Bloggers - do you need more comments on your blog items?

I do! I was wondering whether we could agree a fair exchange - I add a relevant, helpful commnt to your blog picking up on its key words, you then do the same for mine. The new bits will "refresh" both our blogs (so Google will like us more) and needn't take more than 5 minutes per item.

A journalist who's been blogging in my area of work - career guidance, job search support, outplacement and workplace problem-solving - for a year warned me there'd be few "natural" visitor comments on my blogs (Claire said they visit, take what information they need to sort out their own pressing career / job problems and then shoot off again). She's been right.

If you like the idea of co-commenting, then plse get in touch and I'll put together something suitable for your blog. Please reciprocate on mine (I'll soon be up to the 10 posts mark and will then be able to legitimately mention my blog and site urls.

By the way, you won't see any comment appearing on the site until after I've okayed it - this is an anti-spam precaution.

I have been thinking this week about something similar as a few here have blogs, I have a few for various reasons - so might be a topic members here could explorer.

Hi Tomsk

If you give me the url of the business blog you'd like me to post a comment on, we'll give this a try.

Hi Linda

I know that it works as I am currently tracking a site for a client where they have got them to a 1st page on google by simply adding anchor text on to random blogs.

What I was going to suggest is a small group band together to post on each others blogs.

Hi Tomsk

What's "anchor text" plse and how do you add it to blogs?

Hope lots of ppl will want to join the co-commenting group - is there any way of extending the invite across to all mlf contributors plse?

Tell me plse which of your blogs you'd like me to comment on; and then return the favour.

Now I'm up to the magic 10+ posts, I can add my site details - see below. Not sure how to do the link though - is this something the moderator does, plse?

Amongst a number of things google likes anchor text and normal looks like this:

<a href="http://www.mylocalforums.com">Business Forum</a>

So the reader would see something like this:

Welcome to our great new business forum, for spam free talk etc

The green highlighted area would be the keywords you are looking to promote on your website and in blogging terms what people would add in a comment.

Having a small group of collaborators adding relevant comments to each others' blogs is so obviously sensible and so undemanding I can't see any problem in going ahead. Can I ask plse that anyone willing to join in with this email me (lw@careers-partnership-uk.com)? Also plse feel free to pass the idea - and my email address - to non mlf members if you think they'd be interested.
Usual rules apply - only (respectable and ethical) business / social blogs to be included in the scheme.

Hoping to get a flood of emails now!

I've just seen a good example of this and thought of doing it myself. I was checking out the competition for holistic healers and came across a couple who are both therapist and have a website each but they also have about 10 blogs each.
They have links to each others sites from all their blogs and they also have comments on each others blogs.
I checked out one of the sites and he has over 700 backlinks mainly from blogs.

There are many instances where what you hear happens and what actually happens with search results in google are at odds.

However a good strong link will always trump a load of crap links
