Great post!!!

And thanks for including my site in that PR list.

I hope your PR and my PR gets updated when google updates the PR in near future.

Though my blog has no PR, i dofollow, support top commentator and comment luv :D

Yan, great list of blog. I will definitely leave some comments on them because I do want also to get back my PR for the next update.

Hussein | Random Blog’s last blog post..Read SEOmoz and Rank Better

Thanks for the link love there. :)

Would like to add that I have an all time top commentator list as well as the standard monthly one. :D

Cheers!

Mentioning other blogs is a great way to bring readers too :-) Thank you for the mention.

I was checking my stats today and found that 78% of my visitors arrive via referral. Although pagerank is important commenting and being active within the blogging community is as important - probably more so for some niches.

Sueblimely’s last blog post..Aussie Bloggers Forums - Good Onya

@Sueblimely - You are absolutely right about it, without making a reference to your blog, I guess you would have discovered mine here.

Being a new kid on the block, I’m working real hard to create awareness of my blog by actively commenting on other blogs in similar niche and as for the PR thing, being in the top list definitely is a bonus for the effort.

By the way, thanks for dropping by and I hope you come here often and share your experience with all the readers here.

Cheers
Yan

@Deimos Tel`Arin & @Nihar: You are most welcome. You guys deserve it for having that PR.

@Hussein: Happy commenting and good luck, dude.

Thanks for mentioning my lifeiscolourful.com website, that poked me to check out your website. Nice site! Will visit again.

@Life is Colourful - You are most welcome and thanks for poking around..:-)

Hmmm. Never thought of this. Thanks for sharing. Will keep it in mind.

that is a pretty useful list you have there. And if you get that list inserted into comment sniper the results will be more than excelent ;)

Thanks for the list!!!! Yeah does anyone know when the next PR update should be?

DoFollow Blogs’s last blog post..Meeting Notes - July 16th 2008

I wrote an article back in Feb. about increasing Technorati authority with Top Commentator. To date, it is the most popular article on my blog.

However, since writing the article, the spam that has come about in an effort to attempt to get on to my Top Commentator list is so high that I couldn’t even begin to count. So with that, I’d like to stress what you already mentioned and say that ensure you really are leaving quality comments. Comments that are just the right number to get on the Top Commentator list and are short often get deleted.

Thank you for including me in your list, I think (here’s hoping it doesn’t create more spam)! ;o)

Katy Castro’s last blog post..Take Your Brand to the Highway

@Rajiv: You are welcome and please remember that spamming is strictly prohibited.

@Hugo: That would be a great idea if you have the program which unfortunately I don’t own one yet..;-(

@DB: I read it somewhere on another blog of which I couldn’t exactly remember, that mentioned about the imminent PR update and I guess we both are asking the same question.

@Katy Castro - I certainly understand your point and I’m in the belief that the site owner has every rights to moderate all spammy comments or decide not to have the plugin at all if the spams are getting out of control. The plugin is just an option and not a necessity.

I hope the same. If you think there is a need for me to take your site away from the list, please do let me know.

Cheers

Just a heads up, you might want to update that list because a bunch of them do not have top commentators pluging installed… figured I’d give you a heads up.

Jay

Jay’s last blog post..Utube, Yotube, Yutube, Youtude: Take Advantage of Misspelled Words

Thanks for the link Yan!

@Jay - Oh really, actually I double check on each of them before I put them all into the list whereas those on my bookmark is really outdated. I’ll do a triple check then.. Thanks for the heads up, Jay.

@David Shaw - You are most welcome, David. In fact, you give me more linky than I could have expected.

a couple of my entertainment blogs, and a resource blog of mine have pr3s and pr1s but I have never gotten around to setting up the top commentators widgets because I am in the middle of setting up themes for them.

I will let you know when they are ready to go :)

@EmmaB - I’ll be more than happy to include yours if it is of similar niche. The fact is there isn’t a point to build links from un-related sites as they don’t lend any value to the search engines.

