I’ve been working on building the backlinks to this blog by posting relevant comments on other blogs but… it’s hard work!

Commenting isn’t the hard part – finding relevant blogs is. I’ve spent time reading blogs I’ve found on MyBlogLog and Fame Me but unfortunately most of them aren’t what I’m looking for – either the content isn’t appropriate, the quality poor or the page rank and visitors so low that a link wouldn’t help much.

How much time I’ve wasted is anyone’s guess! But a few days ago I found the solution and it’s FREE (at least the basic version is).

Comment Hut does all the hard work for you, leaving you the relatively simple task of writing your comment. If you are building backlinks to your blog you really need to take a look at this. You simply enter the word or words that are relevant to your blog (say dogs for example) and Comment Hut will go out and find the blogs with relevant content BUT only tells you about those that allow comments. No point in looking at those that don’t help your backlinking strategy!

When you have the list you can then check the page rank and with a single click you visit the site and leave your comment with your URL – instant success.

The basic free version searches WordPress blogs but if you want more scope to include other platforms such as Typepad, Drupal, Squidoo,  etc then you may want to take a look at the paid for version. I’m not sure if there is any real advantage to looking at all of the platforms apart from the obvious increase in blogs available on which to post. Someone will no doubt tell me if links from a variety of platforms are better than just one for Search Engine Optimisation. It is really simple to download and use – the Comment Hut site has a video that explains everything but it really is so straightforward it’s not difficult to install the software or use the features.

If you do get this program please come back and let me know your results. Good luck. Wizzer
