I have been doing tons of blog commenting. Not “nice blog post” type of comments either. I am talking about real blog comments. When I say ton I mean almost 100 comments daily. Some days I don’t do blog commenting and my rss feed reader starts to fill up with a lot of blog posts. When this happens I take one day to comment on almost all the blog posts. So I can easily do over 300 comments in a day.
Lately I have notice that I am on a lot of top commentators lists. Which gave me a lot of backlinks. (7,000+ backlinks) I am sure those backlinks will go away as soon as I stop commenting but blog commenting as become an addiction that is pretty good to have since it gets me tons of backlinks and traffic to my blog.
I comment so much to the point where I started thinking to myself. I wonder if anybody get sick of seeing me everywhere. I know you have those main 5 – 25 blogs you comment on daily and those 5 – 25 bloggers comment on your blog. I like to invade those circuits, I come in and slowly get all those blogs into my rss feed reader.
How I Start My Comment Attack
First I start with 5 big name blogs. I comment on their latest blog post. Then I comment on all the blogs from the bloggers that comment on that post. Then comment on all the blogs from the bloggers that comment on that post. Of course I add all these blogs to my rss feed reader as I comment on them. This way I just added around 20 – 30 new blogs and about 2 – 4 new circuits to my rss feed reader.
This is why my blog grows on a daily basics, have more subscribers, and more comments. I try to do my comment attack every 2 weeks – 4 weeks. I don’t want my rss feed reader to grow to fast but I just may go to about 10 big name blogs and do my comment attack to grow my rss feed reader a lot faster if I feel that I am falling behind in blog commenting.
So are you sick of seeing me everywhere you comment?

Never sick of you Deneil
I have the same approach as you do about commenting, but on a much more smaller scale, ok very small, lol. I don’t have loads of time, but I try my best to comment.
Thanks for sharing this info, I will try a bit harder now to get my numbers up.
Ohhh, so that’s why you left a comment on my website earlier today
I was wondering how you found it, because I found your site yesterday, but I forgot how.
Do you also comment on the no-follow blogs where the backlink doesn’t provide anything, SEO wise?
(I use dofollow links on mine for now, but decide individually on each comment)
Wow – 7000 backlinks!!! Looks like your plan of attack is working. I will definitely have to try this. Thanks for the info!
300 blog comments per day is very impressive. I also use to comment on blogs, but I leave like 10, maybe 20 comments per day.
Yeah, its pretty hard to keep up with the amount of comments I do. I think I am addicted to commenting on blogs though. It may or may not be a good thing. If I like an article but can’t come up with a comment. I just stumble and tweet it.
haha perhaps we are
Deneil your inspiring for many bloggers! I see you out and commenting and it encourages me to go out and comment!
I’m still doing good regaridng an articel a day. I blog in advance still and right now I’m blogging for Friday! I even decided to blog on weekedns! So right now I’m blogging 7 days a week haha!
Right now I’m using blogengage, http://www.blogengage.com to find the blog articles I want to comment on! Not only can I give back to the submitters but can also search my niche inside specific categories.
It’s working out awesome for me!
I am happy you like my blog. For your blog I would start with big name blogs like lazymanandmoney.com
I think it is a good approach but don’t you feel that time might be used in a better way? Blog commenting is great to get your name out there but you’re not growing your business and putting money in your pocket by doing so. Have you given that any thought?
Deneil… to me it makes me want to work harder seeing your name on EVERY BLOG I visit. I do a little bit of commenting, but on a much smaller scale like George
Keep up the good work!
Yeah it surely does bring in traffic and backlinks without spending a penny. As for having many pages on the homepage. I find people look through more pages that way.
I see you on every single blog that I comment on as well…it is a good thing as your comments are always deep and worth reading. 100 per day is awesome. I am on a 100 per week rotation and that is hard sometimes.
Wow! I don’t do ANY of that, but I am glad you commented on my blog because I learned about your site.
I’m sure that blog commenting is the best way to get both traffic and backlink to your site without spending a penny. Let’s say that it’s a hard work, but it’s rewarding. I do really like the way you display articles on your blog. I mean, I have the choice among a lot of articles which is very important for me. It makes me spend more time on your blog and read your latest articles I am interested in without having to change the pages. Maybe I should publish more than 3 post by pages, but I’m afraid that the page will be too much long the scroll down.