Oh, they arent of a similiar niche. Hopefully UTOW gets some pr love next update so I can add it to the list :)

By the way, I was wondering which plugin were you using back on your old theme where the comment form had an image that said Fight Spam Not Blogs?

EmmaB’s last blog post..Upgrade Wordpress using Fantastico

pretty sweet list :D

narendra.s.v’s last blog post..Win Prizes Worth Over $600 and 500 EntreCards

@EmmaB - Oh that was not a plugin. I just modified and added the background image to the textarea on my theme, something that looks like this on your CSS

textarea {
background: url(images/nonofollow.gif) no-repeat bottom right;
}

I have sent you the image by email so go ahead apply it as I have seen some sites are following likewise..:-)

@narendra.s.v - Thanks for dropping by, dude. You got contest going on there? I’ll be checking it out soon. Oh I love contest….

Hi Yan!

You are really on to a good one here.

I have implemented this plugin on http://biznz.org PR0 Monetize your Site blog and also on my http://biznz.net/weblog/ PR2 Tutorials Blog.

This is a brilliant concept, ’cause we get to link to some really good sites and the links stay on the front page - Magic! We can pass on heaps of link luv with this one. Thank you!

@Rhys - I just thought I share something out of my own experience. There are a couple of blogs that I have stayed month after month and I intend to keep it that way for as long as I could.

Glad you find it useful and I’ll be adding your PR 2 blog in a while. Oh ya, don’t forget to stumble this post if you can…

Happy to see lot of comments flowing in for this post. I liked this post and concept very much…

@Nihar - Not possible without your participation and I thank you for that.

Hi yan, great list. You can also consider my blog TechSagar. It has a PR of 3. I am also using a Top commentors list.

@Pras - Hey, how could I miss yours when I’m on your list of top commentator… will be updating it once I finish with this response.

By the way, thanks for being here and hope you join us more often here and share something with my readers.

Yan, Thanks for your instant response. Yeah sure. I will try to share my thoughts with ‘thoushallblog’ readers on a regular basis.

Pras’s last blog post..Monitor your Adsense account with ease using a browser add-on

Hi Yan,

This is an excellent idea to list these great blogs to make it easier to look for them. Thanks! Oh by the way, my blog is PR3 and has the Top Commentators Plugin too.. Would you update your list. Thanks.

@Peter - Hey, thanks for the great comment. Your request is done.

If commenting on these blogs regularly will get me backlinks, i also have another advantage of reading them. These are really awesome blogs. I have subscribed to most of the blogs’ feeds.Great list!this is worth bookmarking!

@Ranjani - Welcome back and thank you. Oh ya, Ranjani, don’t forget that there is an upcoming contest with awesome prizes at the end of this month, be sure to participate. Till then…

Cool list Yan, very helpful. Though, I’m not sure if you know something that I don’t…as, I don’t believe I have any PR yet lol

I too just started a little over 3 months ago :)

JK Swopes’s last blog post..IMwithJoe flips out on moneybites.com and Market Leverage

@Joe - I can see a PR 1 for your blog on my Google toolbar so I assume it is correct.. you are pretty sure about it, Joe?

@Yan

I just don’t see it anywhere. My toolbar doesn’t show it, dnscoop doesn’t show it, nor does the Google PR checker tools.

But, maybe you can see it before me…was hoping for more than a 1, I have a pr 1 on one of my other sites that I don’t promote much at all…but, we’ll see!

JK Swopes’s last blog post..Non-cash cashflow and indirect profits. How much are you really making?

@Joe - I could have got it wrong but still I’ll leave it there since you are already expecting PR soon..:-). All the best, Joe..

@ Yan

well, I do give out the link love lol, I just started using a plugin called keyword luv, it allows you to link a keyword/phrase to your domain instead of just your name :)

Hi Yan!

