Grab My Free Blog Commenting Tool… Real Link Finder
I’m really excited to announce the launch of my “Real Link Finder” software.
It finds “on topic” blog posts where you can make comments and leave “Real” links back to your website… links that counts for link popularity and PageRank.
The reason I call it “Next Generation” is that the software only returns blog posts that already have comments but don’t use “nofollow”.
(”Nofollow” means that any links you leave in comments at the blog won’t pass PageRank. By searching for blog posts that already have comments, and then throwing out the ones that use “nofollow”, Real Link Finder gives you cleaner results than other blog commenting software)
More links = Better search engine rankings = More traffic for you!
And the best part? It’s 100% free. No strings. No painful signup process.

Thank you for handing out this blog finding tool!
This far I’ve only used it for one day, but I have already made about ten comments on related blogs.
It’s definitely a tool I will use on a daily basis.
Since I don’t have to spend time searching for blogs, writing the comments is well invested time with high return when considering the backlinks I get for my sites.
I will definitely recommend this tool on my site.
February 10th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Thank you very much Neal,
A great tool, at a great time for me also. I’ve been working on my link building and thinking how to use blogs to my advantage, but with the nofollow, It seemed like a guessing game.
Now I’m not wasting my time.
Thanks again. >>>>>>>Great marketing on your part also
February 10th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Thanks for the great feedback, Thomas and Tony.
Neil.
February 10th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Neil,
Thank you for the software. A few moments ago I was just enjoying giving it a spin. A couple of suggestions–first, it might be nice if blog page rank were also a search parameter, and second, if we had the option of allowing blogs with “nofollow” in their comments links.
Thank you again for the tool!
February 10th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Thanks for a very useful tool, Neil. Agree with the comment above. It would be nice to see the page rank of the blog.
February 10th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
I see I need to add this to the FAQ..
I’ll look into PageRank more, but I’m not sure it’s feasible or within Google’s ToS. If I did include it, I’m not sure it would work for long.
Adding a nofollow “toggle” is a good idea, thanks Evan.
Neil.
February 10th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Thank you Neil for making your software available. I have downloaded it and will give it a spin.
I’m curious as to how your software differs from the Comment Kahuna product?
Regards,
Doug
February 10th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Hi Doug,
If I remember correctly, Comment Kahuna doesn’t search specifically for blog posts with *existing comments*, so I believe Real Link Finder’s results are much more accurate because “nofollow” is most likely to be used in the links people leave in blog comments.
Initially I don’t think Comment Kahuna even checked for nofollow. In their demo movie they show a PageRank 6 result, “hairloss.about.com”, but they use nofollow.
Oh, and I think RLF is also easier to use… and it highlights the keywords you searched for on the blog post in the preview pane… so you don’t have to read the whole blog post to see where they mention your keywords.
Neil.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:03 am
Thanks for the quick response Neil. That’s a good point about where your software looks to find for the nofollow attribute (i.e. in the comments section of the post page vs in the body of the post). That is a significant distinction.
Now that I’ve had a chance to use your software, I also like how you allow the query to search for results containing a varying number of comments ranging from 1 to 5. That really helps to hone in on blogs that are likely to be the most relevant for your search. Good job.
February 11th, 2008 at 12:59 am
Neil, thank you for giving away such a valuable software. I really like how it finds the blogs not using no-follow so quickly.
I can see this having a positive effect in my link building. Real Link Finder works great.
I also have Comment Kahuna but I think I’ll be using yours from now on.
Thanks again,
Chuck
February 11th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Sweet! That’s a great endorsement. Thanks Chuck!
Neil.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Hi Neil,
Thanks for creating such a great tool.
I understand it only works on PCs, is that right?
Any chance of getting it to work for Mac users…?
That sure would be real nice…
Thanks again
Martin
February 11th, 2008 at 10:57 am
First, thanks very much for publishing this tool for free!
Second, a suggestion and/or question: would it be possible to change the option for how many existing comments RLF looks for to a range, i.e. making the number I select not the *exact* number of comments RLF looks for, but rather the minimum? Or does it already work that way and I just don’t get it?
Thanks again
Tom
February 11th, 2008 at 11:11 am
@ Martin… the Windows version cost me about $3,000. I don’t think I’ll be requestion a Mac version, sorry!
@Tom… that’s a good idea. I’ll see if we can code it. At the moment it searches for the number you request.
Neil.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Hi Neil,
My first experience was that I loved the concept but saw no real results – in my choice of keywords.
I chose just the one comment, but would rather not place a restriction on this.
Surely just a case if there are comments good and if not, only add yours if a very new post.
Otherwise all I got was a 2006 post to comment on…..
February 11th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Neil-
What a great concept. . . a client I work with, http://www.candyconceptsinc.com, and I are always looking for new and innovative ways to work the SEO game. This looks like a real winner! I’m excited to try it out and harness the power
A very informative movie, a great product at a great price. . . perfect!
Thank you so much for your hard work and your investment into the cause.
Take care,
Kyla
February 11th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
@ Noel, you may want to try more generic keywords.
@ Kyla, you’re welcome!
Neil.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I was very disappointed with the results that came up, even when I asked for just one comment and to search 100 blogs. One of my websites is on dog training and when I asked to search 100 blogs with one comment, only 4 of the 13 results actually were on dog training. The others had the word dog or the word training somewhere on the page.
Then I tried retire in Mexico with equally disappointing results.
I tried “dog training” with quotes and got no results.
Back to Comment Kahuna, at least for now. Wish you well.
February 11th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Hi Neil-
I still have not received my unlock key though it’s been about an hour or so. . . I resubmitted my email a couple of times. . . hmm. . it would be great if you can remedy this.
Take care,
Kyla
February 11th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
@ Kyla, I’ve emailed you your key.
@ Rosana thanks for your feedback. We may have to permit boosting the number of blogs you can search through to above 100 to get more data. Let me check into it.
By the way, I searched for “dog training” in quotes, requesting 100 blogs with 2 comments and got 8 results.
Neil.
February 11th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Thanks, Neil. I just repeated your search exactly and got ONE blog. It was a good one, though, and I got sidetracked reading some great content.
I wonder if the difference in our results could have anything to do with your being in the UK and my currently living in Mexico. Firefox is my default browser, but I doubt that would be pertinent.
BTW, when I find a blog, sometimes there is another post that I would rather respond to (whether or not it has comments), and is it reasonable to assume that in virtually all cases that will yield me as good a link?
Best,
Rosana
February 11th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Hi Rosana,
Hmm, it may be a geo-specific thing, I’m not sure.
Yes, if a blog with comments (and links in the comments) is returned by Real Link Finder, you can assume that the other posts on the blog will be “nofollow-free” too. It doesn’t matter if the other posts have existing comments or not.
HTH
Neil.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Hi Neil
Downloaded the Real Links Software and whilst it’s not brilliant at finding huge amounts of of blogs, it’s free (we love free) and it will be a useful tool to use alongside others.
As an example, my website is (I hope) optimised for internet home based business idea so I used the keyword “home business” and it reuturned about 5 blogs when searching for 100.
Not over the top but they looked to be good quality and I’ll see how I get on with links.
However – the big selling point is the software IS free so I’ll make the best use of it I can
Thanks
February 11th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Thanks for the feedback, Geoffrey. Even free software has a price.. the time taken to install and configure it. I’m glad you’re happy with the price.
Neil.
February 12th, 2008 at 12:02 am
Wow! This is useful. This is worth a bank full of money.
And it’s FUN! Another stellar gift. Thank-you!
February 12th, 2008 at 12:58 am
The tool doesn’t work, I posted to 4 blogs, and I got nofollow links.
[editor: Niko, you most likely won't get instant links back... the blog will most likely be moderated.]
February 12th, 2008 at 1:40 am
Neil,
great software but I have one question? Why isn’t your baby in the video.
[editor: Because he's 7, and he won't sit still long enough!]

