Many users take advantage of my top blog commentors on the left hand side of this blog, but have you ever noticed the common SEO Strategy for leaving comments?

Leaving comments is a great way to spread your link around for better SEO, but what is the best way to do it without getting your comment deleted?

1. Don’t leave URL links within the post – Most administrators will delete urls within comments or just delete the comment all together.
2. Writing your SEO phrase in the name part of the comment – Rather than writing your name as Nick, or John, or whatever, write in the keywords you are looking for.  A good comment name might be Free SEO Tricks or Best SEO Ideas… etc.
3. Making sure to leave an appropriate URL in the URL section.
4. Writing a comment that is relevant and NOT generic.  As soon as I see a generic response I hit the magical delete button.  Provide at least a little insight into the article or me as well as anyone else will hit the delete button.

Leaving comments can help you get more traffic to your blog, but make sure you follow at least these 4 steps or your comment SEO strategy might just not work.
