If you are in hunt for high PR pages to drop your comments for backlinks, you would usually come across many do-follow and auto-approved high PR pages which is spammed to death. Most people ignore those pages or simply drop their comments on those pages which is already flooded by spam comments. Don't do that again! instead harvest other pages from the same blog because you will find many hidden high PR pages with less outbound links(OBL).

I'm gonna show you how I harvest pages from a blog using Scrapebox(Not the typical way). The common footprint which we use is "site:websitename.com", but this will scrape ALL the pages which includes pages where we can't add comments. So we need to fine tune our footprint to find ONLY pages which allows you to drop comments. For demonstration
purpose, I'm gonna use the below given page. It is a PR1, auto-approved and do-follow page

Code:

http://geekswithblogs.net/tkokke/archive/2009/05/31/sending-email-from-php-on-windows-using-iis.aspx

Let's take a closer look at the comment section in that page:



These two phrases are common "Post A Comment" and "Enter the code shown above". Let's use this as foot print. So here is my final footprint.

Code:

site:geekswithblogs.net "Post A Comment" 

site:geekswithblogs.net "Enter the code shown above"

So this footprint only harvest pages with comment section enabled. It saves you hell a lot of time! Use the above as a "Custom Footprint" and harvest all the pages using scrapebox. Remove all the high OBL pages using add-on "OutBound Link Checker".

You may ask, is there a way to find pages with ZERO comments?

Answer is yes! You have to find the recent post(make sure it has NO comments) and check for common phrase in that page.For example, here is the recent post from that blog with no comments.

Code:

http://geekswithblogs.net/tkokke/archive/2010/11/23/html5-ndash-an-introduction---code-and-slides.aspx

Now let's check the comment section



If there is no comments in a page, you will find this phrase "No comments posted yet". So you just need to harvest using the below given footprint:

Code:

site:geekswithblogs.net "No comments posted yet"

Use the above as a "Custom Footprint" and harvest all the pages using scrapebox. I just scraped all those no comment pages for you. Here it is in a txt file sorted by PR.

Code:

http://www.mediafire.com/?jzkwuwb0sjw3zil

I tried my level best to explain this with my bad english so If you don't understand, just let me know.

Glad you like it! The footprint "No comments posted yet" is not common for all blogs/sites. So you may come across many different phrases. For example,

1. Why not be the first to have your say
2. There are currently no comments for this post

You can build you own list of footprints like this to find fresh pages to drop your backlinks!

Greaaat idea. I just checked some High PR sites I have collected with a lot of OBL, and I found other pages with far more less OBL or even none in the comments.

I thought about this before, but I thought "naahh it takes to long to check all the inner pages with these slow ass online tools", but guess I was to dumb to use Scrapebox doing it myself

LOL here is another tips for you! Pages with less comments doesn't hurt So let say if you want to find pages with only one comments. Try this footprint:

Code:

site:blog.mozilla.com "Comments: 1"

Again "Comments: 1" is not common for all blogs/sites. It may vary a little bit like Comments(1), 1 comment so far......hope you get my point

Code:

"No comments posted yet"

Is a bit non-specific.
It's better to really define what you want with it by using allintext operator.

Code:

site:http://someurl.com +allintext:"No comments posted yet"

Maybe add a keyword via insubject

Code:

site:http://someurl.com +allintext:''No comments posted yet" +insubject:"your keywords"

Else google will also try to find urls that match it or will turn up partial matches.
This way you sift out the useless results. Which will saves you time scraping and/or might yield more useful results taking the 1000 result limit into account.

Thank you

Very good idea, will try it today.

I've been looking for information like this. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Edit: No, I didn't use scrapebox to post this!! :-)

Excellent thanks for the tip. I've been trying to figure out how to do something like that but just couldn't 'get it'. This method should also be able to help cure the problem of 'harvesting by keywords found in the spam/comments'

My niche doesn't have too many keyword options and I keep harvesting pages which have already been commented on by people using those keywords as part of their own description to describe their niche. In my case, they are usually 'selling' stuff that people like me 'actually make'. So instead of getting pure-blog relevant links, I'm getting comment-relevant links.

