To recap, what they don’t teach you about link building is that with little effort, you can work your way into the Top Commentator list by commenting on other blogs with similar niche.

Once you are in that top list, you will gain sitewide link and get to enjoy the PR juice from the said blog. All you need to do is to be active and engage in the discussion by not spamming leaving quality commentary.

This is an excellent link building tip from Yan, over at Thou Shall Blog. (btw: PR3 blog)

One easy way to build backlinks on your blog, is to climb on the Top Commentators list, that some blogs have on their sidebar. Comment regularly on blogs that have it installed, but not just any blogs, but ones with decent PR.

If you run a blog with some decent PR on it, and are looking for an easy and free way to thank your most loyal commenters, you now know a solid option. They get an awesome backlink, you get awesome comments. Everyone benefits.

Shout out goes to Yan for this tip, as i did not know this. Yan has gone above and beyond, by also creating a list of top PR 3 and Pr 4 blogs that have the TC widget installed. (This is a must bookmark list)

P.S. I do plan on installing the Top Commentators WordPress Plugin on this blog. As you will notice, this one is currently a PR 3. Look for it soon, and ramp up your backlinks here in August.
