Previously on thoushallblog.com, I revealed a little secret of link building with an article, What They Don’t Teach You About Link Building which has become one of the most popular articles on this blog. The most popular article is A-Z Blogging Guide for Beginners, just in case you have missed it.
To recap, what they don’t teach you about link building is that with little effort and consistency, you can easily work your way into the Top Commentator list by commenting on other blogs in similar niche.
Once you are in the top commentator list, you will gain sitewide backlink and get to enjoy the PR juice from the blog. All you need to do is to be active and engage in the discussion by not spamming leaving quality commentary that adds value to the conversation.
Top Commentator = Google PageRank + Technorati Rank
With the impending Google PR update soon, the more backlinks you get from high PR blogs, in theory the more PR you will get on the next update. It’s the simplest and most effective link building strategy any beginners should undertake in pursuit of better search engine ranking.
Just in case, you aren’t in the know, here’s how Google calculates PageRank to give you a pretty good idea of how many backlinks you need to get your PR.
In much the same way that Google ranks search engine results by link popularity, Technorati keeps track of who’s linked to who and assign Technorati Authority accordingly.
As you build more links by being in the Top Commentator list, you will gain more authority and see an increased in your Technorati Rank.
List of Blogs with Top Commentator Plugin
So here I’m attempting to compile a list of blogs with various PageRank (presumably correct at the time of this writing) to help you jump start your link building campaign and get that coveted PR status, speaking of which I haven’t got it myself yet as this blog of yours has only been in existence for less than 3 months.
[Updated: March 2009]
[Updated: July 2009] Apologize for the inconvenience. The plugin that displays the list isn’t working anymore.
The above list is taken straight from my bookmark and has been updated with the recent Q2 PR update and it will continue to grow as I’ll be updating it with more blogs of PR 1 and above.
To The Blogmaster
If for some reason your blog is not listed here, please state your intention for inclusion on the comment below and I’ll put into the list on the next update. However, I reserve the rights to reject any blogs deemed inappropriate.
Till we meet again and happy commenting.

Good post. That list is invaluable. I see you have an explanation of why, but saw it first on Danny’s blog about Link Building. Nevertheless, it is good stuff. I would like to be on this list with Top Commentator plugin.

Dot Com Dud´s lastest post..September Traffic Analysis
this list is awesome, i love that someone sharing a dofollow blog so we can build more relationship between each blog
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
I need the dofollow! It is not too easy to receive a better traffic to a newly created blog for example like mine, it’s barely 2 weeks old. Or to get, finally, commentators getting involved. For now I focus on creating more of a new content, one page per day at least, I also comment out there on community blogs from time to time and the fruit should come to me sooner I believe. Thank you Yan for the advices, you would be missed not to be here.

Yan, this is an excellent work however I’ve a suggestion.
This post is inflating with our comments, so what about placing this list on a Page with the title you mentioned, PR-List and you can keep this post for commenting + linking back to the mentioned page?
I’m also using the Top Commentator plugin on my site (PR2). However, seeing all these names on your list makes me feel that my blog is still too small -yet- to be there :P Hope to get on your list someday.
P.S.: in response to a comment you left some time ago on my blog: you’ve also got a nice blog, too!

Hi Gerald
I wish I could put you into the list but on the basis of fair game, those are sites that have ‘Top Commentator” plug-in installed.
Are you planning to have one in the near future? Thanks for coming by and thanks for reading. Stick around, pal.
Yan
Hey Yan this is just an update to let you know I put this page link in my blogroll because I truly believe it’s that important.
BTW: My blog may only be PR1, but still isn’t that good enough to be placed on your list considering you do have a few extra spots left in the PR1 section???

I’m sorry, Faz.. Your site isn’t in the blogging niche so as much as I wish to include you into the list, on the basis fairness to the others, I couldn’t at the moment.

Hmmm, Fas I went to your site. I don’t see any Top Commentator list and your site is no follow. Cool cars though.
Yan do you get a lot of commenters wanting to be on your lists when they don’t qualify?

Hey Ned
Yes, I receive a lot emails (and comments) asking me to include them into the list but I don’t usually oblige unless they qualify.
Since the comment url is no longer dofollow now, I care less about spamming now. Just like the comment above…;)
Good to see you again, Ned.
