Intermediate Search Engine Optimization Tips from SEO Expert Gab Goldenberg
How can bloggers optimize their comments, guest posts and other activities outside of their blogs for SEO?
I wouldn't worry too much about optimizing comments unless you're trying to help that blogger rank for their given keywords. Otherwise, you can just include a keyword or two in a sentence of yours in the comment to give the link back to your site some better context. But comments really shoudn't be seen as something to "optimize" really.
I'd focus on making value-added comments that help build up a relationship with the blogger in question. Maki at Dosh Dosh had an excellent point recently about commenting for relationship building with the blog's author. Ironically, most of the comments were 'great post, I agree' type useless feedback that didn't add anything. For those people who did have something intelligent to say though, I'd like to share some linklove:
- Wendi Kelly - Wendi highlighted that after a certain number of comments, some people feel that they're just going to be ignored and prefer not to comment, or save something value-added for a later post. True, but ...
- Scribbles and Words - Jay mentioned that he reads every comment he gets, and that's probably true of most bloggers, even if they don't respond.
- Marketing Safari - Hjortur explained the basics of good commenting on Dosh Dosh
What is link-baiting?
I'll defer to the master-baiter himself, Rand Fishkin on this one.
- Leveraging Linkbait
- Rand's 13-step Guide to Linkbait Love
- Identifying the Linkerati
Darren Rowse has an excellent introduction to the topic as well: Introduction to Linkbaiting
Finally, another excellent linkbaiter we all know and love, Lyndon Antcliff, put together the ultimate linkbait reading list.
Should bloggers list their blogs on any of the myriad of blog directories available? Does this help or hurt SEO?
Once you have your niche's top keywords, use a rank checking service to see if they're in the top 100 for any of them. If so, have a look at the links they're providing to other people; if there's funny looking redirects, if the links are generated by javascript code like blogrolling.com blogrolls ... those are useless even if they're in the top 100. Otherwise, go ahead and submit. But don't waste your time trying to maximize the number of directory links you have; most of them will be useless or only barely marginally helpful after the first few give you links.
Spend your time more wisely building relationships with other bloggers in your niche with comments, links and trackbacks (so they know you linked!). That will get you plenty more links.

ReplyDeleteThis is a nice read! I’ve seen a lot of people use Facebook and Instagram to market their products. I thought Facebook has been the best place since most of us use the site, I realized that since most use Facebook to market, there’s a big competition flowing thus it’s harder to market. With all statistics, I thinksocial commerce platforms is as effective as Facebook but lesser noise since Instagram, it’s directly based on Photos thus more effective marketing and easier reach to the audience/ users. Thank you for the read! Hoping for more articles like this. It’s engaging.
