Blog Comment Demon Review

What is Blog Comment Demon

Blog Comment Demon is a software that finds blogs and blog posts for a keyword of your choice. Not only that, but it will provide the information needed to choose out of the hundreds of blogs to spend your time on.

Why is Blog Comment Demon Useful?

If you know anything about SEO then you know how important inbound links are. Blog comment demon allows you to find potential, highly relevant, blogs to post on so you can gain a link back to your website.

Using Blog Comment Demon

After purchasing and downloading the software you are going to want to try things out right?

1. Open the software and find the Search Function.  Enter your Search Term, they type of blog you are looking for, and the time of post(last 24hrs, week, month, year, anytime).  Then Click Start

2.  Wait a minute or two and you will see the results… these are blogs that you can post comments on to get backlinks to your site.

3. Review your results.

What I like to look for when I’m looking over the results is the following…

  • Tag: This tag shows whether the blog comment links on the blog are NoFollow, DoFollow, or Unknown.  DoFollow are what you are looking for, this means that the link will pass “link weight” to your website.
  • Number of Comments: This tells you the number of current comments on the blog post.  If there are already comments posted then there is a better chance of your comment being accepted.  If there are no comments then the admin of the blog may not accept comments and it might be a waste of time writing a comment.
  • Domain and Page PR: PR stands for Page Rank.  Google ranks sites 0-10.  The higher the better.  Look for the higher PR post, but don’t underestimate the low PR sites.

Posting Comments

Once you’ve found the first blog you want to comment on you are going to double click it in the Blog Comment Interface.  This will open up a 2nd screen at the bottom with the blog post there for you to read.

**note: now since I’m absolutely against spamming blogs, I highly suggest you read the blog post and leave a real comment regarding whatever the post is about.**

Now you are going to want to leave a comment.

Name: This is what is going to be linking to your website, so they best practice would be to use your keyword. As you can see I’m using “Website Flipping”
Email: Enter any email address
URL: This is where the link is going to point to, so enter your website.
Comment: Enter a comment about the post you just read.

Click “Submit” and you are done. Some comments are accepted automatically and some are under moderation until the admin accepts them.

Conclusion

I’ve been using Blog Comment Demon for about 6 months now.  Out of all the types of link building I have done blog commenting seems to be the most effective, fastest, and cheapest strategy.

Post a comment below if you have any questions or if you have your own blog comment demon review.

Using Upcoming Events to Flip a Website

I’m sitting here watching the USA vs. Uganda Soccer Match and started to think about all of the events that go on every year and how you can take advantage of them for flipping websites.

The Idea

Build websites based on upcoming events.  For this example I will be choosing the current word cup soccer games.

The Research

The first thing that came to mind for me is creating a website for fans that are interested in their favorite teams jersey.  But if I were to do this I would have a limited amount of time to get ranked high enough to get any traffic so I’m going to pick a sub-niche of my niche.  I’m going to go for USA jerseys.

The questions is how many people are searching for USA jerseys?  Lets check out the Google Keyword Tool.  The first keyword that came to mind for me is “2010 USA soccer jersey” – It’s a bit of a long tail keyword yet I think it will have a lot of search volume and it will be fairly easy to rank for.  Lets see…

Search Volume

Not too shabby, 6,600 people a month are searching for “2010 usa soccer jersey”.  Next step is sizing up the competition to see how difficult it is going to be to rank for this keyword.

The Competition

Great, there is only 221,000 for our current keyword, anything under 500,000 is fairly easy to rank for.

Buying A Domain

Now we need to buy the domain that we are going to build out our website with.  Ultimately I would like to have my exact keywords in my domains.  Head over to GoDaddy and check to see if “2010USASoccerJersey.com” is available.

It’s available!  Awesome!  Now the game just ended and the USA lost :( so I’m not going to purchase this domain. But feel free to grab it or something similar.

The Conclusion

Now imagine if I started this website 2 months ago because I knew the world cup was starting.  Also imagine if the USA went all the way… think of the search volume that would be generated from this 1 event.  If you start websites months before the actual event happens and prove search volume and revenue you could make a nice site flip that could bring in a big payday.

There are literally millions of ideas to take advantage of, brainstorm and get to work…

  • Upcoming Sporting Events
  • Upcoming Movie Releases
  • Upcoming Car Releases
  • Upcoming CD’s
  • The list goes on…

Good luck and keep your eyes open for potential upcoming events that would make a good flip!
