		<description>Randy, I would be careful about how you drop comments. If the reason you&#039;re doing it is to build link popularity, then you&#039;re looking in the wrong place. If you don&#039;t add value, don&#039;t bother. Otherwise, comments are more than welcome!</description>

		<description>Randy, simple answer. Mostly, no.

Technical answer... if you look at the source of this page you&#039;ll notice a &quot;nofollow&quot; property applied to all links by anonymous commenters; that&#039;s us. This is becoming a standard practice among blog administrators as penalties can be incurred if a site has too many &#039;irrelevant&#039; links. That said, there are blogs out there that don&#039;t apply &#039;link condoms&#039; to comments as their admins are either not well informed or are satisfied with moderating all comments.

3 weeks is very premature, write more content and build up a readership. You can only build a readership by writing more content! :D

On the safe side and take this as a gem; not many blog hosts will tell you their traffic volume, it took me appx. 6 months of progressive posts - that is trying different topics, styles and language while analysing each variations interest response - within my post frequency - at least one post every three days - to achieve 2500+ pageviews per week and climbing.</description>

		<description>Hey I got a question about how to promote your blog. If I leave a comment on a blog that has a high page rank, will Google know that and start to rank my blog at higher page ranks? My blog is called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freeforallreviews.blogspot.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Free For All Reviews&lt;/a&gt; and is only about 3 weeks old now. I have been trying to increase my page rank and I ask this question to see if it has worked for other people.</description>

		<description>Hello,

I work for the Mequoda Group, and last month we started ranking the top 100 media blogs in the US based on UV counts. You can check out February&#039;s results here: http://daily.mequoda.com/top100/top100.html and next week we will be announcing the March results. 

The thing is with blogs, there are so many on such a wide array of topics that the possibilities for listing or ranking them by category are almost infinite. Maybe a good idea for a site: 100 blog lists of tip 100 blogs.

Any takers?</description>

		<description>Now that I&#039;ve had time to think about it, some webmasters might structure the URL like that for an Adwords landing page and fill the columns with Adsense or any other impression based pay model to pay for the sponsored link as well as some petty cash on the side.</description>

		<description>Hi Michael,
That&#039;s just how it ended up I guess. We should do a better job of practicing what we preach regarding blog SEO. :)</description>
