We all know that a comment on a blog can give your website a great back link. However you really must think about what you are writing. Some of the comments I get from people trying to promote their sites are really funny. They don't even try to hide the fact that they are trying to just get a link. Most of them do not even comment on what the post is about. Really! Blowing smoke up someone’s behind is not a compliment.

I love the ones that tell me how wonderful my post, and my writing are on a post that says "Happy Thanksgiving". Yea that takes lots of writing skill to wish people a great holiday. How skillful can I be. I must be the greatest writer on the face of the earth for that post has received a lot of wonderful comments. That is not too sarcastic is it?

Ok, I am not against giving people a back link when commenting on my blog posts. Here are the rules.

• No names of websites in the name category. Please just put your name.

• Try actually reading the post and commenting on the relevant information.

• Try to keep your web site address to your main page only. Some of you have very long links.

• Do not put your website information or a promo of your site in the comment.

• Give the web master of the blog credit for having a brain.

These rules are not set in stone but if you do not follow them than your comment and back link may not be published. I am willing to help other web masters promote their sites but lets at least try to make the comments relevant. I appreciate your cooperation. I reserve the right to edit any comment, link, or remove email addresses or any information that I wish to. As a matter of fact I reserve the right to change anything on my blog that I feel like.

I have an entire section of my blog for links. You can email me at links@ematchusa.com with a description of your site. If I like it I will post it. If you want to comment on my sarcasm, just post a comment on this blog. I may actually publish it.
