Practical guide for commenting : How to ensure your blog receives a max impact from your comments
This is the last part of the practical guide of commenting. Read blogjer’s step by step guide to find the right blog to post comments and also on commenting tips.
- Look for dofollow tag (such as at the blogjer.com’s left sidebar). Another way to check is from the page itself
- for IE click on view -> source
- for Firefox – click on view -> page source or ctrl+U . Look for the URL of those who has left a comment before. See if it has rel=”nofollow”. If it does, that means your comment won’t be considered as a ‘vote’ for you in search engine.

- Go for local blog sphere before going for outside of Malaysia blogs. I had put this on commenting tips as well. This depends on who is your blog’s audience too. The weight should be around local:foreign 70:30. But again, this depends on you, and how good your English is. Again this is not necessarily correct in all situation. If you are writing blogs in your native language, you definitely want to go for local scene first, right?
- Be more organized, systematic and consistent - spend maybe 1 hour a day or 10 comments a day to leave comments. By doing this, you’re more flexible to write your own post or doing other stuffs. As long as you’re consistent, you can grow your network of friends without abandoning your work or other projects.
- Comment on blog that you love to read. Love will attract love!!
ps: I know it is hard to follow these tips, even myself had missed my own tips due to various reasons or excuses. But at least these tips serve as a reminder to me and you. I always welcome any suggestions to make this post a better one. Leave your comment, I’ll appreciate that.
My comment on foreign blogs outweight the comments on the local blog.
One of the reasons is because I target international market.
Perhaps that’s one of the exception that you stated above.
You’re right, LOA has less exposure to local market, but it steadily growing right, with blogger like you, soon we’ll catch up with westerner

I love DoFollow site.
