There are plenty of spammers and short cut artist in the net taking a good tool and using it for less than honorable purposes. So why not take a Trolls tool and use it for a good purpose.
Marc Rasmussen made a good point about wanting to put his efforts into commenting where it will do the most good for both the blogger and the commenter.
“I’m one of those guys….kinda. I found your blog through a dofollow search in the new Google beta search. I didn’t really know this existed but a friend of mine showed me.
So now I am writing a comment for a little link juice but I did read your post as well as a few others. Great blog.”
If you are going to read and comment why not do it where there is juice coming to you for providing content to the discussion.
Now before we go too far down this road you should realize that even with a do follow on a blog it doesn’t mean there will be any juice.
- First, the post if new has no juice to give.
- Second, if this post is not indexed there is no juice to give.
- Third, even if it is indexed if it has no PR there is no juice to give.
Therefore, even if you do find a blog with do follow it doesn’t mean you will be getting any juice. At best it is like having an orange (the blog) and you might get a single drop of juice (your comment on an indexed post) at some point in the future. If the post falls out of the index the single drop of juice dries up with it.
Now, once you realize how much work can go into searching for do follow blogs and posts to read and comment on knowing there might be a little juice coming to you in the future but not knowing for how long. Is this really the best place to be putting your SEO efforts?
If you still think it is then why not go ahead and use a tool like Comment Kahuna. I won’t recommend it because:
- This is software they give “free” that I have to install on my computer. What are they trolling from me that I’m providing them for free?
- Anyone that thinks it is white hat to use a tool to leave comments just for backlinks are not people I want to provide access to my computer system.
I”m not familiar with the Google Beta Search Marc mentions in his comment. It might be something to check out for me, I would rather spend my efforts in writing more quality content which will bring readers an in turn indexing which puts a lot more juice in my Orange than a single potential drop of juice coming from a comment on a blog I have no control over. Hum, just a thought!
