Top 15 Questions about Fast Blog Finder

In this post we summarized the most frequently questions asked by Fast Blog Finder users and our answers to them. At the same time we give useful tips and recommendations on how to get the most out of the program.

1. Why are most of the blogs the program finds irrelevant to my search term?

Fast Blog Finder uses search engines (Google and Yahoo) to find blogs. Although you think that the posts are irrelevant, a search engine considered them as relevant to your search query. Your keywords can be not only in the article but in URLs on the page, or in the comments section.

To get more relevant results:

1. Go to Tools -> Settings and set 5 pages to fetch from search engine. Click OK.

2. Put your search phrase in quotes. And using this cheat sheet you can try different search queries in Fast Blog Finder to improve or refine your search results.

3. Select the Top 10 Results from the Start menu when you start the search. You will get less blogs in the result but those blogs will be the most relevant ones for your keywords.

Watch this video to learn how to get blogs which match your niche best. And remember that a link is a link. Even if you get a link from a blog that is not very relevant to your niche, it's better than not link at all.

2.  Can Fast Blog Finder run a few searches at the same time?

No, it's not possible. Fast Blog Finder imitates a human search. It cannot search for more than one keyword phrase at the same time. Nor does it return hundreds of blogs within minutes. This is done to prevent the user's IP address from being blocked by search engines.

3. Is there a way to load my own blogs into Fast Blog Finder?

You can load your own blogs if you use Fast Blog Finder Gold edition. In the Free version this option is disabled. Watch this video to know how to load blogs into Fast Blog Finder.

4. How to add a single URL to the list?

Copy the URL, paste it into the field above the preview screen and click on "Add Link".

5. How to delete a blog from the list?

Select the URL and press Del on the keyboard.

6. Is there a way of blocking some blogs from showing in the results again?

To prevent specific blogs from showing in the results again, you can add them to the blacklist (available in the Gold edition only). Just click the right mouse button on the link and select the "Add Domain to Blacklist" option. The program will add the domain to the blacklist, and the blogs from this domain won’t show in the results for future searches.

Or, you can click on the "View Blacklist" button on the toolbar and type the domains to the blacklist manually.

7. Is there a way to have unique results for each search? I don't need to see the same pages coming up every time I search similar keywords.

You can exclude duplicate posts between different searches. Go to Tools -> Settings and check the "Skip duplicate posts between different search queries" option (available in the Gold edition only). Click OK.

8.  Is it possible to open multiple pages in different tabs simultaneously instead of waiting for each website to load?

Yes, it's possible. Just hold down CTRL on the keyboard and click the mouse on the links you want to open. Each page will open in a separate tab in the preview panel so when you finish posting the comment on the first blog, the next blogs are already loaded and waiting for you.

9. What do I type as "Name"? Do I need to enter my real name, or a nick, or my keywords? What is better?

Before posting a comment look at other people's comments and see what names they used. If others used only their nicknames without keywords, you will do the right thing to follow this rule. Probably the blog admin doesn't allow the use of keywords in the names for comments. Or, maybe you could enter your name as "John from mobile phones" or "John – mobile phones" or the like. Or, if someone used only the keywords and the comment was approved, you may think about doing the same.

10. Can Fast Blog Finder automatically fill in the comment form?

To pre-fill the comment form, you can use the AutoFill option in Fast Blog Finder.  You can create different profiles for different niches and choose the desired profile from the AutoFill menu.

11. On some blogs I get a blank screen after submitting a comment. Was the comment sent to a moderator?

This is related to the blog theme where you submit a comment. If the theme is not properly configured, you may see a blank page after clicking the "Submit" button.

Fast Blog Finder uses the Internet Explorer engine to open the pages in the Preview pane. If the submission in Fast Blog Finder was unsuccessful and you got a blank screen, copy the post URL, open it in any other browser, for example, Mozilla Firefox, and try to submit a comment. If you still get nothing, so the blog theme is not correctly configured. Just skip this blog because you can do nothing about it.

