Many of you might have blog commenting software such as Comment Hut and be using it to find blogs posts with high PR to comment on in order to get anchored links. Commenting on blogs has got to be for me one of the most boring things I do. Reading blogs is OK but having to put in an intelligent comment on it for the sake of maybe getting a backlink really bites.

Earlier this week I learned a little trick from Splork at Lost Ball In High Weeds that has made it just a bit easier for me. I have been using Google Alerts to find all the relevant posts that pertain to all my niche sites. All you do is put in exactly the phrases you are looking for and every day you will get an email from Google with all the day’s posts about that subject.

For instance, if you have a site about “stay at home jobs“, then you put that phrase in the Google Alerts box and pick what kind of things you want it to alert you for (like blogs, video, news, etc). Every day you would then get an email with all the links in it to all the blog posts that are about stay at home jobs. What make this so wonderful for me is that all these blog posts are delivered right to my email inbox. I don’t have to do any work trying to find them and all the posts are no older than a day old. Often I am the first commentor!

Now these posts are all new so they don’t have PR but I don’t really care that much. I am getting anchored links on posts that are highly relevant to my niche sites and I might get some targeted traffic from it. Anyway, having these emails with all the links come to me everyday makes it easier to buckle down and do some commenting. Give it a try and see how you like it.

THE UNIVERSITY KID

On a seperate note, Jason at The University Kid is going to post about a  method of making money he has stumbled across that will make a “guaranteed $50 a day“. The post he is going to make (on 8/12/08) is going to be password protected and so you will need to do one of three things (I am doing it right now) to get that password.

Now normally I would not waste my time with something like this but The University Kid is a blog that is not too far behind Griz, Court, and Vic in giving out useful information. Based on Jason’s history, I believe this is more than just hype and that there may be something useful to learn here. Nevertheless, you will gain some valuable insight into making money on the Internet if you head over to Jason’s blog.