Guess what! My http://biznz.org “Monetize Your Site” jumped to PR2 while we were posting about this. This amazed me because it skipped PR1 and went to PR2 in one hit - Whoopee!!!

Noticed something interesting about this, on XP with F/Fox, it doesn’t indicate the PR until all the widget stuff has finished loading, but with my new computer using IEx on Vista, the PR indicates immediately.

I even scored some internal PR with this page “Here’s a Quick Way to Rocket Your Site to No 1 in Google”, now ranking at PR1.

So all this careful attention to link quality and placement has paid off big-time.

I have Stumbled this article for you and I have included your name among the ‘greats’ in this article
http://biznz.org/monetize-your-site/now-you-can-have-a-top-money-making-blog/

:-)

Rhys’s last blog post..Now You Can Have a Top Money Making Blog

@DoFollow Blogs - It looks like the big G is updating PR in a couple of days and expiring some older penalties on websites.

@Rhys - Congrats on the new PR. I’m happy and proud of you. It shows that it’s possible when the right SEO is done. I’m still waiting for mine…

Oh ya, thanks for the stumble and the linky. It’s great to be included amongst the bigger names.

@Yan, lol i noticed several of my favorite new sites (Under few months old blogs) had gotten pr so i came to see if yours did. Sure enough you have a nice pr of 3. Congrats

UTOW is now showing a pr of two as well. Hoorah to all of us!

EmmaB’s last blog post..Upgrade Wordpress using Fantastico

By the way, the main page of the blog looks broken. The sidebar keeps sliding below the comments and the content shifts to the side.

(you dont need to approve this comment, just delete it just wanted to let you know)

EmmaB’s last blog post..Who all got green google juice?

Congrats sir! That big fat PR 3 feels good don’t it? But, I think you’re missing one of your fan favorites on that list of yours… :-)

Piss Biscuit’s last blog post..When Clients go bad

I have been concentrating on other forms of SEO and haven’t looked into blog commentating. After reading some of your posts i think it is something that i will put more effort into. Your list of blogs will make the job alot easier, thanks.

Jason

@EmmaB - Hey, congrats! I’m so happy for you too and you are now officially on the list. Keep up the good work, Emma.

@Piss Biscuit - You got it as well, huh? and the best part of it is that you achieve it in 7 weeks as always the PB-style.

By the way, the list above is a collection of blogs with Top Commentator plugin in place so the next time you have it on your blog, do let me know and I’ll make room for you. How could I have missed you in the first place?

@Jason - Thanks for the great comment. It’s so true that blog commenting is one of the most effective link building and networking with other fellow bloggers.

I guess this is the first time you are here and I do hope that you will join us more often here and share your experience with the readers. So welcome to thoushallblog.com. It’s always my pleasure to have you around.

Yan

OpTempo is a PR4 and I use Top Commentator as well. I also allow you to use almost any anchor text you want so you don’t have to use just your name.

I’m also looking at using other dofollow plugins there in the next few weeks, probably one that turns on dofollow after 5 approved comments.

Oh, and congrats on your PR3.

Frank C’s last blog post..Some Links - Blogroll Edition

@Frank C - By the time you check back here, your blog would have been added to the list. Thanks, I’m glad all the hard work is paying off and it took me a while to realize that I actually did it.

Hey Yan,
Congratulations on your PR3. Now you’re the new kid on the block who may have gotten PR3 in record time of 3 months. Well done!

Peter Lee
Work From Home Business Blog

@Peter - Thank you for kind words and yes, I did it in 3 months but it wasn’t the record. A friend of mine, PB from Piss Biscuit did it in 7 weeks. That’s worth a mention.

I would like to congratulate you for having a PR3. It’s a great achievement for a 3 months old blog.

Hussein | Random Blog’s last blog post..PR Update, Prediction is True

@Hussein | Random Blog - Thank you for the nice compliment and your support as well. It could happen to anyone including yourself..