Hi pals,

February 12th, 2008 at 7:55 am
Hey Neil,
As I was reading this post, I thought to myself, “Ok, how much is this going to cost?” I was pleasantly surprised that it costs nothing. I am going to try this out right now. Thanks a lot!
February 12th, 2008 at 9:01 am
You’re welcome.
Neil.
February 12th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Hi Neil,
This is a great software and I am going to use it. I will recommend it to my friends.
best regards

Neil – You said that if we posted here, we could find out how to co-brand this freebie so it can be given away on our own website. Could you please tell me how to do this? I work with a lot of bloggers and think this would be a valuable tool for them.
Thanks!

Hey Neil!
Thanks for a great piece of software!
One thing I’d like to see from a layout perspective is to see all the “fields” be on the left hand side (as opposed to on top), and then a bigger browser window on the right, so I can see the page easier.
(I did a little mock-up to show you what I mean: http://www.TheMagicOfTesting.com/reallinkfinder.jpg)
Can this be done? That’s the only improvement I can think of at the moment (at least it would help me…)
Thanks for a great software – and for making it free!

I feel like I just stepped off the Space Mountain at Disney. My head is spinning from the combination of a strange website, a program that is totally confusing, with a commentary that is so rapid, and the speaker who drops every T in a word containing a T that makes translation into real English very difficult. So I’m going to move on and pretend that I was never here.
I think that’s a bi- be-er than toast and bu-er.
February 12th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Hello,
This software has a very ill-mannered installer.
When I install software, I expect to be ASKED:
1. Where I wish to install the app,
2. IF I wish to have a desktop icon,
3. IF I wish to have a Start Menu Group, and
4. If I DO wish a Start Menu group, WHAT to NAME that group.
I intensely dislike the high-handedness of “we made the software, we know how we want to put it on your computer.” This kind of thing is a Microsl** trademark, not what I expect from people who know how to program.
No. No. No.
It’s MY computer, MY tool, and I do NOT appreciate installers just coming in and changing my setup without so much as a by your leave.
These questions are particularly important under Vista, because Vista makes the changes that might take a few seconds under XP drag out to as much as half an hour.
Ask me:
1. Where do you want me to put this app? It does ask this.
2. Do you want a desktop icon? It does not ask.
3. Do you want a Start Menu group? It does not ask.
4. If you want a Start Menu group, what shall I name it? It does not ask.
VERY ill-mannered installer. Next time, please ASK the user these important questions instead of blithely putting things that are not wanted on, and putting things that are wanted in the wrong places with the wrong names.
Thank you in advance for your attention to these important matters.
Warm regards,
(Ms.) Marty Nicholas
February 12th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
@ Jonathan… Good idea. I think it would work best on widescreen monitors. You can currently resize the app to fit your monitor by maximizing it.
@ William. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Honestly. I’m English, I pronounce my “t’s”. Am I missing something?
@ Marty. You’re right, the installer should ask you those things. However, the more things the installer asks, the less likely people are to install the software. I thought simplicity was best.
Neil.
February 12th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Neil;
I thank you for giving away such a valuable software. One of the most important point , in my mind, is to find blogs with a no-follow tag.
I can see this software being a real plus in my quest for effective links.
Like most I also have Comment Kahuna however your software has many mor options which makes it my 1st choice in blog linkbuilding.
Keep up the good work!
February 12th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Neil,
This is a great find. Thanks!
What do you think about putting keywords you want to rank for in the Name box (instead of your name) to help the SEO progress along?
Ted
February 13th, 2008 at 3:47 am
Thanks for the great software. I have been looking for something like this. I’ll be checking to see what else you’ve been up to on your blog (and bookmarking it).
February 13th, 2008 at 5:35 am
Hi
I do like to use the software, but…
It don’t accept the key. There is also not an unlock.dat file in the installation directory, so I can’t do anything. I’ve .net v2.0 installed on my windows system.
As per suggestions: I think it would be very helpful to inform about the page rank for each blog. Why waste the time with non-performing blogs?
