Atniz dot com is 9 months old now (as of Jan 2009) and successfully gathered 21,000 backlinks pointing to it during this period. Some might say it is impossible to get this kind of backlinks. Trust me, this is not that hard to achieve. Believe it or not, most of the backlinks is the results of commenting on other blogs. Please check smartpagerank and backlinkwatch showing Atniz have 21,000 backlinks and growing.
Previously, I was actively commenting around 150 – 200 comments a day and gave up in a month time. Lately, I found out another new method that helps me to get thousands of backlinks from minimal workload. If you see on my right column, there is a widget name “Top Commentators”. This widget has been set up as dofollow and gives page rank juices for my top commentators. I choose to show this widget on my main page only. Not all bloggers who have installed this widget does that. Most of them show it on all the pages in their blog. Let’s say the blog is 2 years old and have more than 300 pages and you able to get on the list of top commentators widget. You will get 300 backlinks from just one domain to your site.
If you could get on the list of 10 new sites with top commentators widget, you would easily get 3,000 backlinks pointing to your site. Of course, this is just the simple calculation. Currently, I have subscribed to over 100 sites that gives dofollow top commentators links. My guess is that 21,000 is just a beginning. By year end, the possibility of backlinks could jump to 100k is high. Well, this is my secret of getting higher backlinks with dofollow to our blog. If you have any secret please share it.

Although this amount of back links impressive, I do not really like the idea of commenting on other people’s blogs just because one needs to increase the number of back links.Comments on other people’s blogs should be motivated by the desire to exchange ideas, provoke more thinking and develop one another’s understanding of issues.Commenting for the sake of increasing the number of back links is tantamount to spamming and it must be discouraged at all costs.
Actually, it is important for a blogger to concentrate on building their own turf first before moving out to comment on other people’s blogs. If a blogger writes excellent content, back links will come naturally.
Finally, relying on the existence of the top commenters widget on other people’s blogs for back links is equally not a good idea because it is so dynamic as it depends on your activity.In the long run, one would become a comment slave simply because he wants his blog’s link to feature on many domains.
It’s plenty backlink. And congratulations on such an impressive number of backlinks!
excellent article! A+
I just wanted to add that Google has very slowly stopped counting many types of links without really telling anyone. For example, check your “similar links” in Google serps (look up your site using “link:”) and you won’t see any internal links from the similar links sections. Webmaster tools still shows them but regular search results don’t anymore.
The BEST kind of links are the ones that exist on the page when it is first published OR the kind that are still there 6 months down the road – trust me, I’ve done my homework on this.
Great job and great blog Atniz.

Hi Nihar,
I’m using Top Commentators widget from http://webgrrrl.net/
It gives you the option to show your widget on main page or all over.
Hope this helps.
Thats an awesome stat. Hey, one quick question. in my blog top commentator list is shown on all pages. Does that affect my PR . I heard that google is not happy from those who give the same links from every page.
How did you manage to show the top commentators list on ly on your home page. Let me know…
Interesting thought, never occurred to me that way, it also contributes to technorati authority as well. maybe i should try this technique.
