Well it’s now been almost a week since I started commenting on some of the big blogs and it’s definably starting to pay off. We received 47 unique hits yesterday alone and our Google search box even made me my first few pennies from this blog. Now I know 47 hits a day isn’t enough to start making any real money from this blog. I have other sites which are pulling in a constant 200 uniques a day and that’s only enough to make around $200 dollars in your American money a month, but it is as they say a start.

I also received a comment from a guy called Pit from http://www.torrentomega.com/ recently about abandoning our commenting strategy and concentrating on search engine optimisation (SEO). Now I know a little bit about SEO, and that one little bit I do know is that getting links to your site is the most important way to rank for any keyword. Splice in a little relevant anchor text and you’re half way to topping the mighty Google. Now I know what your all thinking, commenting on blogs is worthless as the links are all no-follow. Well yes this is true, however the links in the top commenting section are not no follow and will give me the lovely Google page rank juice I’m after. How can I be so confident these links are not no follow I hear you ask. Well using the wonderful firefox browser and a clever little plug in I see this.

Apologies for the Perez Hilton type scribbles but It gets my point across. I will be making a proper blog post about this plug in tomorrow, if you’re interested. Why a different post? Well it’s all about the SEO
