yourself or only pay someone who really competent in it and do good job.

  200. Social Bookmark on October 18th, 2009 5:47 am

    I can definitely see how it could make sense to hire out if you’re really busy, since it’s a pretty time consuming task. But you need to make sure that the people you hire are dependable or you’ll end up with a lot of comments that are irrelevant and get deleted.

  201. joel from empowered seo on October 19th, 2009 10:57 am

    I never outsource my work, especially blog commenting. After reading your article i understand how absurd it would be. I always wonder if there are no other ways to obtain links other than spamming.
    But very well written article.
    Keep the good work up.

  202. jacksan on October 20th, 2009 6:58 am

    Really awesome post.This is great insight on DoFollow blog comments. Thanks for sharing the thoughts. I hope that this will improve my SEO work. let me try this out.

  203. Juegos on October 20th, 2009 6:17 pm

    I agree with you, i post myself, don’t pay for any SEO promotion, blog commenting is time consuming but i feel better doing it myself. However is difficult to use the keyword you want, anchor text, is too easy considered spam by some bloggers. Wish you all the best.

  204. Web 2.0 on October 20th, 2009 6:47 pm

    Well I still wouldn’t pay someone for blog commenting because these people don’t care about it much as you would. I think we can enlarge the time of this process and do our selves. Thanks

  205. Madcap from credit restoration on October 20th, 2009 7:18 pm

    I try to pay as little as possible. I do most of my own seo and design. I can’t see paying for commenting, but if I was making the big bucks I would pay for more, including commenting. Wish you all the best.

  206. Seth Painkick on October 21st, 2009 6:43 am

    I think everything comes with a price. If You want to have a lot of comments on Your blog, You need to be aware of the fact that some of them will come from people that doesn’t even read what You write. And that is something not very unusual. The more people You attract, the more of them will come just to use You. That is the way the cookie crumbles.

  207. Houston Heights Real Estate on October 21st, 2009 10:37 pm

    Hiring someone to comment on your blogs is a good strategy. You can have more time dealing with the other aspects of your blogging business.

  208. Kaye from canadian online insurance quote on October 23rd, 2009 2:37 am

    HI, I am agreeing with this. Hiring a people to comment on blogs are really ideal. I am also now hired from a client to comment from the different blogs in across the net. And I am really striving hard to find this keywordluv enabled blogs. Thank you for sharing this article..

  209. Carpet Cleaning on October 23rd, 2009 3:23 am

    Hiring out the commenting sounds good, it is a very tedious task. I agree that not having control over exactly what someone is commenting while representing you could be problematic.

  210. texas eye care on October 27th, 2009 8:36 am

    This is a helpful topic with have nice info.I hace seen a lot of dofollow blog directories but after browsing them, most sites are nofollow… Are dofollow blog commenting really useful?

  211. Avoid foreclosure in Las Vegas on October 27th, 2009 8:47 am

    I guess what’s essential in this aspect is make sure that the person being hired should report to you about the comments he/she had posted everyday. It is a tedious job though but if you really are hesitant to hire someone, then do the comments all by yourself. In that way, you’ll be saving your money and at the same time you don’t have to worry about the person you hired making crappy remarks.

  212. Hosting Offers on October 31st, 2009 6:59 am

    I have also considered hiring out for this type of task, but i am undecided yet. Building my own quality list of quality dofollow blogs might be a better way to go.
    However if there are quality service providers of this type i would love to here about it.

    PROS

    . save time
    . get more things done

    CONS
    . getting blocked by Akismet
    . Brand Management Issues
    . Not Natural Way of linking
    . Relevancy?

  213. chandan from work at home on November 1st, 2009 1:24 pm

    I think I also have to required dofollow blog commentator as its hard to manage all think alone. I installed disqus comment form on my blog with top commentator. I also invite people to comment on my blog.

  214. cheapest web hosting on November 2nd, 2009 4:00 pm

    I think your better off doing the comments yourself.

  215. Equipment Leasing on November 5th, 2009 9:12 pm

    I would consider farming out the dofollow comments, but I would be concerned with the quality of the comments being posted. If the comment is being linked back to MY site, that comment is a reflection of me. If the comment has poor grammar and punctuation, I wouldn’t want that associated with my content.

  216. Mike on November 6th, 2009 8:46 am

    I’m kinda confused with dofollow blogs on how to change it to a dofollow blog. but great post. thanks

  217. Make Money Online on November 7th, 2009 5:53 pm

    The most important thing is to add value with the comment. No one likes spamming and it is not a good way to promote a business

  218. Failoan on November 9th, 2009 7:09 pm

    I am new to the SEO scene and as a matter of fact I am new to the whole website scene but every article I have read on the topic tells me that paying someone to link build for you is a waste.

    Unless your paying top $$ for a real SEO expert it is better to build quality links yourself. This way you can control it better and you get to learn along the way.

  219. free webspace on November 12th, 2009 7:23 am

    This is really a fantastic blog i ever seen. It focus on so many thing and gives a better idea to the people. I wish congratulation for posting such a beautiful blog. Keep bogging regularly. Thanks for the nice information.