12. While the program does find lots of blogs, most of them do not post my comment. Why?

It seems blog moderators consider your comments to be irrelevant to the post subject or think you submit a comment to get a link back only. You should look at other comments on the blog first to understand what kind of comments are approved. Pay attention to the names of other commentators. If you see they use names without keywords, do the same because the blog moderator may not allow comments with keywords in the name field. So, look at what others do and do the same. For more information read The Art of Blog Commenting

And the second reason why your comments are not approved may be that you submit comments to high PR blogs only. High PR blogs get a huge amount of spam so webmasters moderate comments like crazy on those blogs. Your comment must be really valuable and worth-while to be approved. So, don't limit yourself to high PR blogs only. Find relevant blogs with a lower PR and submit comments to them. There is a great chance your comment will be approved and you'll get a good back link.

13. Is there a way to tell the program to search for "DoFollow" blogs only?

No, there is no way to tell the program to return only DoFollow blogs. You'll see the blogs of all types – DoFollow, NoFollow, MIXED, and Unknown – among the search results. After the search is complete, you can filter the blogs by type and separate only DoFollow blogs. To filter the blogs, click a down arrow in the Type field heading and select DoFollow.

14. Why are some blogs shown as "Unknown"?

If the blog remains as Unknown, it's impossible to determine its type because it has no comments or no links in comments. You will know if the blog is DoFollow or NoFollow only after at least one comment (maybe yours) is approved.

15. After checking for comments the program puts a red face for some posts, but my comment was there and approved. What happens?

A red face in the Approved column means that the comment is approved and has a NoFollow tag. A green icon means the comment is approved and has a DoFollow tag. A yellow face in the status bar shows the total of approved comments within the current list.

If the comment is not yet approved, you will see no icon in the Approved column.

If you have any questions about Fast Blog Finder that are not answered here, ask them in comments below the post. I'd be glad to reply.

I’ve recently been looking through my Google Alerts for any new stories about link building and came across an article that took my attention. The author is talking about Google Notebook pages.

What is interesting is that all public Google Notebook pages are indexed. So, it seems we have one more link building opportunity. Arjan Snaterse did a test to see whether Google really values those links.

Well, inspired by Arjan’s story, I decided to do my own research in this area and scrutinize the case myself.

Fast Blog Finder Gold Edition Beats Free Version
by a Whopping 500% Increase in Do-Follow Back-Links!
See the amazing results of our TEST below…

I sometimes hear people saying on the forums how easy it is to find DoFollow blogs manually by using Google blog search. But what they don’t know yet is how many hours, programs like Fast Blog Finder can save them, and more importantly – enable them to get direct traffic and do-follow back links to ANY site of your choice. How much time is one spending on average to find, let's say, a hundred of DoFollow blogs?

Stop the guess work! I did a recent test to demonstrate how Fast Blog Finder can make your life easier, save you countless hours of time, effort and energy so you can decide for yourself if this is the right “weapon” in your marketing arsenal, or not.

The keyword phrase I used for my comparative test is "make money online".

How many blogs does the Free version discover for you?

Although the Free version of Fast Blog Finder is very limited in features, it is worth giving a try; just experience its power before you decide for the GOLD version which unlocks the full benefits of blog commenting and back-link generation.

Because we want ONLY our best and most responsive clients use this tool we limited the Free version as following:

- Returns only 50 blogs for each search (mostly NoFollow);
- "Load Blog List" option disabled;
- Domain blacklist disabled;
- "Skip duplicate posts between different search queries" option disabled;
- "Skip blogs where you must login or register to post comments" option disabled.

However, per our test, I got these results for the "make money online" key term:

DoFollow – 13
NoFollow – 24
MIXED – 6
Unknown – 6
HTTP error – 1

Click here to upgrade to the Gold edition now

So, in the Free version there are 13 DoFollow blogs to leave comments on in the first place. And I can sort 24 NoFollow blogs by the Domain PR and Page PR and comment on the blogs with higher domain and page PR hoping to get a little more human traffic to my website.

Hint: To sort the blogs by more than one column, hold down Shift on the keyboard and click on the column heading.  

In addition, I have 6 blogs of the MIXED type. There is a mix of DoFollow and NoFollow links in comments on the blog. You can find the very best blogs for commenting among MIXED blogs. Some blogs of the MIXED type are set so that the commentator gets a DoFollow link after minimum 5 or 10 approved comments. So, only a few get the DoFollow link what makes those links extra valuable.

