This is a very great information and guidelines in creating a blog comments. Most blog comments today will be examined first by an author and if fount not related to the post will be disapproved. So this post really helps a lot on how to be approved by the site owner.

Hey Michael,
I would not focus so much on what is nofollow or dofollow as long as the place is related to your niche. The reason being is it will draw related visitors to your blog that will possibly link to you as most other bloggers are commenting. Also it draws people to visit your website possibly and possibly subscribe if you run a subscription and also increases your traffic which is valued in seo as well.. Overall comments and commenting are a good part of creating a good traffic blog.. On another note there are many theory’s to believe nofollow is still counted in some way, just not as much as dofollow..

Thanks for the response Timon.

Just one last thing.

Is there any value then in leaving backlinks on blogs if most of them are nofollow?

Hey Michael,
Thanks for the comment.. With that one it is a bit too long and most bloggers will not approve it or they may modify it.. What i was trying to say in this post is from a blog writers perspective they want names in comments like a discussion not keywords. So if you want to risk adding keywords, without adding your name it may not be excepted or even worse it may be filtered out by askimet or a spam plugin.

Also, most comments are nofollow so keywords are of less value, however the traffic from commenting is still good.

I don’t understand.

Surely if you add your name to the keyword, surely would it not be detrimental to the anchor text back link?

I can totally understand that if you only use the keyword as “your name”, it does come across as spammy.

However, that being said if one were to use the following anchor text in the “name” field:

“Joe Bloggs from How to lose 5 pounds in 2 days”

Would it not be detrimental to the keyword your anchoring/backlinking, in this case, “How to lose 5 pounds in 2 days”?

Hi Timon,
I blogged about this recently – http://www.lxmarketing.com/should-you-put-your-keywords-in-the-name-field-when-you-comment/
There’s a great plugin called KeywordLuv which lets you add keywords after your name.