  220. OweEng2 on November 12th, 2009 11:22 am

    If your on the process of finding someone to do blog commenting,my advice is to hire someone from the Philippines. I personally hired outsourcers there and I can say they are fantastic workers aside from already being great with English.

  221. saturn sioux falls on November 12th, 2009 5:43 pm

    It is definitely mind numbing tedious work.

  222. Mike from foreclosure cleanup on November 12th, 2009 11:34 pm

    I have thought about hiring out blog commenting since it is such a tedious job. But, like you I would be concerned that my out-sourcer could get lazy, make just a few bad comments that could be flagged as spam. That could really hurt your blog.

  223. Dentists El Paso on November 13th, 2009 7:45 am

    Blog commenting is really a tough job, specially if you’re not familiar with the blogs’ issue. chances are that blog owners won’t accept your comment. eventually, not gaining a backlink to your site. there are also do follow blogs that automatically publish your comments.

  224. iron garden fence on November 16th, 2009 11:28 pm

    Wow!! that is really a healthful info on this post with have a great succession.I have seen a lot of dofollow blog directories but after browsing them, most sites are nofollow… Are dofollow blog commenting really useful?

  225. Morgan from Personal trainer Gold Coast on November 17th, 2009 11:39 pm

    Hi, fist time here on this site. I think hiring people of dofollow commenting seems really strange. but if you are handling more that one blog or site then it will be beneficial for you.

  226. Freebies! on November 18th, 2009 10:41 pm

    I was thinking about offering this as a service on my forums maybe start of doing some free commenting to get some reviews etc.. I already do a free forum posting service which has been a success so far.

  227. Matt from Free PS3 Slim on November 20th, 2009 7:24 am

    I also prefer to post myself comments on blogs. If you’re doing something wrong when comment on blogs, and Akismet see you as a spammer, you can’t post your comments to any blog? Or just to that one?

  228. Alicia from harry potter toys on November 20th, 2009 5:22 pm

    I never thought about everything you have to think about when hiring someone else to do your blog comments. I haven’t hired anyone yet but I was planing to start hiring it out in January. Now I’m rethinking that and thinking about hiring other aspects of my business out.

  229. ilaçlama on November 23rd, 2009 7:08 am

    I strongly agree with you, as good as we know about other people that will represent our site, surely better if we do it yourself

  230. Roezer from Blogger Tips on November 25th, 2009 8:57 am

    I often seen that when I wrote about a Subject that there would be a Connent on it Straight away because Someone Had been using Alerts like Mentioned in The Article,I should be using Google Alerts a Little more now

  231. Rufus Titterness from Zhu Zhu Pets on November 25th, 2009 9:39 am

    I agree that outsourcing commenting is a good idea but do you really save any time for other things when you have to check the comments you hired someone to write?

  232. Las Vegas Short Sale Agent on November 26th, 2009 5:56 am

    Those who make sensible comments are those people who understand what they do. Even if they were being hired as long as they know the essence of their work and leaves comments that are relevant to the topic, it makes no difference. As long as they don’t make it a crap.

  233. web development on November 26th, 2009 10:27 pm

    Well i always believe it’s better to comment on blogs myself for a lot of reasons.It was nice to read your post.Look forward to more such posts.

  234. Valleri from Cleveland Insurance on November 28th, 2009 12:55 pm

    Hiring someone to do blog commenting is extremely risky. Most paid commenters don’t care and you may find your website blocked by Akismet or other spam filters.

  235. Pen Tablets on December 2nd, 2009 2:51 am

    I would not give my blog into hands of someone else, rather I would sell it to a person who would like to make this site his own. But giving my work to someone else, no. That is not for me.

  236. Las Vegas Short Sale Agent on December 2nd, 2009 3:53 am

    I don’t mind hiring out blog commentators as long as the person I hired don’t make fun of the job being given to him/her. It may be risky but somehow it would also help in gaining that traffic you have longed. After all, it is also a responsibility filtering the person being hired.

  237. Apartemen Murah on December 2nd, 2009 8:22 pm

    Great points. Backlinking is a very important thing. I disagree with you Thomas. for hiring someone to write a comments is not a bad idea. cause, not every people need a charge. it depends what the content of your article. if you write the great topic, you can hire someone to ask for opinion.

  238. Roy from Hostgator Coupon Codes on December 4th, 2009 9:23 am

    I personally wouldn’t hire out dofollow blog comments.

    I like to make sure that I’m not just spamming the site with my keywords and actually add to the discussion that’s going on.

    If I can’t offer an opinion or further the conversation then I won’t comment.

    If I outsourced, I couldn’t guarantee that my site wouldn’t be spamming other blogs. I don’t want that, so I don’t outsource it!

  239. Alok on December 6th, 2009 11:44 pm

    Thanks for this post. I prefer posting comments myself. There are certain benefits of doing this. Firstly I read the post and that way I gain knowledge and experience. If I find something interesting, I can add it to my favorite list.(I have added followlist.com to my favorites). Since I post the comments I m sure about myself and that gives me peace of mind.