So what I'm going to try is your method and re-harvest the list looking for my niche keywords. Might have to do it the otherway round but its certainly going to be better than what I'm doing at the moment.

Merry Christmas to you sir. Great gift is your tip.

I tried that footprint, but G00gle doesn't show any results when I use allintext operator. Not sure if I'm using the operator correctly!

Code:

site:geekswithblogs.net +allintext:''No comments posted yet"

But the same works when I use "intext" operator

Code:

site:geekswithblogs.net +intext:''No comments posted yet"

Good job thinking this through and then finding the proper indicators very helpful info indeed. Thanks for sharing your discovery.

He he he just trying to help more to come!

Thanks +1rep

very very nice. I was actually too lazy to try doing this with slower methods, but I got new found motivation. =D

I want this method to benefit more members so a small bump!

I can confirm this method is working. thank you cyberzilla

I can confirm this method is working. thank you cyberzilla

Glad it helped you! Stick to the basic footprint which I shared in the main threads because the advanced operator doesn't work in SB..

allin doesn't work. Other one does.

This is because you cannot conbine for insance allintitle: and intext:

allin doesn't work. Other one does.

This is because you cannot conbine for insance allintitle: and intext:

I'm just using the basic footprint which I mentioned in the main thread. It is working fine.

Thanks for the information. I feel that I'm so close to getting great results from Scrapebox, I could just use a little more advice please.

I've got a list of over 600 PR 4+ .edu Wordpress domains. I'm sticking with only Wordpress for now for the sake of being able to use the do-follow checker.

I'm just trying to narrow down the best footprints to scrape comment pages, I'm looking for the best of the best for now, for manual posting.

Now I've done my research and found this useful operator from Crazyflx's blog that has several wildcards to account for various comment footprints:

“name” AND “*mail” AND “Leave a *” AND “Comment” AND “* Comment”.

But testing several of my .edu sites with this operator, it produced less blogs open for comments than the usual site:websitename.com operator.

Granted, it turned up more relevant results, but I'm searching for the best way to get as many comment open blogs as possible out of the maximum 1000 Yahoo results.

Cyberzilla, because there are many variations of the text on comment pages, would you suggest that we enter the main ones each one at a time with our list of blogs in the window below in this format site:websitename.com?

Or perhaps we could use some wildcards to create a shortened list to run through? I've also tried the following operator, but it didn't seem to work:

allintext:"add comment" OR allintext:"please leave a comment" OR allintext:"leave a comment" OR allintext:"leave a reply". etc...

But I've yet to find any operator, that offers, overall, more comment open pages than the broad "site:websitename.com" search.

Sorry to go on, but basically, I'm looking for a short list of operators to account for the majority of all text used on pages open for comments to run through to get targeted results, for a better success percentage with the blog analyzer.

Thanks for sharing this tip, I'm going to try it on sb now!

Try this one..

site:wordpressblogurl.com "Leave a reply"

Note: not all wordpress blogs have same phrase like "Leave a reply". It varies so you have to take a closer look at the comment section for any common phrases and use it.

If your intention is to scrape all the pages from a blog., Try the below:

1. Sitemap scraper - Just use this add-on in SB. It gives you all the pages

2. URL structure - Check the URL structure and modify your footprint according to that. For example, if the URL structure is like http://blogname.com/2011/09/title of the post, then you can use the below given as footprint

site:http://blogname.com/2011/
site:http://blogname.com/2010/
site:http://blogname.com/2009/ and so on....

So you can scrape the blog year wise which gives you better results. Sometimes blog owners add category in the URL, For example, if the URL structure is like

http://blogname.com/category/title of the post, then you can use the below given as footprint.

site:http://blogname.com/category1/
site:http://blogname.com/category2/
site:http://blogname.com/category3/ and so on....

