I had an interesting thing happen recently on this blog. A dude I don’t know, by the name of “Mario M.” sent me about sixty comments on multiple posts. I thought this was weird because, although they all seemed unique, I saw them popping up over a very short period of time, so I decided to contact Mario, to…
Talk to Him
About it !
Sure enough, he never got back to me, even though I used the contact form listed on his website to email him. Me-think he most likely outsourced those comments and that was a terrible mistake on his part, so I wanted to take a moment to tell you…
Why Outsourcing
Your Comment Will
Blew You Big Time !
1. It’s Your Comment
When you post a comment on a post, it should be the expression of your opinion, and not your contractor’s. No matter how hard you train your contractors, you won’t be able to completely control what they say, and since they’re putting your name on it…
Their Opinions
Are Your Opinions
As Far As Everyone Visiting the Blog
Are Concerned !
2. There is No Need to Outsource Commenting
Blasting authority blogs with hundreds of comments is about the worst thing you can do. I can promise you none of your spam comments will stick, and it’ll be a terrible waste of time. Normally, when you comment, you’ll be posting one or two comments on a post and that’s it. There will probably be about 5 to 8 blogs you’ll be following and commenting on regularly.
Do You Really Think
You Need to Outsource that ?
Of course not! An experienced blogger knows exactly how many comments he’s going to get on his posts and how long they’re going to take. He knows it because he’s been blogging most likely for years. If he sees anything that doesn’t seem normal (like I did with Mario), red flags get put up, and…
The Comments
Don’t Stick !
3. They’re Your Friends’ Blogs
No matter what, your contractor does not care about the quality of the comments he’s making as much as you do. Since ideally you’ll be commenting on blogs belong to people you know and work with, you want to make sure your comment is…
As Good As
Humanly Possible !
Don’t risk your relationship with some of the most influential people in your market by letting someone you don’t really know or trust write something…
You Can’t Control
At All !
4. You’ll Get Lost
As I’ve just mentioned to you, there are usually just a few blogs in every industry that are worth commenting on, and for the most part, the people that run them don’t post all that often. If you do your own commenting, you’ll have an easier time staying on top of what you’re doing, and if you provoke a conversation…
You’ll Be Able to
Mark it Down and
Get Back to it Easily !
There’s nothing better for your relationship with an influential blogger, than an ability to start an interesting, and dynamic conversation. I can assure you your contractors won’t put enough heart into their comments to spark any interest. Remember…
They Just Want to
Get the Job Done and
Move On !
5. Your Comments Will Not Be Passionate Enough
When you look at blogs and particularly read the comments, you’ll immediately be able to determine whether a person who made them actually believes in what they say, or whether they’re just faking it. Obviously, if you do the commenting yourself, your comments will be more emotionally charged, because…
You’ll Be More Passionate
in Your Writing !
This passion will, of course, lead to more interest, and, if your comments are interesting, funny or provoking, you’ll be noticed by the blog owner and…
Get Approach
in Near Future !
6. It’s All About Your Relationship
Above Photo Credit to: danielkrol / 123RF Stock Photo
The comments are often the very first thing a blog owner sees when they get to work in the morning and log into the dashboard. They read them before they check out the website attached to them. They go through them before they open their email. I know some people who won’t even answer their phone before…
They Check Out
the Comments !
That’s how important they are. If you make good quality, helpful comments, the person running the blog will have a good opinion of you, and they’ll look forward to hearing from you again. On the other hand, if you outsource your comments, and they turn out cheap, your relationship with the blog owner will be ruined.
Again,
Wanna Take that Risk ?
7. Set Yourself Apart from the Competition
People try to outsource everything, which for the most part is a good thing. It saves time and gets things done very quickly and efficiently. As you probably already realize, however, blog commenting is not the best thing to outsource, and yet…
A Great Deal of Bloggers
Do it !
If you don’t, you’ll be different from them, which will be extremely helpful when it’s time to promote something on your blog. Having said all that… Some of us work in multiple niches, and if you do, you know how hard it is to comment on all those blogs and…
Stay On Top of
What’s Going On !
That’s why, there might come a time when you’ll need to outsource your blog commenting. When that happens, I want you to keep one thing in mind:
It’s going to be hard to find them, but people like them are out there. When you find an employee like that, treat them well, and…
You’ll Have a Great Asset for
Many, Many Years to Come !
Be Yourself,

LOL, I was just “spam bombed” and they were all basically the same type of comment “Great site blah blah blah
Why people bother to do this is beyond me! And they had to all be done by hand or a custom script was created for CommentLuv.
Nothing pisses me off more then when people do this sort of thing. Are they so desperate for backlinks that they just spam every blog they find that shows on the first page of Google searches? (Because all of the articles they comment on do show on the 1rst page of Google Search!)
I wish I could find the person and wring their neck or at least scream in there face until my voice goes hoarse. Yes… I’m that frustrated at the moment!!
So perfect timing with this article Wong! At least the lovely ladies helped calm me down a bit ;-p