  240. Short Sales in Las Vegas on December 7th, 2009 3:44 am

    Hiring someone to make comments is a personal choice. Although I must admit, making comments to a long list of blogs is really tedious. Still if you hire someone, you are held responsible and accountable for whatever actions he or she is going to make. At the end, it is your site that is being put at risk.

  241. Free Mp3 on December 7th, 2009 8:45 pm

    You can simply ask the person to send you the URL where the comments are posted.

  242. Vending Machine on December 8th, 2009 11:52 am

    Thanks to you for such an informative post! Your post on the “Do-Follow” strategy is really quite a good one to read.

  243. mark from Commercial Coffee Makers on December 8th, 2009 3:12 pm

    Have you checked out hiring commenters through Elance? I have done that myself as freelance work, but you want to make sure that whoever you hire knows what they are doing so that they don’t spam in your name.

  244. Darrin from Modern Street on December 9th, 2009 7:49 pm

    You are absolutely right. Commenting is a tedious task but getting someone to do it is a mistake because they NEVER care about how to do their comments right.

    Not only that, many of these outsourced comment “agents” never bother to spend time reading your posts, which is understandable because they don’t care at all about your blog or the person hiring them.

    All in all, outsourcing comments is bad.

  245. Custom t-shirts on December 10th, 2009 1:16 am

    hiring some one for blog commenting is good, but before hiring we have to make sure that the guy should do the correct and exact do follow commenting. and in $100, 100 comments are not bad.

  246. Dish Network on December 11th, 2009 7:54 pm

    It is quite difficult to find the desired do follow blogs, that’s why people are hiring SEO or comment professional to fulfill their needs. You can find a blog commenter at various Freelancing sites.

  247. Avoid foreclosure in Las Vegas on December 12th, 2009 4:21 pm

    For me, there’s nothing wrong in hiring someone to make comments. You just have to trust the person you hire. And as long as you’ve done your job in briefing the person hired, it would be easy. Aside from that, it is also a must for that person to submit daily report so as to monitor him or her closely on the task given.

  248. James from Money Professor on December 13th, 2009 12:33 pm

    Interesting idea and not something i had thought about before. Think my reasons know i am aware of it for not doing would be similar to what others have said in terms of i actually do enjoy reading good blog sites and as you have said i don’t think i would trust someone enough to do it.

  249. Isacc on December 13th, 2009 8:47 pm

    You have a lot of commenting requirements but in data entry everyone has their own price.. it never hurts to ask people. Good Luck!

  250. Anna on December 15th, 2009 11:30 pm

    It is very useful to me, and the do follow blog is so difficult to find, sometimes when I add the comments, but the comment is not live…

    I’m just starting out in SEO and have read that do follow blog comments really help with your rankings. My friend has 3 sites on the first page of Google from doing this. So I’ve learned how to leave comments on blogs, but all of them seem to be no follow. Is there a search engine for only do follow blogs?

    When you are going to comment on some blog you should be careful about what kind of matter you are posting. It should be related to post and for that read the whole post.

    Only problem with Google Alerts is that if you have loads of them, your inbox gets bombarbed with crap on a daily basis!

  264. sticker printing on January 11th, 2010 3:40 pm

    awesome post, dofollow blogs is key to maintaining links long term. Leaving bad comments is sure to result in not getting those incoming links

  265. forex signal on January 12th, 2010 4:09 pm

    It is all about common sense and good content anyway. I did try one of those “robots” to submit trackbacks. I do not recomend those things. It did mess up my backlinks and also did upset some blog administrators. I am a fan of good content and interraction on blogs.

  266. Healthy Eating For Kids on January 13th, 2010 10:58 am

    That does seem like a lot of work to outsource to somebody else but I think that it might be something I might look into in the future.

    It would definitely be on a trail basis with lots of oversight from me initially since that comment is the alot of times the first impression of your site a person sees.

    You can use Traffictravis to trace the work of the person you hire as all the backlink can be checked. But for me I still doing myself.

  269. Denzel from GenF20 on January 20th, 2010 9:31 am

    I’ve never outsourced any comments and I’ll never do that. You have no control over your comments, and the commentators don’t really care about doing a good job in most cases.

    I wouldn’t consider this an option.

    Last try.. cuz my comments just don’t seem to show.

    Funny. I just made the discission to outsource it. And while looking for somebody to hire I found this post.

    Now I started to doubt again.

    Maybe you and me should start such a service. Quality Comments Co. :-)

    Heck I’m gonna give it a try anyway. I’ll report back with my review :) .

    Getting a link from popular blogs is one of the best ways of link building. Whenever you post a comment on a blog, there will be a name field, and a website field. You can give the link of your website in the website field, and include link building keywords that you are targeting, along with your name. This will ensure a link towards your site from the blog, and the ‘anchor’ text will have your keyword as well.

    Thanks for sharing..

    Good information on dofollow blogs. I was never aware of such information about dofollow blogs and google allerts.

    Good idea with the Google alert. There’s also backlinkwatch.com that gives backlinks to a page marked with nofollow.

    I have found that hiring people just does not work, maybe I have been unlucky, but in the end I have resolved to the idea that i must do it myself

    Yes, yes I completely agree with the provided information. External links are must to have a good PR and one cannot even think of good PR without having quality back links.