Otherwise, your software seems to be a good idea.
Kind regards
Rainer
February 13th, 2008 at 5:38 am
Hi Neil,
Great FREE software. Love to see it expanded to a paid version and be competitive with some of the commercial products out there. I love the auto-fill feature, and the number of comments to search. I think it would be nice to show nofollow and follow blogs, as some people may want to post on those as well, as high traffic blogs could generate free relevant traffic and links too.
February 13th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Sorry mate
bunch of crap so far –
You can see I’m in pianos…
And I’m not looking for faults –
but
as keywords, I have tried variously:
“piano”
“pianos”
“piano lessons”
“piano music”
“buying a piano”
and then
“piano tuning”
“baby grand piano”
set for 100 blogs
tried 5 “existing blog comments” then 3 then 1
and result was SAME SIX SITES for first 5 keywords
NIL for piano tuning
NIL for baby grand piano (….oh really ???)
and finally some obscure girly thingy – for whatever I tried next but can’t recall – cos there’s no autofill for all the previous keywords to be retried – you gotta type em all in again, hmmm
Anyhow -
Got my hopes up -
but didn’t accomplish much at all
sorry……..
back to adwords
February 13th, 2008 at 9:19 am
@ Rick, thanks for your kind words.
@ Ted, I doubt there’s much SEO benefit in it to be honest. I think the blog moderator is going to be less likely to approve your comment, which outweighs the SEO benefits… especially if you take the time to write a valuable comment, as I suggest. Why risk getting it rejected?
@ Vitallywell, you’re welcome.
@ Ranier, one other person has reported this. Could you please send me full details of your operating system and anything else you think is relevant to admin AT realinkfinder.com?
@ Steve, I’ll be looking into creating a “toggle” for follow/nofollow. Thanks for the suggestion.
@ Ozpianoman, how many on-topic blogs with existing comments that don’t use nofollow were you expecting for “baby grand piano”? I say in the quickstart tips to “Pick a common/generic keyword”.
February 13th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Neil, what a great man you are.
It’s an amazing software, thank you very much.
Grab useful links is an amazing way to increse traffic & popularity.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Hi Neil,
I just downloaded the software and gave it a try, twice, it didnt get back many results for my keywords – 4 in fact (technorati gets hundreds for the same words – well 189) and a quick skim of the pages returned shows that they are not relevant, whilst a skim of the technorati results found more sites immediatly that were relevant to post to. This could simply be my choices…
Thanks Neil,
cheers
Pete
February 13th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Pete, the software only currently searches for Wordpress blogs, so, naturally, technorati will have more results. I’m not sure why the results you found weren’t relevant though… presumably they matched your keywords.
Neil.
February 13th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Hi Neil,
Thanks for your prompt reply. The wordpress bit explains somewhat the difference in quantity. There are a lot of Oracle blogs which is what i was loking for on Oracles own blog site and a lot more on blogspot, blogger etc.
Yes of course the words were there but not in context of what i wanted. For instance one was a blog about about SQL Server but it happened to mention Oracle.
Thanks

@ Marty – CHILL OUT! He’s giving you free software. You can make a suggestion, but don’t be nasty about it, as you have been.
@ Neil – I am on a widescreen monitor – I have maximized it, but I end up staring at the bottom of my screen to use it, which wouldn’t be a challenge if my workspace was a little more ergonomic… anyway… was just a thought.
Thanks again for great software!

February 13th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Hi Neil,
I like this software. It’s hard to wade through the ocean of blogs and find the ones that are similar to yours. This really helps me with that task. Of course as you would expect I do have some questions. Why is it limited to searching 100 blogs? If you have to have that, how can I get it to search the next hundred? There must be a hundred billion ones out there. Using the tool gives me the impression that I’m looking at only a few. Other than that I found it very useful.
Thanks for having it be free.

I just downloaded the software and haven’t started using it yet. Just wanted to say thank-you in advance. Even if the results follow the median of the comments that means I will be finding quite a few blogs to get links from that i would have spent hours search for on my own. i love saving time. will report back with my results and comments.

