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.

I used to have the Top Commentator plugin on my previous theme. When I changed my blog theme, I wasn’t able to integrate it back. This reminds me that I need to have Top Commentator back on my blog. I’ll let you know as soon as I do that so you can include my blog on this list. :)

I’m not sure which version of the Top Commentators plugin you’re using here, but I installed the latest version from wordpress.org and found that, even with Hijack Proof turned on, the links could still be hijacked. I’m not sure if that was just my blogs (tried on two), but you should check it out – I posted how I fixed it today…

Hmm,
haha, I’m just starting to get the hang of all these page rank, and adsense stuff, for I just recently created my blog, http://predict2012.blogspot.com
So, basically what I need to do is read a blog I’m interested about, then comment on the blog as I feel necessary?
It doesn’t seem too hard. But who knows.
Should the blog I’m posting on be related to my blog?
[How many people have 2012 blogs? - probably a lot! ]
Thanks,
Josiah
Hey Yan, thanks for noting the increased page rank for thisismyurl.com, you know I absolutely love to hear from users and people who leave comments regularly even escape the dreaded nofollow :)
I look forward to reading what you have to say this year, your articles are always rewarding. Chris
Yeah, I’ve always checked and updated the list after each PR update. Congrats on getting that PR5, Chris.
I love your blog and thanks for the compliment.
Yan
Many thanks for adding my blog to this list. I would like to advise people commenting on all the blogs included in this list to be on topic and to make sure that by virtue of their comments, they are helping in the development of these blogs.

honestly I have found this resources at other place before ,however I will give it try from you if it is recomended back link from you ,as I am now so newby that chose by a company to spread the link I think I will update the list and follow up the advice to make the ranking linking more into the site
I am not sure how this thing works, since i have left comments on most of these sites mentioned above, but never got linked back from them on Technorati. The only time i got linked back was when Techcrunch actually posted a link to one of my blog post in its post. I do love to comment and create a healthy discussions out of it..

Akash Chatterjee´s lastest post..A Valentine Biography
I have a question for anyone who knows the answer or who can help me out. I have a blogger blog on that basically promotes multiplayer sports games. I would like to transfer everything to a wordpress blog. My blog is about 3 months old and I dont really have any page rank although I have backlinks. Does anyone have any advice on how to transfer the blogger blog to wordpress and a good place for me to get a crash course on wordpress and how to set it up making it look nice and neat like this blog with all the bells and whistles? Also, I did a W3C.org check on my blog and I had hundreds of error messages telling me I should be using & instead of < for my html coding. Anyone know what a cure for that is? And one more question: Do I need to set up a sitemap for my blog and submit it to google webmaster? Sorry for all the questions I figured I would ask and start some more conversations. Maybe I should have went to a forum but it could start some good conversations.
Thanks and input is welcome.

Hey Brad
Are you referring to self-hosted wordpress.org or free-hosted wordpress.com?
Don’t worry too much about those errors. It’s not going to affect your SERP anyway.
If you need further info, email me at efayans[at]gmail.com.
Yan
You can add my blog to the list. Its based on Blogging and related topics and currently enjoys a PR of 3. Thanks for maintaining and sharing the list to all.
