Comment Kahuna?

Does anybody use Comment Kahuna to get good quality links?

yes I do but manual methods work well when you start so you get to know your potential market.

I use it but mostly to FIND things rather than using the comment-dropping piece. It feels too spammy to me. So I find topical posts and then write individual comments.

I agree I don't use the auto comment field... I do that manually after reading the posts it finds and thinking of something intelligent and worthwhile to say.

I think Comment Kahuna is a great tool. I have built tons of backlinks fast with it for other sites. I haven't used it on my 30DC blog yet because I am sticking to Ed's material 100%.

When I do use Comment Kahuna I custom tailor each comment though. I RARELY use the same comment twice. I also be careful not to do too many at once. Early on, I was commenting on Wordpress hosted blogs. (Even though they are no-follow you actually get quite a bit of traffic from them.)

If you post more than like 20 comments in an hour the site will warn you that you are posting too quickly. Definitely don't want to get your IP address or username on their blacklist because it is a treasure trove. (Even with the no-follow business.)

Good luck everybody!

Okay, why does everyone get so upset about spam? Ever have a good spam musubi? lol

Think about this. We never really complained about junk mail. We never passed laws about junk mail. We never threw people in jail for junk mail. So why are we so upset about junk email etc?

It is a lot easier to get rid of and does less damage to the environment than the garbage I get in my mail box. Actually, that is making a comeback. People have figured out that with less physical junk mail the opportunity is ripe for the picking.

Anyway, in the real world, to make money you do what you have to as far as is legal. If that means sending out a million emails, you do it.

You are here in this training to learn to make money and email marketing and forum posting marketing are ways of bringing in traffic to make money. Don't stick your nose up at it.

I use Comment Kahuna for the search function and I like that if fills out my anchor text, email address and website address. I never use the drop-in comment box. I always read the full articles and comment on each one individually if I have something to add. If I don't have something to add I skip commenting on that article and go on to the next.

It just speeds up manual commenting a bit for me.

To DonH, the author of the previous post, spam is a bigger problem than junk mail because it can take over your email life. I get thousands of spam messages in my spam box daily. Thousands daily. If I had to wade through them in my inbox I would shut down that email address and get a new one. Email already takes too much time out of my day as it is.

There is a law against spam in the U.S. called the CANSPAM act. It's why we email marketers have gone to making subscribers opt-in to our email lists. They only get them if they go to an email we send and click on the subscribe link. Just subscribing by email on our sites won't get them subscribed. Subscribers can also unsubscribe very easily by clicking a link at the bottom of any email they receive from our lists. They click the link, visit the subscription page and change their subscription options. No more email from an unwanted source.

If you think you will make money by spamming people, you are wrong. You will at best be filtered out and at worst be banned from several sites, servers, hosts, and affiliate programs. If your webhost gets complaints that you are spamming from their servers, you may try to log in to find your account locked and all your websites down. If you were indeed spamming you won't be able to get your content back for weeks or months, or maybe never. If you weren't spamming, it will still take weeks to get everything sorted back out and your websites back up. Time is money and the longer your sites are down the more money you lose.

No, you won't go to jail, but you won't be in business anymore because no one will deal with you.

So be warned. Spamming is something to take seriously and to seriously avoid.