It’s a useful tool for anyone who likes posting blog comments and I’m delighted for you that so many people think your software is wonderful but their enthusiasm betrays a worrying lack of SEO knowledge. The fact is that the back links will have little value because the link text is the author’s name rather than a search-keyword.

February 14th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
@MickeyBlueEye, I disagree. Just because the link is the author’s name doesn’t mean that the link doesn’t provide SEO benefits through passing PageRank and increasing linkpopularity. It would be nice to choose the link text too, but that’s not really feasible at other people’s blogs.
@Frank, yes we can consider adding that feature. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Neil,
Your software only searches the source for the term “nofollow” correct? So it returns blog posts that may not have any comments that are linked, but the blog does in fact use nofollow.
[Neil's comment... yes, that is a possibility, and I mention that in the FAQ... http://www.reallinkfinder.com/faq.shtml
"As you search for blog posts with less existing comments, it's more likely you'll find blog posts with comments where the people who left the comments didn't leave links to their websites... which means that the blog post may show up in Real Link Finder as a "false positive" because Real Link Finder didn't find the "nofollow" attribute". ]
February 14th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Hi Neil:
Yeah, I’m going to be excited to try this for my salsa oriented blog. That particular blog actually isn’t monetized at all but I am planning on both narrowing it’s focus and start some blog on other subjects that I think I can monetize more specifically.
I’d very much like to have a branded copy of the software for my own because I do think there’s a lot of salsa oriented website and blog owners in that business to whom this would sound very interesting.

Neil,
Very neat tool, already used it to post on a number of collectible book related blogs. Very curious to see how the results pan out.
Posting on blogs was something I had on my todo list for our new site, but had not figured out a smart way to find the “right” blogs that were relevant. Real Link Finder was the perfect solution and I am sure we will be using it often as we expand our site. FYI we found you through the folks at xsite pro in a recent email they sent out.
Cheers,
Michael

Neil,
Looks promising, but as I am using a router modem, I am not able to use it. It resets the modem every time I run it.
Is there any way around this? I am using a Speedstream router.
I would still be happy to promote it through my blog.
Cheers,
Sharon

@ Art, I’ve sent you a unique link to a branded version of RLF.
@ Clickbankmoney, Thanks and you’re right, no spam!
@ Michael, Thanks. I hope you get results like Ron did… “from #6 to #2 on the first page of Google!”
@ Sharon, I don’t see how my software could affect your router. It does check with my server when the application opens, but that would be a normal web-call, nothing unusual. Perhaps you need to configure your router or firewall to let Real Link Finder check with my server? Thanks in advance for mentioning it at your blog.
February 14th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Hi Neil
youo software is something I have been looking for however it doesn’t find anything no matter what keywords I type in. Any thoughts? I’m typing in architecture, interior design, architectural design.
February 14th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Hi Kim,
Just type in “cats” and see if it works. If not, you may need to configure your firewalls to let RLF “talk” to the Internet.
Neil.
February 14th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Wow, this Real Link Finder is the best thing that I’ve seen since Auto Income Secrets! Thanks, Neil, for making it available at no cost. I heard about this through Paul Smithson at Xsitepro. Look forward to increasing my links, incoming traffic and SEO ratings.
February 14th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Thanks Neil for the FREE Link Finder software.
Paul Smithson at Xsitepro gave me the heads up and I was sure to jump on this free software ASAP for increasing my links, incoming traffic and SEO ratings.
February 14th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
I’ll join in the praise. I’ve used one other blog post tool to promote my massage business and I really like your software. It’s great that you look for the no follow in the comments page. This is somewhat of a time consuming strategy, so you need to be sure you get the most benefit from your efforts. Good work Neil! (Oh yes, free is most excellent too!)
February 14th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Neil – I want to thank you for taking time to help all of us. I got a note from Paul Smithson about this today. I liked the way you walk us through how to install and use.
However- when I try to preview a site [by clicking only once] it does nothing. So I am forced to click twice and look at the actual site. When I do this I can no longer see the highlighted key words. What do I need to do to correct this?
Thanks again!
February 14th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Wow! This is great! I just bought another tool like this yesterday that I had a hard time usng. This is simple to use and the price is awesome! (Free!) Thank you so much! I’ll be passing it on!
February 14th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
@ George, the preview pane can take a little while to load a blog. Are you giving it a few seconds before double-clicking? Apart from that suggestion, I don’t know what would stop it working.
Neil.

This product came to me by way of an intermediary who I trusted which was the primary reason for opening the email. When I realized the product Real Link Finder was the creation of neil Shearing this revelation alone washed away any any apprehension I may have had. I’ve have been a subscriber of Neil’s Scamfree Zone for a long time. so when Neil has something to sell or better yet give away the promo is something I take very seriously. Congratulations Neil on a product to long in the making a product that you would only think about ctreating and then providing it for ziltch to your list and a hundred others through your network. Well done Neil my hat is off to you for your generosity and consistant endeavour to provide your list with tools that they can actually use.

Hi David,
Bring it down to 4,3,2 and 1. You should get more results.
The first thing we’re going to do to improve the software will give you more results.

February 14th, 2008 at 8:19 pm

Hi George,
I really don’t know what can cause that. No-one else has reported it. I presume you have Internet Explorer installed?

