As far as comments go, can someone explain why this works? Meaning, most blogs do not display the comments on their home page when an article is written. It just says ">> 8 Comments" or something like that, and it is only when you click on the actual page of that article, where the blog displays only that article do you see the comments below.
The thing is that while the home page of a hot blog site might be Google Ranked at 5 or 6 or higher, the individual article pages are usually ranked 0 especially if the blog pumps out 3 posts a day.
Speaking strictly from a traffic creation point of view, not morally right/wrong, would it actually benefit my traffic largely if I went and posted comments on lets say the top 10 blogs in my category just saying "Great Article!" for example? Assuming the blog authors allowed the comments, would it actually build links to my blog?
I heard of this "tactic" before, but I never understood how/why it would work. For some reason I thought that having fewer links from highly rated sites was better than more links from lower rated sites? Is this not true?
Someone please enlighten me.
Thanks.