You know this people are usually some sort of SEO company type of people, on their site they promote about how they are expert in SEO and other sort of link building, but obviously they know absolutely nothing, seriously if they did know they won’t bomb the hell out of any post with the same type of comment again and again, this is not professional but stupid, that is why until today I still don’t believe in SEO, keywords stuff and also link building.
To me, all this are just a bunch of stuff people like to claim expect in, when the truth is these people actually doesn’t know the search engine system was created to “search” and not “claim for first spot on the first page of Google.”

Well, I’m totally agree — well, not totally, i believe in commenting on blog for building backlinks, — but hey, when I spam, at least i don’t outsource it. I put my thought in my spam comment. I do my own comment spamming. I don’t use SENuke or anything like that.
And yeah, this is spam comment. Lol, not really. Don’t erase it.

Hey Wong,
This type of blog commenting continues to be a huge problem. You’d think it would be a huge waste of time for spammers, but I still see a lot of crappy and generic comments being approved on blogs, so maybe it’s not as big of a waste of time as it seems like it would be. If I had a nickel for every time I saw a “Thanks for the great post! I really learned a lot from it.” comment, I’d be one rich dude.

Hey Wong,

Hi Wong,
AWESOME CONTENTS DERIVED BY YOU.
You raise good points.
I think sometimes people think they have so much catching up to do that they must join everything they see when really they don’t.
It is far better to start slowly, find your feet, and get to know programs you join before moving onto something new rather than bulk commenting.
I think these points should be implemented.

Ya, you are right people should start slowly and move up to the top, but most of them like to go the easy way which is obviously the wrong way, outsourcing comment to some else you do not know, is like giving your farm away and it’s very dangerous, I mean one stupid comment will cause your reputation to fall from the top to the bottom.

I don’t know, Wong, I think maybe you’re being too harsh…
No, not really. But you know me; I’ll even talk to spammers if they manage to amuse me (takes more work than most of them are willing to put into it, though). How to get a spam comment approved on my posts:
- Comment on my contest entry and give me something I can work with.
- Write me some Beat poetry, using keywords from my post. Make sure it sounds good, read aloud, by William Shatner;
- Use intriguing words that spark my imagination and inspire a short story (like this one: http://jahangiri.us/new/2011/11/11/fishmongers-spalpeens/ )
- Make it relevant to the post, and CLEAR that you read the post. (Unlike Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s email autoresponder: http://jahangiri.us/new/2009/01/08/thanks-for-the-form-letter-senator/ )
See? Even our government officials “outsource” their replies to constituents – apparently using bad software as a stand-in for human thinking.
You’d KNOW if I outsourced mine, wouldn’t you? (Now will you come over and leave a few on my contest entry? Pretty please?)

Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger recently posted..Why Blogging Content Just Isn’t Good Enough Anymore?
I don’t even agree with the concept of bombarding a blog with loads of comments. In my opinion instead of getting the blog loaded with loads of wasteful comments, it is better to have a handful of genuine and relevant comments. If the content is good as well as impressive, the comments will come on their own. I completely agree with you on this niche. Thanks for bringing up a relevant issue, seeing today’s scenario.

Hi,
Most of them are opinionated. In my view, outsourcing comments need not be so loathsome. I have outsourced comments to a couple of dedicated people and they have done a good job, so far. What is important here is that your people should know your mission and then everything falls in place.

Well… to me it doesn’t matter whether is a personal blog or business blog, as long as the comment is not done by the owner itself… everything written in the comment is not real, what I mean is those comment aren’t from the owner’s mind and it’s very dangerous if any of the comment that was outsource was written badly… it might just destroy the owner’s reputation.

Well i don’t find anything wrong with outsourcing blog commenting but it should be made sure that its done in the right way.Simply posting not so relevant comments means wastage of time and efforts of both poster and blog owner.In the end its all about quality over quantity.

Kulwant Nagi recently posted..Must Read Blogs: 10 blogs which I read daily
People actually spent money to blast lots of spam comment not to gain visitor through their comment. They simply use it as a way to boost their ranking in SERP.
Their comment links also doesn’t necessarily have to be their main website, it can be dummy website, which links to their money site. That way they get link juice without risking their main site to Google chopping block.
I must admit that I’m guilty at that too. I’m one of those people who do comment spamming as a way to get bad backlinks for my dummy site, wiki sites, youtube channel, which passing me all the link juice to my main site without risking Google penalty.
And i must say, that contrary to this post, it works (kinda) wonderful.