Great tool! Personally I like it better than Comment Hut and other similar proggies – and not just because it is free.
Will use it a lot, starting with my new brainwave / self-improvement related niche site.
…and on a sidenote:
I hope people will use the time they save with your tool to leave QUALITY comments on the blogs they find, and not just spam the blogmasters into closing their blogs to unregistered commenters…
February 15th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Great tool, Neil. It is easy to use and very accurate. Page rank would be nice to have, as well as an easier option of bookmarking a specific site. It saves time so qualify comments can be left.

Hi Anthony,
Hmmm. Could you please email the error info to admin at reallinkfinder.com ? It sounds like an unusual incident.
Neil.
February 15th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Hi Neil,
Thanks for the great tool. Your generosity is much appreciated. I agree with Evan, seeing the PageRank of the site or blog would be nice but I think his more important point was being able to search blogs WITH the rel=”nofollow” tag. Having the ability to easily locate QUALITY blogs based on keywords is very important to those of us who have vertical content sites and applications.
We are looking for links, but MORE IMPORTANTLY (in my opinion) we are looking for the reader of the blog… The informed human being who will visit the links in a quality post and investigate the products or services offered. And as we all know, quality blogs attract a quality audience.
Perhaps if and when you update the software, you might allow the user to choose whether the results list blogs with or without the rel=”nofollow” tag.
I noticed that your software pulls in some quality blogs… for me, getting the audience to consider clicking to my site and use the free rss tools I offer is just as important as the links. Therefore, I am not as concerned as some about the rel=”nofollow” tag.
Thanks again Neil… your generosity is greatly appreciated by the web community at large.
February 15th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
I’ve already asked my coders to build-in a nofollow checkbox for you to turn on and turn off the nofollow search.

February 15th, 2008 at 5:42 pm

Hi Neil,
I just wanted to take the time out to really say thank you for sharing your creation of your free link finder software with me.
I personally have about three different kind of blog commenting software yours is definitely the best I’ve seen, simply because it’s so easy to use and does not take much time too leave comments on other blogs.
What I like most about your software is that it filters out blog that uses the no follow attribute which allows me to generate valuable links to my site.
Thank you.
February 15th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
@ Rick, Rob, Paul, you’re welcome. Thanks for leaving your comments. Rick, I was thinking about writing a report about listbuilding using this as an example, so taking notes sounds like a good idea.
Neil.
February 15th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Hi Neil,
Everyone seems to be saying it’s a great tool. I on the other hand disagree…
Maybe I’m missing something here but I only get a list of 1 or 2 results on my keywords. And that was using one’s like fitness and health! Something needs improving or fixing but it has potential.
Hope it’s just a bug.
Dan
February 15th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Hi Dan,
Did you start off selecting “100″ blogs to search for, and 5 comments… then come down to 4,3,2 and 1 comments?
The coders are already working on letting you select the “next 100 blogs” to keep searching for more results… but even so, I would’ve expected more results than 1 or 2 for fitness and health. For example, I just found about 19 results using “fitness”, 100 blogs and 2 comments.
Neil.

February 16th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Thanks for the software Neil. Great price
For the software to be at all useful in some niches you would need to greatly increase the number of sites searched from 100 to probably 300 or 500. Too many niches come up with only one or two possibles, and some actually come up dry. Unfortunately most blog owners have now discovered nofollow and this method is of far less value than in earlier years. I wish you would do something to help in the social networking arena.
February 16th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Thanks for the software.
It reduces the time of searching for good quality blogs.
Keep up the good work!
February 16th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Neil, I’ve read your rebrand page and would like to offer the Real Link Finder as a free gift on my blog. My blog is aimed at spanish speaking countries so, if possible, it would be very useful to have the rebrand section in that languaje:

February 16th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
It’s a great concept, but I get from zero to two results for keywords that interest me. I suppose it’s an indication that most have the no-follow thing working.
February 16th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
played some more with it – great tool, but guess needs some tweaking. E.g. selecting 5 comments / 100 blogs, it comes up with a slightly related post on one blog, but not with the 100% hit entry in the same blog that had 8 commments…
And sometimes it comes up plain dry – while a manual check on Google brings up a few dozen and at least some of them with nofollow.
So two suggestions: make the number of comments an option, not mandatory, make it “5 or more”, and make “nofollow” an option as well. Add PR/Alexa check and Technorati “authority”, and the thingy is perfect…
small UI thing: on 1024×768 it opens in a way that the status bar is hidden / outside the screen, so you have to switch to fullscreen manually to see the whole UI.
And one more thing, perhaps a FAQ: does it some update checking, or do we have to come back to the site and check for new versions manually?
Cheers
Martin
February 16th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
@ Lane, I don’t know what your searching for. Either the search term is too precise, or you’re not searching for “100″ blogs and varying the number of required comments.
@ Martin, “5 comments, 100 blogs” is the strictest search and will return the fewest results. It will not return a blog with 8 comments. I don’t know of a way to implement a search requiring “more than” a certain number of comments. I don’t think I’ll be making searching for comments optional, because if the blog post has no comments, how are you supposed to determine if it uses nofollow or not? Adding PageRank may be viable, I’ll check with my coders.
The next version will have nofollow searching as an option, and will allow for searching “the next 100 blogs” so that you can continue searching beyond 100 results.
The software doesn’t auto-update.
Neil.
February 16th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
I’ve tried the program around 10 times now, and not once have I received

