A few years ago high PR backlinks from manual blog commenting exploded and became one of the most popular ways to build high PR links quickly and effectively.
Way back then they were very powerful especially if you leveraged the strength of high PR comment links.
It was incredibly easy to rank pages with nothing but blog comments but then tools like Scrapebox came along and ruined the party for everyone as every man and his dog was blasting hundreds of thousands of comments out per day and they become less effective.
UPDATE: You can get high PR backlinks from LinksThatRank or any one of these link building services.
What Will I Learn?
High PR backlinks are when you get a link to your website from a website that has a high level of authority or page rank. They are considered to be the most powerful type of backlink you can get.
I use high PR links from manual blog commenting as part of my overall link building process but it is difficult to judge if it is still effective as it once was when you are building lots of different links over a number of months.
There is only one way to find out (you know where this is going right?) so I decided to setup my own test and share the results with you!
In this experiment I selected a keyword focused inner page of a website that is already ranking well in the SERPS for its main terms. The inner page I chose had no previous link building work done on it all and was perfect for the purposes of this experiment.
The page mentioned above was already optimised for the 2 keywords. Keyword 1 naturally ranked at position 62 and keyword 2 ranked at position 69 at the start of the experiment.
Every week for 4 weeks I built 100 new high PR backlinks with comments and ensured every target page had-
I did not spread out the link building each week and just built all 100 of them in one go every Tuesday morning.
Pretty simple stuff and a few years ago that would have been more than enough to rank for some pretty decent terms.
I started building the links on the 7th Of February and so far 200 of the 400 planned links have been built.
So 200 links seems to have a positive uplift so far and I’m sure Google are still playing catch up with finding all the juicy new links. Both keywords have jumped up at least 10 positions or so.
Last week I built the final set of the links to the page which has now had at least 400 high PR backlinks from comments built to it over the past 4 weeks. Rankings below-
Both keywords have shown fairly decent increases in rank across the past 4 weeks. Keyword #1 has jumped up 23 places so far and keyword #2 has jumped up 25 places although both seem to be jumping between the 40’s and 50’s at the moment.
Google will still be playing catch up with all of the links that have been built so I will update the page again in a couple of weeks with the results of that.
Clearly high PR blog comments do carry some weight and still provide traction with Google although I wouldn’t like to completely rely on them to get me to the number 1 position. You should definitely be using them to support and diversify your existing link building campaigns.

Thank you so much for adding this article, i’m researching on creating more backlinks and indexing/pinging my site to more search engines to increase organic traffic, I also see that you’ve made it so we can add our websites to our comments to so thank you again for that as well.I’m a new blogger and have been for about a month and 12 days now, so there is little change for me getting approved by Google Adsense anytime soon as I have little traffic coming to my Blog as opposed to my competition.Ill keep on trying through as I would love to create my own business online as opposed to working the usual 9-5 job ;/How much do you earn from Ad revenue per month if i may ask?
