Leave A Reply Powered By WordPress

I was surprised by the number of folk searching for this search term:

“leave a Reply Powered By WordPress”

As a dofollow blog, I’m pretty choosy about moderating comments. Now, you need to have answered a massive 10 intelligent comments before you get a search engine friendly link back to your site – and I close old posts within a few days so I can get on with my work.

That probably makes the links you get from this site pretty decent though.

Most “Leave a Reply Powered By WordPress” visitors though, don’t have the patience to hang around that long, and it seems to have worked for us in building our subscribers steadily.

I wonder of most comment spammers know that rel=”nofollow” links mean that most comment links they drop are pretty useless for Google seo.

Even dofollow blogs that allow comments usually increase the comment number they need for a seo-friendly link, or remove dofollow altogether from their now busy blog – it can be a merry-go-around :)

Blog commenting for seo is not a long term strategy in my book, or really the sort of thing you should be doing for a corporate site.

Think about that while you are typing in anything like, leave a reply powered by wordpress, into Google next time.

Though – I would probably modify the search a little:

  • “Leave A Reply” “Powered By WordPress” +dofollow -”comments are closed”

….or something or other…..

If you enjoyed this post, please share :)
