I’m currently looking for some query or keyword to count how many comments I’ve made so far since I started blogging. If you happen to know exactly how it works, please let me know on the comment section. I feel that I’m lagging behind some bloggers who started almost the same time with me or later than me me such as Raymond and Mr.Rajawang . They are more successful than me in terms of pagerank, alexa, and RSS reader. Comparing to bloggers such as John Cow who started that blog last July, I’m lagging behind him even further. But he has Bob Meet World which he put on sale before setting up John Cow.

But why Zaki Blogjer?
Previously, I keep on changing my name and URL accordingly based on my websites/blogs name so that all of them can get the ‘exposure’ and outbound link from the comments that I make. This technique looks ok to me initially, you will sometime get a few traffics back from the websites that you’ve commented.

But 1 day I think it would be difficult for me to have a better relationship with the blog owner when I keep on changing my name and URL from time to time. And then I started commenting using the same name but with different URLs. This is better. But, it’ll be misleading to someone who knows you by your commenting name, that is when they click on my name it’ll bring them to the other websites which I own(which pointed to URL), so I conclude that this is not good as well.

Finally I end up using ‘Zaki Blogjer’ which I think sounds more friendly and closer to me. It can also differentiate me from fellow bloggers such as Zaki of zakiyamani, or Fahmi (also part of my name) to avoid confusion with FahmiShah of tebaboom.org . Just kidding bro.

Search condition

Ok, back on how to count your comments , I’m not sure if it is possible to count based on the conditions below.

1. I use ‘zaki blogjer’ when I leave comment
2. The URL is ‘www.blogjer.com’
3. Exists on URL only, where ‘zaki blogjer’ is the anchor text

Keyword and syntax I use

In pursuit for this search, it leads me to googleguide.com which provides a bunch of useful resources to do search in Google better, and to understand how it works. This should be useful too, especially if you’re doing keyword research or to get a better search result from your search. Ok, this is the Google Cheat Sheet for your quick reference of what I’ll be talking below. I’m not good too in doing search, so I used ‘try and fail’ method in my research

• “zaki blogjer” - Returned 4010 results. But there are actually only 14 pages of records which totaled 136 results. Not all results showed my comment, some of them brought me to splog or warez websites
• allinurl: zaki blogjer- No result returned. Probably no one has mentioned anything about me before
• inurl: zaki blogjer - No result returned
• allinanchor: zaki blogjer - No result returned
• nanchor: zaki blogjer - No result returned
• inlink: zaki blogjer - returned 1 result

Summary

Nothing came close to what I’m looking for, except “zaki blogjer”. inlink: zaki blogjer looks the right syntax and keyword, but unfortunately it only returns 1 result. Gotta study this further. Btw, do you have any better ideas?
