spam commenting
If you’ve been around you may of read about commenting on blogs to get new readers and back links.
In-coming-back-links are very important to get higher rankings in Google.
Some think, if they post comments on every blog they can find, they’ll get the back-links needed to rank well in Google thus getting lots of free traffic.
The following image is a spam comment on this blog.
When you see these, just hit the spam button and be done with it.
Doing this type of tactic can be tempting to get more traffic and rankings but it does not work.
I’ve researched this by visiting some sneaky black hat sites that talk about comment spamming. One of the guys was bragging about the 1,000’s of back links he was able to get using automating software. But he made a big mistake by sharing his URL. When you click on his website address, you’ll see he is not indexed in Google. All that work to get de-indexed? No thank you.
I’ve also seen people with less back links out rank others in the search engines that have three times more back links. It’s all in the quality of back links you get coming into your site.
If you want to use blog commenting to get back links to your site/blog, there are three things to keep in mind.
1. Most blogs have no follow tags built into their commenting function.
This means, the search engines will not count your URL as a back link.
2. Where you post your name is the place to add your keyword phrase not your name because that gets linked to your URL.
Downside to this, when people see your name, it’s obvious you’re trying to game the system and the blog author may not approve your comment as a result. Let’s face it, have you ever met anyone with the name, Dog Care?
3. Only post comments on blogs related to your topic.
You can find blogs on the same topic as yours by searching Google’s Blog search.
There is also software around that let’s you find and manage all this stuff but I don’t like recommending software. It just fills up your computer with software that does what you can easily do online.

Are you saying to delete these messages instead of spamming them? I’m pretty new to blogging. A second question is how to install blogrush our my Wordpress blog?