Hint: Did you notice the drop down menu in the Start button that allows you choose Top 10 Results, Top 20 Results or Top 50 Results? Using this menu you can limit the program to process only 10, 20 or 50 links from each search request in order to get the most relevant blogs for your keywords. Fast Blog Finder sends several requests to search engines for one keyword set and by default scans 100 links per page returned by the search engine. So, if you want to speed up the search process and get the most relevant results, choose Top 10, 20 or 50 results. For example, if you select Top 10 Results and run a search, you'll get approximately 50-60 blogs for your keywords.

How many blogs does the Gold version retrieve for you?

Are you ready to see what the Gold edition can do for us? This version is guaranteed to save you countless hours of your time, effort and energy. Forget about manual blog research. Let our tool do its magic in the background while you work on your business, or spend time with your family.

It is like an instant jump in the pros league!

The Gold edition of Fast Blog Finder has no limitations on the quantity of blogs it returns. It will show you all the blogs that the search engine returns for your keywords.

Plus, you can indicate yourself the quantity of pages to fetch from the search engine. I used the default parameter – 3 pages.

Well, for my test keywords "make money online" keyword test the Gold version returned 2440 blogs where:

DoFollow – 674
NoFollow – 1375
MIXED – 275
Unknown – 98
HTTP error  – 18

Here is the visual proof.

Click here to upgrade to the Gold edition now

Can you see the difference now? I have 674 DoFollow blogs in the Gold edition against 13 DoFollow blogs in the Free version. It is like I’m getting 50x times more blogs, in an instant!

Plus, I have 1375 NoFollow blogs in the Gold edition. Those which have higher PR are worth to comment on too. Imagine the possibilities!

And 275 MIXED blogs in the Gold edition against 6 MIXED blogs returned by the Free edition is a marked difference.

As to Unknown blogs, if the blog doesn't have any comments on the latest 10 posts, Fast Blog Finder classifies it as Unknown. In most cases these are abandoned, not supported anymore or simply crappy blogs. But sometimes you'll get lucky and find a few gems among Unknown blogs. So, you'll see whether the blog is DoFollow or NoFollow only after your comment is posted on the blog.

But that’s not all! Here comes the best part:

Fast Blog Finder Gold edition provides you with a couple of additional features that are disabled in the Free version…when you upgrade to GOLD you’ll be instantly able to… 

• Exclude duplicate posts between different searches. If you run multiples searches for similar keywords and do not want the same posts to show in multiple lists, just go to the program settings and check the "Skip duplicate posts between different search queries" option. This way you'll get unique results for each search query, without manual work!
• Exclude blogs where you must login or register from the search results. Some blogs require that you create an account or login to your existing account to be able to post comments. If you don't want to do this, just check the "Skip blogs where you must login or register to post comments" in Fast Blog Finder Settings. Big time saver!
• Add domains to the blacklist to exclude them from the search results. If you found any crappy blogs, you can add the domains to the blacklist and Fast Blog Finder will not show those blogs anymore. The domains are saved to a text file. You can open the text file (blacklist) and edit/delete the domains. It is a fun way to “manipulate” Google results!
• And what's even more important is that you can import your own list of blogs using Fast Blog Finder Gold edition, determine the blog type and post comments on those blogs.

We found through extensive research and testing that none of our competitors offer the same highly sought-after benefits and features as Fast Blog Find GOLD version does!

The version 3 of Fast Blog Finder has a couple of new options and features that can definitely help you improve the search results and make your use of the program more effective. In this post I'll examine each new feature more closely.

Finds More Blogs and Determines Blog Type More Accurately

Fast Blog Finder v3 has a new engine which recognizes new blog platforms and finds much more blogs than the previous version. See Fast Blog Finder v2.6 vs. v3.0: Live Test. When developing the v3.0 we spent many hours for manually verifying hundreds of blogs to ensure that the program determined the blog type correctly. And it's fair to say that Fast Blog Finder v3 is 99% accurate in determining the blog type.