1.) Damn it Yan! Now I’ve gotta go install another fricken plugin!
2.) The home page is kind of acting crazy on ya.
3.) I think you sleep as often as I do… never!

Piss Biscuit’s last blog post..PB earns a PR3 in 7 weeks!

@Piss Biscuit -

1. I’m sure you will and it’s not that scary at all. It’s a win-win thing for your site and your readers in particular.

2. I always have the best view on Mac platform. What’s the problem, PB? The last time I had IE on me was like 10 years ago so I couldn’t really check on it. I’ll appreciate your help.

3. Keeping the passion alive, PB but I do sleep, albeit in less hours. Young man like us sleep less, you know that? :-)

Cheers, buddy…

Great Job Yan…..you got that PR 3 going on! Good stuff man, keep it up, I hope to join you next time. Well, actually I don’t, I hope you keep going up and I can get up to the 3’s….

JK Swopes’s last blog post..How do you know you got a Google page rank update

Alright… I use both IE and FireFox. Here is how your home page appears in both…

Sleep? What’s sleep? LOL. We won’t be young for long my friend!

Piss Biscuit’s last blog post..PB earns a PR3 in 7 weeks!

Oh and I think it’s about time for a new post too! ;-) I’m ready for another killer!!!

Piss Biscuit’s last blog post..PB earns a PR3 in 7 weeks!

@Joe - Thanks, pal. Remember I saw a PR 1 ahead of you…I’m sure will get that on the next update looking at the rate you are going. You are practically everywhere as I keep seeing your name popping out..

@Piss Biscuit - I use IE NetRenderer to check on my design and it was OK. Has it all been like that right from the very beginning or just today, may I ask? It looks like I;m now at a loss of what to do looking at the mess….

@ Yan: Well… net render must be drinking a little to much these days! LOL. Umm it started a few days ago. I think you were doing something with the layout at the time. If my mind serves me correctly, it all started shortly after you added the featured post image. I could be wrong though.

I took a look at your code and it looks like there might be an issue with the width set on something like line 451 in your style.css file.

It looks as if the total width of the page is a maximum of 916px. However, your content area is set at 852px. If you do some quick math, those “latest” areas are all set at 250px. You’ve got three. That means your style sheet is trying to force 1500px into a 852px box. needless to say it won’t fit so the browser auto drops the content until it does fit.

Try messing with the width attribute. As for Macs… I love them. In fact I love to design on them. But ANYONE who builds websites or tangles with code, will agree, that Macs always insert some nonsense that creates a mess in 90% of non Mac browsers. Yeh… a night mare. Anyway here is your code… I think its on line 451.

.latest li
display:inline;
float:left;
height:auto;
margin:24px 0 0 40px;
padding:0;
width:250px;

Piss Biscuit’s last blog post..PB earns a PR3 in 7 weeks!

Okay so my typo makes me look dumb… LMAO!!! 1500px… I’ must be the drunk one!

The missing parts to the note above…

You’ve got padding set a 15px and margins set at 24px and 40px. The complicated math says the total squeeze is 1500px… not that you have it set at 1500px. Sorry for the lack of accurate explanation on the first go round. :-)

Piss Biscuit’s last blog post..PB earns a PR3 in 7 weeks!

@Piss Biscuit - Now I’m more confused than ever before and if I remember it correctly I didn’t mess or change any of this code at all. In fact, I completely put my trust in the code since I’m purchasing a premium theme, the developer should have looked at this issue earlier.

I guess the problem started when I add an adsense to my sidebar a few days ago but after a quick check on my neighbor’s PC, everything looks perfectly fine. What IE version do you use, PB? You know it’s kind of weird that I’m not seeing what you are seeing.

It’s nice of you to check on it and I really appreciate you take the time to explore and explain to me but I dare not change any of the code lest I mess it up further. The fact is I’m not a coder and I know little about CSS.
