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.

The Niche: Tomato Growing
I know this is always used but it is a great example of how you can make money in literally any niche…

Research:
Now lets take a quick look at Tomato Growing in Google

15 Million websites to compete with?!?!?!?! I think not, lets take a look at Google’s Wonder Wheel and see if we can find something more manageable.

Using the Wonder Wheel:
While you are still in Google looking at those 15 million results look on the left hand side and click the “More Search Tools” drop down and click on the Wonder Wheel

Now the Google Wonder Wheel is going to show you similar popular searches to your main keyword “tomato growing”.

Below you can see what the Wonder Wheel has generated, and immediately one of them stands out to me… “tomato cage”

So lets take a look back at Google and see what the competition is like for “tomato cage”

WOW, only 386,000 results compared to the 15,000,000 for “tomato growing”.  Goes to show that 5 minutes of research can help you find your next big niche.

My Challenge to You: The next website flipping journey you go on is dedicated to the gold mines you find using the Wonder Wheel.

Let me know your thoughts and some things you find using the WW.

Search Engine Problems: If the website is banned by at least one search engine, it’s likely to get in the bad favor of others too.  No matter how good it looks, flipping the site will be an uphill battle – one you’re not likely to win.

Zero Promotion: New sites deserve bargain basement prices.  Even though the owner put in a ton of work on the technical aspects, it’s still a shaky buy, at best.  Unless the domain name is a keyword-goldmine, it’s usually better to pass.

Heavy Competition: If the site being sold is a small fish in a large pond filled with plenty of established players, there’s far too much work needed to bring it up to speed.  Unless you can successfully turn the site’s fate around, future buyers will be wary.

Short-Life Span: Sites about particular products or niches that are bound to be gone in a year or two (e.g. a particular movie or a game) are a losing gamble.  After the buzz passes, anyone who gets it will be left with residual traffic that may not even be good enough to pay for its own rent.

Easy To Duplicate: When you check the bargain basement sections of site flipping, you’ll notice the exact same types of properties for sale – wallpaper sites, proxy sites, arcade games, PLR blogs, etc.  With the right content and tools, those sites can be turned out in mass.  There’s no point buying them – just make ten of the same thing yourself.

Make sure to think twice about any website you do buy, many times if it seems to good to be true it usually is.  Make a checklist and go through it every time you are in the market for a new site.

The Basics

If you’re putting up a blog for a quick flip, it’s almost requisite to have the following things on board:

* a descriptive logo
* a custom template
* several starter articles

Value-Added

While the above additions may seem like a good amount of work to put in already, they’re usually not enough to make your flip extremely profitable.  If you do what everybody else does, after all, you’ll just end up making the same profits as they do (which is not much).

Getting creative and pitching in additional value can really raise a blog’s worth.  Instead of taking the road well-traveled, how about getting creative and adding something in that can really draw attention.  Try one of these two things, for instance:

An informational product for sale.  Since commissioning an original ebook or similar product might actually prove too expensive for a quick flip, try to find a product that comes with resale rights.  Design a custom sales page, add it to the site and launch it.  If you can get even one sale before flipping a blog, you can use that as proof-of-concept to sell the site for even more.

A mailing list.  Contrary to what many beginners think, building a small mailing list from your blog isn’t too difficult a task.  For instance, you can buy some PLR content, split it into several parts and offer it as an email course to your visitors.  Similarly, you can package it as a free report that they can receive via email.  If you can get even 10 readers to sign up before putting the blog on sale, the potential of generating a large mailing list out of it can make more than a few potential buyers look your way.

If you put in some thought behind it, you can come up with different ideas that should give your flip an added allure, setting it apart from the deluge of new blogs available for the taking.

While you may not be able to afford full-time employees, finding reliable (and affordable) freelancers that you can tap when needed will be one of your most important undertakings.  Having them attend to the nitty-gritty of the site itself, you can put your energies where it’s needed most – finding new sites and selling them.

1. Designer: Having a designer on board allows you plenty of flexibility with your sites’ appearance.  If the suite uses a bad template, you can commission the designer to build you a more intuitive one.  From a new logo to better icons to more appealing color schemes, having a reliable designer (who’s familiar with your tastes) on tap can do wonders.

2. Programmer: Even when you’re using a commercial CMS, you’ll always need custom tweaks performed on your site occasionally. Unless coding is your specialty, even a small change can eat up hours upon hours of your time.  Always keep a programmer on your roster of contacts – you’ll need them for sure.

3. Copywriter: Content is king – that’s what they all say, isn’t it.  That’s because it’s true.  The value of a site with good, timeless content can never be discounted.  As such, having a good copywriter on board can bring a lot of value to your flipping ventures that you otherwise wouldn’t get.

So get to it and start building your website flipping team!

Here’s the rub: if you skimp too much on your new site, it will show.  A stock free template, makeshift logos and PLR content just won’t cut it anymore – you’ll be lucky to sell those properties at cost.  The trick, then, is to give your site as professional treatment as you can, while keeping a tight lid on your spending.

Let’s look at the things you’ll likely need to spend cash on when building new sites:

Logo.  For the purposes of a quick flip, your logos must cost well below industry standard in order to keep you profitable.  Your best chance is to hire an offshore designer or local kid who can give you bulk, original graphics for $10 a piece.  You’ll actually find many takers for this – as long as your order is in bulk.

Scripts/Widgets.  The more experience you get, the more familiar you will be with useful functions and features that add tremendous value to new sites for flipping.  While you can buy scripts at nominal licensing costs, it will pay off more in the long run if you commission custom-scripts that you can use over and over across all sites you create.  Pay once (even if it’s a little expensive), use many times over – can’t beat that.

Templates. Instead of buying a premium template for every site you create, it’s better to just acquire a couple of flexible designs and have a low-rate designer tweak it for every site you make.  There are many designs out there where simple changes, such as a new logo, new icons and different color schemes, can make a huge difference, almost making it look unique.  After the initial investment on a flexible template, you can just hire someone to put in an hour’s amount of work to change the CSS and such for cheap.

Content.  When you’re building a new site, content can make a huge difference.  Personally, I like to use a bunch of second-rate rewritten PLRs (that you can get for ultra-cheap), propped up by 2 or 3 well-written and original content (that you actually pay decent money for).  If you design your navigation right, you will be driving attention to the good content and making the site look packed by inclusion of the second-rate stuff.

You can get everything needed for a quick flip with Justin Brooke’s new Website Flipping Starter Kit; 25 blog themes, 4 pre-made sites, 5 PLR products, 500 free graphics, traffic software, & video training.  So get to it.
