Responding To Comments Can Help Your Blog SEO
Writing by Brick Marketing on Saturday, 2 of August , 2008 at 8:21 pm
Some bloggers are quite precise in the way they handle their blogs. They perform very tight blog SEO strategies to ensure their blogs rank as highly as possible in the search engines. Sometimes you can go to extremes and find you are harming you blog or your blogs reputation.
One tactic I have seen used is to turn comments off on certain posts. The reason? They have crafted their post with carefully placed keywords and they feel that comments will dilute the keyword ratio.
Let’s be clear about one myth about keywords, there is no specific keyword ratio that works better than another. Obviously your keywords do need to appear regularly. However, to say 10%, or 5% or 7.5% is not accurate. Keywords should appear naturally within the content. Effective blog SEO places keywords in the title, in any headings and then throughout the post.
Will comments dilute this keyword ratio? Probably not. If you feel that comments may dilute your keyword ratio, rather than turning comments off, you can respond to comments using keywords within your response. This can help to maintain your keyword ratio if you insist on using one.
Comments are a valuable component of any blog. It is throught he comment interaction that you can develop relationships with other bloggers. This invariably leads to increases in links, one of the most important aspects of blog SEO.
Don’t switch off your comments, use them to help your blog SEO program and ultimately boost your rankings.