February 16th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
I’m sure you will, Stuart.
Thanks for your feedback.
Neil.
February 16th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
thanks for your prompt feedback, Neil! It is as much appreciated as the proggie itself.
Regarding the number of results: it is strange – sometimes it comes up with a lOAD of stuff, sometimes zero or close to zero.
But I think one part of the solution is a basic misunderstanding: it searches for posts with EXACTLY the chosen number of comments. So you never find posts which have a bunch of comments. And if you chose “1″ for comment count it won’t find those with “1 and more than 1″ but only exactly one. Same for the other figures. So actually you are not narrowing down the search results by increasing the number of required comments, but get completely different results.
My fault (and I bet not just mine) was to think: “Heck, it did find just two posts with at least one comment, so I just can forget about searching for posts with 2 or 3 comments…” But its a different search, NOT a subset.
Having the option to find posts with “many” comments would be great, because really popular blogs that can give you great backlinks and traffic usually have a lot of comments as well…
Keep it up!
Martin
February 16th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Hi Martin,
Thanks for your considered comments.
> Having the option to find posts with “manyâ€
> comments would be great,
It makes sense, intellectually, but how do you code such a solution?
Imagine the search parameters… “2 comments or 3 comments or 4 comments or 5 comments or 6 comments etc”. There isn’t a search parameter for “many comments” as far as I know. That’s the problem with coding such a feature. I’ll ask my programmers, but unless they have a BrainWave (sorry, couldn’t resist), then I doubt it’s feasible.
Neil.
February 16th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
actually should be no problem. I am not much of a coder, but have lead sw dev projects myself and know the basics… “number of comments equal or greater than x” can be implemented.
And in case your coders need some inspiration – have them sign up for my newsletter, then I send them some free inspiring brainwave sessions. Great for creative problem solving and keeps them healthy and fit
OK, I am off for today – take care! Looking forward to many more cool versions of this proggie!

Hi Neil,
I think this is a fantastic tool and will certainly reduce the work load in getting to the right sites. I wanted to add it to my website to introduce all my members wanting to get into “Social Marketing” to use it aswell.
It certainly would also indicate some possible niches to target for those that cannot find specific keywords –
Why not write an article about the specific keywords you cannot find and post it on your own blog – clearly there is a potential there!
Thanks heaps man and let me know if you get anything else in the future!
Happy bouncing monkeys

@ Alex, Click on any result twice to open it in Internet Explorer.
Oh my God…Of course! The caffeine didn’t fully kick in when I first tried this. GREAT JOB Neil…. Thanks!!!
February 17th, 2008 at 11:44 am
Hi guys, thanks for all your positive comments.
@ Melissa “Happy bouncing monkeys” LOL.
@ Greg, Your hyperlinked name will be enough to get you a link. If you start including links in your comment it may look spammy. If you can include a relevant link, that should be fine.
@ Laurie, Try “accomodation” or “Sydney”. Both is probably too strict.
@ Alex, I’m glad it’s working.

Hi Neil,
Just reinstalled it and tried again. I selected 100 blogs and going through 5,4,3,2,1 comments. Found more results now
Maybe the default should be 100. Would be good if it could go higher, but great to hear that your workin’ on searching the next 100 blogs. It would also be good if we could see page rank for this blogs/pages. Also, what about being able to type in a list of keywords and save projects so when you close down the software and open it back up, you’re down the list where you left off so you don’t come across the same blogs you’ve already posted too. Great stuff tho! Thanks for letting me know about that. I uninstalled it and hadn’t planned on reinstalling it again. Keep making it better, it’s a great tool!

Also, an auto-fill option would be cool. Save a lot of time too
February 17th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
I would love a subscription paid version that let me search 1000s of blogs, not hundreds. This is a very useful tool and completely whitehat. It makes it easier to do something I have already been doing.
Also it would be handy if trackback URLS were easily grabbed in case we want to blog about the posts we find.
Thank you!
–Richard
February 17th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I love this!
Agreeing with Richard, would like to be able to copyt the URLs to revisit the site…also, to check whether comment was posted. For example 10 + 5 = 15 ? My answer was rejected — twice!
Simply being able to click an option to open the link is a real browser window would solved all of that–checking comment, bookmarking to blog or comment again.
But I DO like being able to scan the blog in your window without having to open it…saves time for the ones that aren’t a good match.
Will it find phrases? Do they have to be in quotes?
Also got a Runtime error – no debugging possible a couple of times.
February 17th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
One more thing…it is astonishing to me that searching on the word “mortgage” produced only two results. That’s a very big word. Most websites have a “no follow” command in them somewhere. Is your search specific to the blog pages or to the domain name?
–Lin
February 17th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
it only works on very very limited blogs. its practically useless.
February 17th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Hi Neal: This is a great tool and I just started using it today! It is far superior to Comment Kahuna, which I was using but found it returned alot of irrelevant and no follow blogs so I could not use 50 percent of them in a given search. You also explain your program more thoroughly and what I learned today about linking specific keywords to specific pages was very relevant for the search engines to follow links deeper into a site. Great quality information you have given us newbies, and I am eternally grateful for the help. I want to recommend your product to several forums and many blogger friends I have met — so I will spread the word.
Again, I can’t say enough about this tool – thank you again.