To find that 1% of incorrectly determined blogs, we added the "Report Wrong Blog Type" option to the program. Using this option you can send us the URL of the blog that was determined incorrectly by Fast Blog Finder. We'll check it out and make improvements in the program engine. When a new version of the checking engine is available, Fast Blog Finder will download it automatically when you open the program. You won't need to re-download and re-install the entire program. Fast Blog Finder will update the checking engine automatically every time a new version of it is available.

In addition, Fast Blog Finder v3 recognizes the new blog type – MIXED. These are blogs that have both DoFollow and NoFollow links in comments. Some blogs are set so that the commentator gets a DoFollow link after minimum 5 or 10 approved comments. So, there is a mix of DoFollow and NoFollow links in comments on the blog. The earlier versions of Fast Blog Finder classified blogs with DoFollow and NoFollow links in comments as NoFollow.

Returns Most Relevant Blogs for Your Keywords

By default Fast Blog Finder takes 3 pages with 100 links per page from the search engine and scans them for blogs. In the v3 you can limit the program to the top 10, 20 or 50 results from the search engine.

For example, if you select Top 10 Results from the Start menu, the program will scan the top 10 links returned by the search engine for your keywords. Since Fast Blog Finder v3 sends several requests with different footprints for your keywords, you will get approximately 50-60 blogs in the result. Using this option you can save your time for the search process and get the most relevant blogs for your keywords.

Automatically Fills in the Comment Form

With the new AutoFill option in the v3 you can fill in the comment form on the blog with two mouse clicks. Just create a profile with your name, email, URL and signature and click AutoFill when you want to submit a comment.

And what is nice is that you can create multiple profiles with different names, email addresses, links and signatures for different niches and choose the desired profile from the AutoFill menu when you want to post a comment. If you check the "Set as Default" option for the profile, the default profile is loaded automatically when you click on AutoFill button. If you want to choose any other profile, click a down arrow in the AutoFill button and choose the desired profile from the menu.

Checks Blogs for Approved Comments

A cool feature that saves your time greatly as you don't need to open each page and check if your comment is posted or not. Fast Blog Finder v3 will check it for you. All you need to do is:

1. Go to the program settings, click on My Domains tab and type the domains you used to post comments, for example:

domain1.com
domain2.com
domain3.com

2. Select the list where you want to check the blogs for your comments

3. Click on "Check my Comments" option on the toolbar and select the blogs (all or selected).

If your comment is approved and posted, you'll see either a green or red icon in the Approved field for the blog.

A green icon means that your comment is approved and has a DoFollow link inside. A red icon means the comment is posted with a NoFollow link inside.

And the Status bar will show you the total of approved comments.

Note: if you have more than one comment on the page and the links in the comments differ by type, the program will take the first link it finds and put the respective icon in the Approved column based on the first link type. For example, if the first link the program finds is DoFollow, you'll see a green icon in the Approved column.

Detects Domain PageRank and Page PageRank on Your Choice

The earlier versions of Fast Blog Finder detected PageRank automatically during the search process. Or, you could set the program to detect PageRank for DoFollow blogs only.

Fast Blog Finder v3 has the enhanced "Detect PageRank" option.

If you want to speed up the search process and avoid being blocked by Google, you can disable PageRank detection during the search. Or, you can enable the PageRank detection for DoFollow blogs only as before.

If you did not request PageRank during the search, you can do it after the search process is complete. You can select the blogs you like more and detect PageRank for selected blogs only. Or, you can run Fast Blog Finder to detect PageRank for all blogs.

Quickly Finds a Link Within the List

In the new 3 version of Fast Blog Finder we added a quick search option. If you need to find a link within the list, start typing the URL in the search field. The program will display the links that satisfy the search criteria.

This is also a quick way to filter the blogs and search for top level domain names (.gov, .edu, .net, .com, .org, etc.). Below the grid you will see how many blogs were found by your search criteria. To cancel the filter, click Clear.

Processes Multiple Blogs At a Time

Now you can define yourself how many blogs Fast Blog Finder will scan at a time to determine the blog type and PageRank. By default the program is set to process 15 blogs at a time. You can decrease or increase this value in the settings. Note that if you set more than 15 blogs, the program will work faster but you may get more HTTP errors. 15 blogs at a time is the optimal value.
 

