when I leave a comment, I always promote the agent who wrote the post and I make the suggestion that the reader call that agent..... I mention the agents name a couple of times within the comment....

We comment from truth and the heart. If others don't like our comments, then don't read them. We are originals!

Barbara Todaro has a great answer. But I can't say I'm very systematic in strategizing comments... I respond to the topic, the question, sometimes to other comments as it "strikes" me.

Carol,
I agree with Nina Hollander and Barbara Todaro . Above all, I make an effort to be kind, and if I can't I don't comment. I refuse to bow to the Google gods and their bot minions. We all hate bowing to political correctedness now we have to twist ourselves into SEO correctedness?
Like Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386 said, we insist on being who we are, and live that way. A

I think there is a strategy not to hit people over the head with what is right or wrong SEO. Not all gurus truly know what they are doing I'm afraid.
I believe what I see.
Ho hum .... I guess people here didn't follow the thread or their comments would be different. Nice try Carol Williams! (hope that gets indexed).

Use keywords, agent's name and location to help that Agent.
Promoting yourself by commenting on another person's post or page is trickier, since "Etiquette" prohibits you from posting a signature or a back link to your own page or website.

It does help to mention the name, area, keywords and the like. But beyond that a sincere comment is the most appreciated and one that shows the reader actually read the post.

Booom! What Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386 said ... I do not think about SEO in comments ... I just speak from my brain/mind through my heart.

I try to mention key words, depending on the topic (say market reports) sometimes. But I guess my focus is more on providing my comment rather than contributing to SEO. I llike Barbara Todaro 's response!

No links in your response, praise the author, offer more information on the content

The golden rule works. In comments. In strategy. In life.
Drive by comments show a lack of consideration and an excellent way of never being considered for a return comment or a possible referral.

I hyperlink the poster's name and I ask my re-blog readers to comment on their original post. I re-blog to highlight the original post (which impressed me) so I prefer they get the comments.