That’s quite a plan there! So glad my friend directed me to this post.
Commenting on blogs for backlinks is a good way to try and rank higher in search engines, but you have to know the anchored text that the site will be using as a link. If you are commenting with your name, then that’s what you will rank high for. If you want to rank high for ’seo strategies’ then you should probably use that as your name so you get the anchored link.
Commenting is also good for marketing, branding, and networking so yes good points.
This is one thing I need to get better at. I really like commenting and responding to comments, but I am always pressed for time. Just have to make time I guess!

Hello Deneil
I’m definitely not sick of seeing you. I appreciate that you comment on my blog. I need to work harder and participate on a few more blogs myself.
BTW, what is the comment plugin you use for this site? I like the look. Or is it part of your theme?
Thanks!
hanji
Daily 100 comments is something terrific man…Hats of to your patience.
Simply amazing, 7000+ backlinks..
I saw you commenting on my blog too, thanks for those valuable comments..
How do you calculate backlinks? Google only shows 36 links to denielmerrit.com?
http://www.google.com/search?q=link%3Adeneilmerritt.com&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=lr%3D&aq=f&oq=
Deneil,
Great work! Must take some dedication to do that much blog commenting per day. By the way, what website do you use to check how many backlinks you have?
I like your blog, I think if you try this, I am sure you will get more comments on your blog posts.
It’s part of the theme. You can use the plugin thread comments.
Yes, it is common advice, but leaving thoughtful comments on related blogs really works.
It’s really nice to see your presence everywhere.
In the long run, whenever people see your name, they would be thinking to ourselves “hmmm, I think I have seen him somewhere”.
That will be a terrific milestone.
Thanks Deneil!
Great concept.
I am not sick of your comments coz, i got only one comment on my blog today. and i got ur comment.
I added you in my RSS reader. i think you have already done (can say by reading this post)
Hope to see you more and i will see you here!
Great Concept! Your blogs growing – definitely! no two ways about it!
An yeah – not sick of seeing you Deneil
Cheers
Sandeep
Google is not the only search engine out there my friend.
I use the SEO Book firefox add on. It shows backlinks in yahoo.
Good job, Deneil. Well, I do commenting on other blogs, but not as much as yours. Because I have pretty much works everyday >”<
Thank you, it does take some time to build up the amount of blogs in my rss feed reader. I use a firefox add on called SEO BOOK.
Awesome comment technique man. I actually just started something similar. (but on a smaller scale). It really does help seo wise and traffic wise. Recently, I am going to Problogger and visiting the blogs of all the commentators for a post. I need to do more commenting though.
I’m definitely not sick of you; you provide quality comments.
Thank you. Btw, how exactly does RSS Feed Reader work. I’ve heard a lot about it, but kind of a newbie to the idea. Would appreciate a brief explanation.
It’s kinda difficult to hit 300 blog comments in a day, some more you have time to write a blog post in daily basis. Deneil, are you a full time blogger? I’m a part time blogger and only spent 2-3 hours a day in blogging.
Regards,
Lee
Holy crap!!! 300 Blog posts in one day? I wish I had that kind of time on my hands, I would love to take in that much fresh information everyday.
If it wasn’t for my feed reader I would never get caught up or be able to reach all of the sites I like to comment on, like yours. It’s my personal blogging buddy.
How many of the new visitors actually come back the following day, week, month? Have you had a chance to track that?
Wonderful Deneil, Now i know why you are appearin on most of the blogs where I commented today
lol, That is a brilliantly planned trick, I must say, !! Kudos !! Your efforts will soon be making you in the top 10 i guess. Best of luck ! n yeah thnx for giving a commenting tip as well 
lol, I am glad you like it. Hopefully I will be in the top 10 someday.
You definitely have been everywhere, but it’s working out for you, so keep it up.
George that mean you in a circuit. Try the comment attack one time and see how much your blog and rss feed reader grows in that one day.
You welcome, let me know how it works out for you.
lol, yeah. I find a lot of blogs this way.
Yes, I comment on all blogs. nofollow or dofollow. I don’t focus on backlinks. I focus on finding more blogs and connecting with bloggers.