Skips Blogs Where You Must Login or Register

There are some blogs where you must login or register before you can submit a comment. With Fast Blog Finder v3 you can exclude such blogs from the search results if you don't want to spend time for filling in the login/register form on the blog. Just go to the program settings and check the "Skip blogs where you must login or register to post comments" option.

Uses HTTP Proxy Server

Fast Blog Finder v3 can find a few times more blogs than the previous versions. Because of the increased quantity of blogs the version 3 operates with, the quantity of requests for PageRank grows too. Our test shows that Google allows about 2000 requests for PageRank from one IP address. After ~2000 requests Google blocks the IP address for a few hours and doesn't return the PageRank. The program continues searching for blogs but PageRank is not determined.

You can look at the indicator at the right bottom corner of Fast Blog Finder window. When it is green, Fast Blog Finder searches for blogs and determines PageRank. When the indicator becomes red, it tells you that the program stopped sending the requests for PageRank in order not to flood Google with useless requests. 

As a workaround, you can do the following:

1. Use a proxy server in Fast Blog Finder

Go to the Tools menu and click Settings.

Click on the Proxy tab in the Settings.

Here are the options you have:

Use HTTP Proxy Server to search for blogs, determine PR and browse blogs

If you check this option, you can use a HTTP proxy server to search for blogs, determine Domain PR, Page PR, and browse found blogs. Be sure to enter the proxy server, port, your user name and password for the proxy server (if required).

Use proxy server only for blog search and PR detection

If you check this option, the HTTP proxy server will be used to search for blogs and determine PR only. When you browse found blogs, the proxy server will not be used.

2. Disable PageRank detection during the search

Go to the Settings (General tab) and uncheck the "Detect Domain and Page RageRank" option. After the search is complete, you can select the blogs you like more and detect PageRank for selected blogs only using the Detect PageRank menu.
 

3. Set the program to determine PageRank for "DoFollow" blogs only

Go to the Settings (General tab), check the "Detect Domain and Page RageRank" option and then check the "Detect Domain and Page PR for DoFollow blogs only" option.

Note: if you need the PR for the blogs of all types, consider using a proxy server and change the proxy server when the indicator becomes red.

How to Get the Most Relevant Blogs with Fast Blog Finder

Links don't just improve your position in the search engines. They also provide another way for people visiting other sites to find you, thus increasing referring traffic.

It's better to have one good link than a hundred bad links. A good link is a link that brings you traffic. These links are from relevant pages that are related to your website with links coming back to your website and are some of the strongest links you can obtain.

Link relevancy is certainly a factor to bear in mind. If you obtain links with the correct anchor text from relevant sites within your industry, the link will provide a great deal of benefit in helping you increase your own rankings which means more traffic to your website, more visitors, and more sales.

Here are 3 quick tips you can follow to get the most relevant blogs to your keywords in Fast Blog Finder:

• Set 5 pages to fetch from search engines in Fast Blog Finder Settings.
• Put your search phrase in quotes.
• Select the "Top 10, 20 or 50 Results" from the Start menu.

I've been working as a self-employed online marketing and SEO consultant in Vienna for more than seven years.

Use this tool without "tricking" the blog owners!

Fast Blog Finder is 100% Spam-free, search engine friendly blog commenting software. It does not make automated comments on blogs and we believe such tools should be never sold or promoted.

Because most blog owners moderate the comments to prevent SPAM we suggest you avoid personal or affiliate links in your blog commenting activities. Your comment will end up being deleted. Leave a meaningful comment only after reading the blog post.

What does "nofollow" tag mean and why should you care?

Likewise email spam, blog spamming became a serious problem. To protect from blog spamming, many webmasters implement a "nofollow" link tag. It is supposed to provide webmasters with the opportunity to add a link to their website without leaking PageRank to the page they are linking to. So, even though you can enter your website URL when you leave comments, it won't be considered as a backlink.

But it doesn't mean at all that you should not post a comment on a blog with a "nofollow" tag. Although such a blog page doesn't leak you PR, you can still benefit from gaining a lot more traffic. A "nofollow" tag doesn't prevent search engine spiders from visiting your link and the blog readers can also follow your link if they find your comment useful.
