“Posts” are what you would use to write your various articles, lists, ideas, etc. and posts are where people can comment on them, if you want them to.
It is possible to put comments on your wordpress theme template though (Not sure about other software). I believe in the widget section there is a widget called “recent comments”. It really depends on the blog writer’s personal preference. |
No, I get all that. What I was asking is why I would want to go and post comments on OTHER people's blogs to get links to my site when the comments on most blogs are hidden unless you go to the individual post.
For example. If you go to my site's home page at:
> SelfHelpWisdom.com - A Blog Dedicated to Self Improvement and Personal Growth Topics by Paul Piotrowski
You'll see that my Google Ranking is 4/10. So if you had a link on that page it would be coming from a 4/10 page, which would be decent. So lets say you post a comment on one of my pages. You wouldn't see your comment on my home page. To see your comment, you would have to click on the actual article page, like for example:
» Igniting Myself on Fire: Committing to a Life of Passion > SelfHelpWisdom.com - A Blog Dedicated to Self Improvement and Personal Growth Topics by Paul Piotrowski
This page has 3 comments. The first comment is from "Kevin" and when you hover over his name it links to fitparents.com which is his site. So when google sees this page it would see a link to his site, which I understand. However, this page is ranked 0/10 by Google, because it's nowhere near as popular as my home page. SO, that is what I'm asking about. Why do people use posting comments as a way to get more links to their site when the pages they are getting links on are 0/10 Google ranking??? Does it still benefit them?