The problem seems to essentially be that most blogs, including Wordpress have nofollow default comments, so the nofollow checker that comes with it is pretty useless really.

We can enter nofollow into the websites field for the link checker, but it's not accurate.

And again, thanks for making this product, but I assume it has the same inaccuracy problems, picking up on inapplicable nofollow tags.

I've just compared the Wordpress link checker to the check links method I mentioned above. The results are very different. From a list of 5,700 Wordpress pages that have pasted the blog analyzer, the Wordpress link checker concluded that only 200 of them were do-follow, while the check links method concluded that 1,400 of them were!

Does anyone know of someone working on software that could accurately detect do-follow blogs for any blog platform? There would be MAJOR demand for it.

Thanks for making this though, I'll check it out now.

Dani, you are too much worried about d0foll0w/n0f0llow If your main concern is obtaining backlinks from d0foll0w blogs, try Blog Engine and Drupal blogs. Both these blog platform supports anchor text and d0f0llow by default. You can scrape BE blogs right away and do the blast, but Drupal is not like that. Most of the Drupal blogs ask you to register first to post comments. But its still a gold mine because the chance of getting high PR, do-f0llow pages are very HIGH here.

If you still want to find d0-foll0w blogs in wordpress, you can follow what you are doing right now or else you can come up with nice footprint for wordpress blogs which uses d0-follow plugins. The below given are the list of wordpress plugins which changes the blog to d0follow:

• Lucia’s Linky Love Plugin
• ******** plugin
• ******** (WP Plugin)
• Link Love
• GoodLinks
• Remove Nofollow
• NoNofollow
• WP-Nofollow

I'm trying to figure out footprints to find blogs with this plugins installed, but no success here. If you are smart enough, find blogs with this plugins installed

That's like saying most blogs are not about "Home Loans" so harvesting URL's from search engines is useless. It's amazing what can happen when you refine your queries to extract exactly what you want instead of harvesting random URL's and expecting accurate results. Watch this, 90% do-follow:

http://www.scrapebox.com/videos/do-follow/

The do-follow checker that you say is useless, is probably the only feature i was hesitant to release after it was built due to how valuable it can be. One of my best scores was a PR7 do follow post on a PR8 domain, ScrapeBox paid for itself right there, i know how much permanent PR7 links are to buy.

Second that.
If you can find a PR5 do-follow post and leave your comment wisely
I often find PR4-PR6 blogs with inner pages having PR3-5, and then do manual comments on 'em and guess what they stick
You can get double of SB's value in just under an hour

SF, kudos to you for making such a great tool

Bk...

Sorry guys, I was so tired last night I left that comment on the wrong thread! LOL! I was also browsing a thread about do-follower checker for Scrapebox for any blog platform in another tab.

Thanks for the useful footprints to scrape comment pages Cyberzilla, and for the list of no follow plugins, I'll get to looking for their common denominators.

SweetFunny, thanks for making this amazing tool. I can already tell that it's going to be more useful to me than SEnuke and all my article marketing put together, once I'm confident with a few sure fire ways to get quality links. I can see why they call it the Swiss army knife".

The only reason I'm so obsessed with whether or not the blogs are do-follow for the time being is because I'm only manual posting. I'm currently using three main keywords to test blog analyzer and then ******** checker success percentages, and having more success than I expected! I was being too negative, I'm getting 50-85% do-follow from the footprints I'm testing out. And although the assumption unknown percentages are high, having read up on that, I suppose most of that is useful filtering.

Hi! I just typed in site:websiteiwannaharves "Leave a Reply"
And check'd custom footprint and no keywords, and i got 0 pages!

"Leave a Reply" is NOT common for all blog platforms. It's a basic footprint for wordpress blogs. There should be some common phrases which you can use as a footprint. Check the blog page thoroughly.
