Now-a-days, it also helps to build your brand and make yourself well-known in blogging industry. But finding the right blogs to drop comments is not really easy, especially for newbie bloggers. You can use some tricks, get helps from search engines and some other tools to find similar blogs in your niche.
Okey, Why you have to find similar niche blogs for blog commenting?
There are several reasons to find similar blogs for blog commenting. Some important reasons as follows

Some professional bloggers and SEO’s don’t like to get backlinks from a blog which Domain Authority less than 20. Personally, I have never commented on those blogs which Domain Authority less than 10.
- Page Rank – Although Page Rank not updated for the last few years, but some bloggers and webmasters still consider Page Rank to get backlinks from a blog.
- Alexa Rank – Another important and great way to measure the quality and popularity of a blog. Personally, I don’t like to comment on those blogs which Alexa Rank more than 40K.

Yes You are right, Backlinks from related Niche is very important according to SEO. But I have a question related to commenting. Most of blogger give nofollow backlinks in commenting then How can we make high quality backlinks from there?
Best Regards:
Areesha Noor!
Hello Areesha,
Thanks for your valuable and nice comment.
Yes, most of the bloggers give nofollow links to keep their blog safe but you can get dofollow links from some blog. You need to find those blogs.
However, I think dofollor or nofollow is not a big matter in Today’s SEO, specially for blog comment backlinks.
Hello,
I have been using Google codes for finding the similar websites to create blog comment and make my website really good. But, I was unable to find the real opportunity to find the real fact that other formula’s can also work!

Hi Masud,
Thanks for your valuable comment and glad to know you find this helpful.
Like other bloggers, I’m also following some other successful blogger, SEO experts, Online Marketer and Affiliate Marketer to get success in this industry. But I want to say, Follow other bloggers and build relation with them, but never copy them. Build your own strategy, make experiment to learn something new and get success with your own strategy. This will help to impress yourself and measure your success.
Thanks for your great suggestion Manik. It’ll be helpful for me to show my creativity and difference from others. I’ll keep in mind your words. Thanks once again.
i use one of the method you have mentioned in the above post, i also visit top blogs and reach there comments section to find out new blogs for blog commenting. in this way i am commenting on the industry related blog or same niche blog for getting quality links.
i read the article and then comment genuinely, i don’t just comment for sake of a backlink for my site.
Representation is well done thanks..

when iam seeing this article i was decided these factors are really helpful to commenting in blogs to me. and hope i’ll definitely succeed in blog commenting 🙂
Well articulated. What a way to start blogging with this article
It is always recommended that a blogger should always connect his/her blog with the websites which have same niche. It also helps to increase authority. I have never used linksearching till now so will work on it.
Thank you for sharing this.
Great post! I’m already checking out all of these sites. My confusion is if you find relevant bloggers in your niche through random searches outside of lets say WordPress.com, when you leave a comment how do those bloggers, or other commenters see your site?
In my experience, many sites don’t tell you to list your website when your leaving a comment. Do you post your site under your comment, or does that look too spammy? How can other commenters see that you have a blog as well if the bloggers website doesn’t require your website info?
Thanks!
Hello Derek,
I never comment on those blog/website where website listing option not available and also never my blog address under comment, it really looks spammy.
Hai Fakharuddin Manik,
