I have been playing around with some of the best ways to exploit what Google allows based only on my experience. This is because we all know that it would take all the best resources and SEOs to know which is truly acceptable by Google. This time, I am asking myself through a series of experiments how Google reads blog comments and can a blog owner really exploit these comments to his blog's advantage?
I actually came up with this question a long time ago and this time, I have the time to make an experiment, I will make sure that I learn something else other than what others fail to learn or at least observe how blog comments can be an effective way to gain further search engine importance for that page you are trying to manipulate.
I am sure that Google won't allow the blog author to use these comments to his advantage, this is the reason why Wordpress today have the "nofollow" attribute in their comments. But I am also sure that there are certain small ways we can take advantage of our own resources. In this case, I am after learning about blog comments and how I can make them useful to my own advantage in a SEO field or point of view.

Comments are a great way to generate quick one-way backlinks to your site (anchor text included). But remember, spam sucks, so always try to leave insightful comments wherever you go.
We must comment, and be aware of spam on our blogs, with spammy comments google do not index them i think.
i think comments are good.You can share your views there.Just giving a connection to your blog,you may have a bit of traffic also.
his morning Google unveiled minor tweaks to their search UI and expanded results. The ultimate goal of Google's revamp is to unify search results across their properties to include web search, news, blogs, images, videos, etc. all in the main Google search offering. Google is calling this Universal Search and Danny Sullivan has an excellent overview here.
The changes to the search UI are, for the most part, inconspicuous. Google's new search attempts to unify its different offerings by including links, where appropriate, to additional results. For example, a query for "ruby" will offer additional results from its blogs and code search engines, a search for "puppies" will not -- but will offer results from the image search, which the "ruby" query does not do. A search for "Hillary Clinton," meanwhile, will include results from Google News as well as things like video from YouTube (as below screenshot shows).
Great post.
I like the design of your blog, very clear, even tho the font could be a bit bigger.
I think that comments are the biggest advantage of blogs, they provide what Search Engines see as "fresh content" and this means that thanks to posters, active blogs should rank higher.
Google likes comments, it just doesn't like spam.
Figure the best thing to do is stay relevant and to contribute. If things are done right, then it will only benefit you in the end.
Google recently changed something again, all in the name of making their results as useful as possible to surfers, and sites got shuffled. It is assumed that the change is the making the nofollow less relevant for sculpting a site. But who knows. Even interviews with Google insiders leaves vague answers.
Contribute and be relevant.
Your Post regarding "How Does Google Read Blog Comments", yeah... You have a point there, and indeed it would be very helpful if you would do an experimentation on how Google Read Blog Comments, at least we would have a glimpse on how Google views it...
Is the content of comments indexed like the rest of a page? Part of me thinks it's a dumb question... how would Google know the difference? Still, it seems like an unfair way to get keywords in your content.
Well put - I'll just add, quality content and quality links.