Yeah, I am sure it will grow to over 20,000 backlinks by the end of the year. I highly recommend you try this. It will bring a nice amount of traffic.
300 blog comments in a day is only when I am falling behind in blog comments which is really rare. I recommend you step up your blog commenting to 30 – 50 comments a day and see the difference.
I am happy its working out for you. Having blogengage under your belt really is a great tool to leverage. I will have to leverage your site pretty soon to find more blogs.
Truthfully blog commenting is the perfect way to grow my business until I reach the 6 months mark where the search engine traffic starts to flow in. I have a few plans in the works and blog commenting is one of the steps in those plans.
I never do anything without it helping out in my plans.
I am happy it motivates you to work harder. Like I recommended to George, step that scale up a bit and try the comment attack one time and see how your blog and feed reader grows.
I am glad you found it useful.
Thank you for your tip but I am not trying to use blog commenting to rank for keywords. I know a much better way to do so. I been doing SEO for years. So I know what I am doing.
Yes, commenting is good for marketing, branding, and networking which is why I do it.
If you have a start and finish time then it will motivate you to do a lot more comments in less time without spamming. My typing speed is a lot faster than I think of words to type from doing so much commenting.
Thank you, its pretty hard to have up with.
You welcome, I will be doing more comments as time go on.
Yeah, it would be nice for people to see my comment on a blog and thank to them I have seen him somewhere. It will mean I am starting to become well known.
Yeah, your blog as been in my feed reader for about a week or so. I am happy to hear you subscribed. I hope you enjoy your stay here.
You welcome, an rss feed reader allows you to subscribe to a blog without having to login your email to look at the new blog posts. Check out the post I made called Blog Comment System.
Thank you, I am working hard at it. I think I am on the right path of the traffic levels I want at the 6 month mark which is coming up quicker than I thought. These months are flying by.
You welcome
Thank you. Yeah, just set a time for your blog commenting and go for it.
Yeah, good to hear you started. Problogger always have a lot of comments so that was a great start. Slowly add more and more blogs to your feed reader.
Thank you; I do my best.
Well 300 comments in a day is really difficult to do. That’s why its rare I do it but sometimes I get way behind in blog commenting so I sit aside some time to do so. I am not a full time blogger. I have too many sites and side projects going on to be a full time blogger at the moment. I try my best to put 5 hours towards blogging and promotion for this blog as I see the brand growing pretty quickly.
I never knew it was so much easier to promote my own name vs promoting a website name I came up with.
Only when I fall behind in blog commenting. It takes a lot of time but I just view it as part of promotion and research.
Trust me, I totally understand how you feel about your feed reader. If I didn’t have a feed reader their is no way I could ever pull off a 300 comment day. That would be nuts!
I started doing the comment attack on Monday and so far I’m having good results! However, my husband asked the same thing last night ~ what happens when you stop commenting? Do the visitors stop visiting too? I said, “It’s only been 2 days! Give it some time.” Our bounce rate has gone down, visitors, time on site, and pages/visit have gone up (considerably)! But I’m curious since Deneil has been doing this longer what his views are too.

That is what I was asking also, if people actually keep coming back after you stop commenting…
Well I have been doing this for awhile now and when I stop commenting for a few days. (Being too busy with other projects) The traffic seems to still be there but I have less comments. Some people will only comment if you comment but they still a reader as my subscribers count keep going up.
Also, I don’t just relay on blog commenting for traffic, I do on site SEO for each post, and I do social media marketing. I will be talking about that in a few days.
That’s great Deneil, I can see that you’re doing a really great job in blogging. Anyway, I thought commenting with a keyword is useful and helping on the search engine ranking. But it’s not working actually to leave keyword as a name while commenting in a nofollow blog right?
I’m going to leave my name instead of keyword to promote my blog right now. I do hope to build my own brand now. thanks for the idea Deneil!
Regards,
Lee
Using a keyword is useful for ranking in search engines. Of course you would need to comment on dofollow blogs with the keyword. Commenting with your name brings a more personal level to it. Bloggers like to know who they are talking too. I for one don’t like starting a keyword as a person’s name. It just feels weird and wrong.
You welcome. Good luck with building your brand.
lol, Their are so many blogs out there. Blog commenting helps me reach out to them.
