How Comment Sniping Catapults Your Rankings
Last year I opened an account at betterthanbacklinks which gave me a blog profile on a PR7 site. The service afforded me vast editorial powers like the mods lording it over on the almighty wikipedia or about.com portals. My SERPS skyrocketed in no time.
Shortly after, the site moderators of betterthanbacklinks released for free a software they once sold for $47. It’s called comment sniper - something that I feel is just as powerful - and a virtual gatling gun in the world of SEOs. Do you want to increase your rankings in a month? This software makes it easy!
Here’s how Comment Sniper kicks ass.
- First, do some research and locate the most popular & influential blogs related to your niche audience. Technorati and google blog search helps for this step. Create the list and load them into Comment Sniper for 24/7 monitoring of new articles being posted.
- You then configure the Comment Sniper with your cell number (for SMS monitoring notifications). Let Comment Sniper chug in the background as you surf the net.
- The second a new post is made to a blog being monitored, Comment Sniper fires off a Desktop Notification and/or an SMS to your mobile phone.
- Being alerted first to the new post within seconds after publication, you can then visit and be the first to comment. Remember to add value to the article being discussed- don’t spam with viagra and seo anchortext… this ensures that readers browse to your website.
I actually found Comment Sniper addicting. My cell rings almost hourly, and if I’m connected to the internet, I surf right in and comment add value to the post with insights and witticisms.
Do the same , and in no time, you will have sent out hundreds of comments in a month and received as reward, a stampede of visitors from valuable, targeted, and theme relevant links. No doubt, it’s helped not just actual visitor traffic, but SERPs and PR as well.
Happy commenting!

wow, I just know that technique, no need to recheck rss feed since its delay behavior make me late giving comment
Comment by Micah on 18 February 2008:
I’d think this would help bring visitors more than raise serps. Why is it better to be 1st to comment? I guess there may be something I’m missing.
Comment by Joseph Plazo on 18 February 2008:
for two reasons- folks usually don’t read after the fifth comment, and some blogs paginate comments.
Hence, if you’re the 10th, you may end up being placed on a separate page. You won’t be seen.

This is a marvelous tool. It will greatly help in bringing new traffic. If you are the first to comment, and you give a good comment, people will follow your links to know more about your views.

Making the comment controversial should drive even more clicks.
Once, I made my comment name “Don’t Click Here”. I got a LOT of clicks to my site- although I admit its poor anchor text.

I never heard about this tool but I have just take a look at it. It’s a great tool. I will definitely use this. Thank you.

An excellent find, Everton, thanks. I’ve seen several similar tools, but none that seems to have the usability/robustness of this one. I am certainly taking it for a spin. I know from applying the technique on a manual, catch as catch can basis that it will work … this should make it work like gangbusters.

That’s cool find ..never heard about it.
Thanks for the heads up

This sounds like a great tool, one I will definately checkout. My site/blog are only just up and running (in a fashion) so I will need to start getting traffic soon.

I never heard about this tool before but I just took a look at it. It’s a nice tool
Comment by Micah on 19 February 2008:
Couldn’t you just have your RSS reader (on phone or PC) check every 5 minutes for the same effect - or am I missing something?
Comment by Phil Benwell on 19 February 2008:
I think its the fact of not having to check every 5 minutes and being able to get on with other things but still being notified the moment a new post is made.

Oh this is brilliant
I’ll be using this in the future. Good work!
