Everyone knows that the more related backlinks you have, the better. These boost your pagerank- and if the anchor text you use include relevant words, the Search Engines will rank you higher.

Enter CommentSniper (commentsniper.com). It’s a free application that updates you on blogs relevant to your industry and lets you know when a new post is made so you can make a comment- and leave a backlink!

I downloaded it and loved it. From first usage I found that it runs in the background, constantly scanning blogs that can boost your ranking. When it detects a new post, it lets you know so you can be the first to comment.

Why’s this important? The first commentor often receives the lion’s share of Pagerank (the other commentors spill onto secondary and tertiary pages with zero PR) as well as clickthrus from the blog’s readers.

You want it.

Now.

Did I mention it’s free?
