You say that Google knows better, so where is the proof of this or am i just blinded by the "We Love Blogs" message that is constantly spewed out across the web. I agree with your tactics on building content as opposed to wasting to much time on commenting.

Thanks' for the read

@Andrea J. Stenberg: Commenting is a great way to build connections, I’m not discounting that aspect of it – I say work commenting into your daily activities and schedule if you can. Just don’t let it take away from creating new content.

I know I for one was guilty of trying to find things to do to build my blog, instead of just writing. I got to a point where I made a decision to just write and my blog has taken off like none other.

I would suggest setting a time amount for blog commenting daily, and sticking to that. The fact though is – to be truly successful you should be posting at least 3 blog posts daily, or 21+ posts per week.

The other point of the post is that DoFollow no longer has any benefit for link-building. Google can tell if you’re link-building and may even penalize such activities if you appear scandalous. Comment if you like the article – but don’t look for DoFollow blogs to comment on anymore – there’s no point – Google knows better.

But blogs aren’t just a content delivery tool that’s easier to use than a traditional website. They are a form of social media. And part of being social is to comment, to be part of the conversation. By commenting you’re giving fellow bloggers a chance to get to know you and maybe start a conversation. It’s not all about SEO.

I totally agree that the bulk of your time should be on building content, but don’t forget about the connections as well.
