Getting Unique Niche Blog Links...

Q. When I post a comment at someone else’s blog and they ask for my URL, is it OK to offer both my website URL as well as the URL for my blog? If so, do I separate them with a comma? Obviously, the more inbound links to the website and the blog, the better.

A. If you read and comment on other blogs (and you should be!), you know that you can leave your name and URL for your site. We always advise our clients to be commenting frequently on blogs of similar topics in order to get known in the blogosphere and to create inbound links to your own blog or website. There is generally one field to put your URL.

Some people do put their URLs in the body of the comment and though I don't think there is a hard and fast rule on this, many bloggers consider this to be spam, especially if it doesn't contribute to the conversation or provide a resource related to the topic of the post.

Yes, you want inbound links from the blogs you're commenting on, and you want to be respectful of the blogger. Some bloggers may delete or not approve your comment if you stuff it with extra URLs. Personally, I'd stick to putting one URL in the field provided unless I was including a link the comment box that added to the conversation. A link to your own website probably doesn't do that. But a link to a free report on your site,if relevant, could be considered OK.

The other thing to consider is that some blogging platforms to not allow you to have an active hyperlink in the body of the comment. And in TypePad you can choose to have them active or not.
