If you have a blog, you may have spent a lot of time in researching, how you can attract more and more visitors to your blog.
There are various methods to achieve this, but, leaving comments on other blog is the one of the best ways. But, leaving a comment is not the only thing which we have to take into account.
Quality of the page, where we are leaving comment is also very important. When we try to find a blog related to our niche, we may find various blogs having ‘no comments’ to ‘having thousands of comments’.
There may be some blogs which have moderation system in place and other may be there, which allow anyone to comment anything.

In SEO, we agree on a basic rule that, the link which comes easily has least worth and the link which can be achieved with real hard efforts only, will have most worth.
So, if moderation is not there, there may be countless comments having links to any shit like destinations on web. On the other hand, a blog, which gives great SEO worth to the links placed on it (through comments off course), will have a number of links (good SEO professionals will do anything to get links there).
Now, getting a link on such blog-posts is important, but don’t you think, getting a link on such blog-post before anybody else will be amazing. It will give your link a SEO worth more than it gives to any other’s link on the same page.
So, how we can find blog-posts, which have just been published and indexed by the Google and only a couple of comments (may be, none) have been posted there yet?
Here is the trick. We can use Google Alerts for this purpose. Have a look at the trick we will be using Google Alerts for this…
- Go to the Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts)
- Sign In with your Gmail ID.
- Enter ‘Keyword’ (niche related, which you want to search blogs for) in to ‘Search terms’ box.
- Enter ‘Blog’ in ‘Type’ box.Select ‘as-it-happens’ in ‘How often’ field.
- In Volume field, select ‘Only the best results’.
- Put your email id in ‘Deliver to:’ option.
- Click on the ‘Create Alert’ button.
Now, whenever Google will index any blog-post related to your keyword, it notify you by an email, in your inbox itself.
But, there is a problem. Till when, Google will mail you these alerts, you may get late to post your comment on first (First is always important! No?) place. So, what to do, to be there, before anybody else?

You have an opportunity to be there, before anybody else. Just, go to the ‘Google Alert’ you have created, any time you want to check recently indexed pages. And find a link ‘Preview results’ just below the ‘Search terms’ box. Click on the link and you will find the latest results related to your ‘specified keyword’.

i have done that before, but the google alert often send me the same resource of the post, so i do not like it. then i quit. i need many different domain links, not just few
@Lucifier
I understand your frustration and it happened with me. What I can suggest is, select “best results only” which will help you to filter a lot of junk results. This is not 100% accurate, but still effective. I have also tried a software call Mention which offers many advance option, but it’s paid. Something a serious blogger like you can look into.
Thanks for sharing helpful trick . You have very great ideas for comment posting. Google alert is very helpful for blog post work. I really appreciate your ideas. Keep posting such helpful ideas .
Google alert is the best for the best blogging target.
Thanks for the trick. In my opinion both blog posting and blog commenting helps us to increase the traffic of our site. As the traffic to our sites increases it will get high page rank. While reading a blog I always read its comments too. In that I always read from top to bottom. And in my view every one gives more attraction to the first comment. So I think it is better to comment firstly on a blog.
I had some experience with Google Alerts, but I didn’t know the preview trick. As I’m starting my own online business now, I certainly will get into this. Maybe not for traffic, but I see more opportunities with Alerts. Thanks!
Hah…I never thought of using alerts in such a way…I will try it definitely, I used them only to get the news on things that I’m interested in. But than again it’s not only about finding a website, more importantly it’s about reading the articles !!! And leave a decent comment, just like you said…thanks for the post
Great Tip! I used google alerts always for be the first always. Thanks for share
I agree with Sujith, the quality of the posts is also something that Google looks at, I really dont think first or last makes difference in the traffic. Sorry, but thts my opinion.
Being First commenter you can easily get good traffic but one should also think about the quality of the comment and adding value to the post ! Doing “nice post” or “awesome post” wouldn’t add any value to the post! I think doing quality comments is the best way to get traffic and this way you can even build relationship with blog owner.
