Are Top Commentators BackLink Reliable?
Written by Mega Champ on June 9, 2009 – 4:20 am -This is from my personal experience
I am pretty sure if you are into building backlinks for your website/blog, you must have got advice from loads of people that being in a top commentators list is the easiest way to get high quality backlinks. But most of the people forget to read the thin line which says that, the most of the high ranking blogs reset the top commentator plugin once a month, or sometimes once a week.
So, if you work hard for month to gain some links but loose all the links at once and at the same time google updates the PR, you are into pretty hard luck. It happened to me, I built great amount of backlinks through top commentators plugin and was pretty sure that in the next Google PR update my ranking will shoot up like anything. But then the month end came, all the links were reset and i lost around 50 of high PR link, which made my whole link building a disastrous experience.
Just wanted to warn in advance you, be little cautious while dealing with top commentators link. First verify how often the blog owner resets the links and then act accordingly

Thank you. You have just explained why my site yo-yo’s. We like to participate in many communities and we could not work out why we had wild fluctuations in our site rank. This helps explain it.
By the way – the verification is hard even for a human!

^^^ Yup indeed its little hard to verify each and every blog about how often they are resetting their top commentators count. Plus it can be very hard to be in a top commentators list month after month to keep your PR consistent.
So, its a pretty hard game gaining the advantage through this method. Better way will be through the do follow blogs or something.
