Commenting @ Blog Bloke = Greater Page Rank
How’s That Might You Ask?
A reader recently reminded me why it is to your advantage to leave comments on this blog. You actually have three ways you can improve your blog pagerank:
1. First of all, when you leave a comment you have a chance to get a link in the top ten performer’s list. You will find it in the right-hand menu under the “Blokester Roll” menu. So the more comments you leave, the better your chances are for being listed.
2. Secondly, when you leave a link with your comment it will be followed by the search engines because I have removed the “nofollow” attribute imposed by Wordpress.
3.Thirdly, I use the plugin called CommentLuv which adds a link in your comment pointing to your most recent blog post. Now that is sweet!
You win big three ways!
Some might call it bribery but I prefer to think of it as a reward to you, my loyal readers. So comment away and watch your blog pagerank go ballistic!
I should also mention that if you link to Blog Bloke I will add you to my Blokester Network and feature you in a post (with another link of course).
WHOA!
How’s that for putting my link love where my mouth is?

Woohoo! LOL
I offer 2 outa 3 so far, not bad. I am thinking of the KeywordLuv plugin as well…so many like to spam the name field anyway, why not just make it “legal”.

I don’t think Blogger (my blog platform) has Comment Luv, but hey, I LOVE leaving you comments for ALL the great benefits.
Did your gmail get fixed?

The Blog Bloke sends high quality traffic indeed, even to a blog NOT related about blogging.
Here’s what I dug up from my Google Analytics account. The Bloke visitors view 4.33 pages/visit! Holy smokes. That’s even better than Google Search traffic. Bloke visitors spend a whopping 6 minutes on my site and has a bounce rate of only 30%. That’s WAY above my sites average and better than any referral I ever received.
I would like to thank Blog Bloke and all those who visited my site.

I never think too much about what commenting does for my site. I am just a talkative person by nature, so I tend to leave my comments all over the blogsphere when I find something of interest. But it is good to know this information.

I am just getting started with my blog, and I’m amazed at just how much I don’t know about blogging!
Thanks for all the great info you have made available. I will visit often for little bytes of blogfood, but I will have to eat slowly so I won’t get a brain cramp!

Yes Vicki, I echo Mush’s sentiments and welcome to Blog Bloke dot com. Sorry for not replying sooner but I’ve been nursing a wicked migraine the past few of days.
OUCH!
Thanks for the comment and I look forward to hearing more from you.

I also think it’s important for blog owners to respond to their reader’s comments. There’s nothing like leaving a comment and feeling as if it’s going into a black hole. If your posts get lots of comments I can see how a blog owner might not get around to answering each one, but if he/she doesn’t take the time to answer ANY comments it creates a void between the blog owner and the readers. It makes the blog more impersonal in my opinion.
Fortunately, you’re not in that category!
New visitor here - can’t remember how I got to your site but I’m glad I did!

Amen to that Chanya.
It’s like not answering your door when the neighborhood welcoming committee gives you a ring. How rude.
Welcome to Blog Bloke dot com!
Blog Bloke reply on July 12th, 2008 1:23 pm:
i agree with this post… commenting helps a lot to get better page rank… but comments should not be vague or irrelevant… these comments may kill your blogs brand image also.. so make genuine comments always

And of course there are benefits for you (the blogger). By welcoming comments on your blog you are encouraging a sense of comunity where regular visitors can have a chance to interact with you and each other and of course you also get free content on your blog to draw even more search engine visitors.
I just found your blog while trying to figure out how to add a blogspot blog to the subdomain of my mom’s business website. I can’t believe I’ve lived my whole life without knowing about you! I’ve poked around a bit and decided I need more blogbloke in my life - subscribing immediately!!! Thanks for all your hard work