Yes, I think you’re right.

That’s an interesting suggestion. I’ll look into that. Thanks.
@ Lin
>For example 10 + 5 = 15 ? My answer was

I’m 99% certain that’s a problem at the blog, not a problem with Real Link Finder.
>Simply being able to click an option to open

You can double-click on any result to open it in Internet Explorer. Is that what you were looking for?
>One more thing…it is astonishing to me that
>searching on the word “mortgage†produced only
>two results.
What were the settings? Did you search using “100″ blogs and “5 comments”? Try reducing the number of comments to 4,3,2, and 1.
@ Max
>it only works on very very limited blogs. its
>practically useless.
I think almost everyone else’s opinion contradicts yours, but thanks for sharing.
@ Teri
I think you prove my point to Max.
Thanks!

How refreshing!!!
For years I have spent literaly THOUSANDS of Dollars buying into products and courses from so-called “guru’s” who promised internet millions “wirtually overnight… Just follow my system. Your investment – for a limited time only – only $…”
And most of these products are like diets being sold – NONE OF THEM WORK – BUT EVERYONE WANTS THEM, because of clever, cunning, and deceptive sales letters…
Over a period of 4 years, this is the first time I can truely say that I am not being conned into buying a “Guru’s” product. So, it is a list building strategy – so what. The relationship is already built… right from the outset.
So, from a veteran webmaster, who, through trial and error, LOTS OF MONEY thrown down the drain, and who now is underground because of phisical life threats from those who know me (NO JOKE!!!) – this is a product you can use with confidence.
All who are in the business – including those who make millions from selling you a course that tells you ABOUT such software, and then more millions selling you simmilar software – know that linking increases SEO. You NEED this product. There are no strings attached.
Neil is the REAL DEAL! Go for it. Get it. You need it…
PS. Jonothan is NOT my real name. I have to use it – for my life’s sake… Keep waching the Internet – you’ll still hear TONS from me. REMEMBER JONOTHAN… I will keep bringing you amazing stuff like this…
PSS To your Internet success – without the high cost and impulse buying strategies…
GO FOR IT!
February 17th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Hi, Junothan again…
Here is one of my web sites I will use Real Link Finder for – as a start…

Do the same for your website – even if you are an affilliate to someone else’s site…
See ya soon…

Neil,
Great software! I love using this tool as it’s a great time saver. I get a fair amount of results back. I wish it also displayed some PR information. It would be cool if the results were ordered according to the page rank.
But I love it and I thank you for sharing it.
February 18th, 2008 at 4:52 am
Neil, Real Link Finder is a marketer’s dream! It’s so easy to find blogs with content relative to your market and post a couple of comments, also relative, to many blogs in one evening. What a way to have all those pointers back to your website.
Thank you for a great tool!

February 18th, 2008 at 5:15 am
Hello Neil,
Beautiful piece of software you are giving away for free. As long as people do as you say in the video and check to see that the blog is maintained. Simple compared to building or coding this software together. Great Job and Thanks
February 18th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Thank you for that great software. It’s a better alternative to Googles Blogsearch.
Because i have a blog in Dutch my question is whether there is a way to select the language?

So far so good – very useful but is there any way you can eliminate blogs that are way out of date?
I’ll be posting a link on my site.
February 18th, 2008 at 11:16 am
Thanks for the great feedback, guys!
@ Brett, Sorry, you can’t search for Dutch blogs.
@ Josh, Send me your “Recommended By”, “URL” and short “URL description” and I’ll send you a unique link to Real Link Finder. If anyone installs Real Link Finder after visiting from your unique link, the software will contain your branding info. Send your details to admin AT reallinkfinder.com
@ Jim, Try checking the top and bottom of the blog post to see when it was created. The software can’t determine this for you, sorry.
Neil.

Did you ever consider posting to blogs that allow trackbacks???
Well as far as I know about blogging.
That would be yummy

No doubts I will use your software
Thanks for the free game!

Dear Neil,
I am new to internet marketing, but my common sense tells me this is and will be a great tool in my future.
Thank-You very much, newbie’s need all the help they can get and at the lowest expense .

All,I can say about Free Blog Commenting Tool… Real Link Finder software “WOW”!It does not get any better then this!It was easy to download and start using fast without any hang-ups.I’m already promoting it as we speak.
The “nofollow” makes it a snap and takes all the guess work out of finding blogs on topic.Creating one way topic links to my webpage
makes sense to me!
Thanks Neil Shearing!

February 18th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Yes, Neil,
I like your reallink software. I found some interesting links already the first time I tried it.
BUT does it work only in english? Right now I’m staying in the Netherlands and I didn’t get any reaxion on a keyword in dutch. Other languages might also be helpfull, like german and french.
Thanx and good luck!
February 18th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Thanks Neil for an easy download and am going to put his through the test in the next few days. I have tried it a few times and looks like it will be a great help in my linking.
February 19th, 2008 at 12:49 am
your software seems to always go to the same blogs over and over again. Is there a way to add more blogs to the searches it performs?
It’s a really great tool, and has saved me a lot of time promoting my excellent astrology links. But I don’t want to keep posting over and over to the same places.
Any suggestions?
thx
annie
February 19th, 2008 at 1:45 am
Hi Tony,
I just ran a few test with the softwaer, I see that you can get a lot more blogs to be found in the search if you leave the leve of the search down to 1, also if you use the very common keyword for example Credit Repait, just use the word “Credit” and you will find blogs that are closely related to what your key word is or the product you are marketing.

Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2008 14:47:27 -0500
Hello Neil,
I have downloaded all the software to view your Link finder. …But, one problem is i don’t have a icon.
I’m not exactly a technician as you probably guessed.
I do have something after I downloaded that looks like a icon, it say set up{1}.exe.
Anyway I’ve been trying to follow your video, but I can’t do it without first having an icon (to start the process).
I saw a promotion suggesting selling I’ think some software for about $79.00 will that have everything I need to start utilizing the Spider software or link finder? It talked about some type of affiliate program.
I think for me it would be ideal to have a cd or dvd to set everything up for me. Do you offer such as tool?
Sincerely,
George P.
P.S. By-the-way my website is: http://fonzo11.fxmachine1.hop.clickbank.net/
February 19th, 2008 at 3:56 am

Very helpful tool, will be putting it to use in the morn, as tis late and time for rest.
Happy bloging
February 19th, 2008 at 7:18 am
Thanks Neil,
I downloaded the software and installed like clockwork….tested briefly. I will test more tomorrow and post the software on my blog..
Thanks for the software and all you do. I hope I get you some exposure for this product.
February 19th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Thanks Neil,
I have been using this technique for awhile but not automated, I have had to do it all manually by putting the correct string into Google
to find the nofollow websites
Then I had to log onto the site and use find to go through source code to look for the follow or nofollow code so you can see how much time
Real Link Finder will save, great its something I will recommend
February 19th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Thanks for the wonderful feedback, guys.
@ GuyHenri, I don’t see how the software can post trackbacks… they can only be initiated from your blog when you link to another blog, correct?
@ Sunny, I don’t think there will be versions in other languages, sorry.
@ Annie, Yes, the new version will let you do that. I’m testing the new version now.
@ George, I suggest you get a friend to give you a hand unzipping and installing the software. As a free tool, I really can’t provide more than basic support.
@ Phil, I’m glad we can automate a tiresome task for you.
@ All who requested rebranded versions, I sent you emails with details of your rebrand URL. Please look out for it.
Neil.
February 19th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Thanks for the great linking tool Neil.
I can remember your “Internet Success Spider”
was one of the first software linking tools
I had any success with when I was first starting
on the web. This one will prove just as helpful.
An even greater pleasure was seeing “You & The
Misses” – really nice to put a concrete
presence/face to your name. In the long run,
I believe that video or using that video will
prove to be a far greater marketing tool than
the “RealLinkFinder”. Says I!
Thanks Again and All the best,

I love that software.
Especially the feature that fills name,email,url
However I hit problems with the 5 comments, some blogs refuse to accept posts. Not a problem with 4 comments.
Coincidence? Do not know.
February 19th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Neil,
This software is proving invaluable!
All other marketing was slowing down, but after using this for only a couple of days sales are taking off again! Better still, when I ask these customers where they heard of my site…it was on blogs (which I only advertise to with this software), so this definitely works!
Thank you so much.
Simon Caddy
February 19th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Thanks for the software. I wish we could leave a comment with a anchor text which is important when back linking or link for inner page but usually I get deleted when doing that. My main source for back linking is still article writing.
Thanks
February 19th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Dear Neil-
So far I’m having a pretty tough time with your software. I run a website that offers historical magazine articles to the masses and when I type in key words such as: WW I, Great War, Civil War your software tells me that it can’t find even one blog where these topics are addressed.
Any suggestions?

Very nice piece of software.
Very powerful
February 20th, 2008 at 10:17 am
@ Matt, I don’t think there will be many nofollow blog posts with existing comments on “Great War”. That’s probably too specific.
Neil.
February 20th, 2008 at 10:38 am
I`m looking forward to getting hold of it. By coincidence I`ve been looking at how to find some sort of software to allow me to get backlinks without `nofollows` so this should prove invaluable, and if it works for me with my Windows Vista I`ll certainly be happy to spread the word.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
I have used it for 2 days now and am still working it out. I’m not sure what the nofollow means (maybe I am reading about it too late at night and and am tired) but have only left 1 answer so far as I am finding a lot from 2005.
I like it though and over a period of time will be able to get it working for what I’d like. Great to see it as a free tool
thanks

Hi again….this is sooooooo neat! I’ve often wanted to take Allan G’s advice to every day “write a page and get a link”…..but really didn’t know how to get a link every day, especially to my pearl site: http://www.KariPearls.com/white-pearls.html. Now the possibilities almost seem endless. I do like the suggestion (by someone here on the blog) to make “many contributions” a possible choice. Thanks Neil!

February 21st, 2008 at 1:57 am
Neil:
You have plenty of comments on the software. I read a good many of them and saw my feelings were echoed a few times.
I think this software has some great potential.
I have used it a few times now and do feel that somehow the coding is choking out a lot of blogs from appearing. Not being a tech, I would never really have a clue. I’m only reporting what I feel.
If you run the 100 blog search multiple times, does the software search the same blogs? It seems to me that it does.
The is one other little handy thing that might be good to have as a filter. Give it an Alexa or Pagerank filtering tool. Also a “recency of comments” filter would be helpful so that the software finds the good apples and not stale ones.
I played around with a lot of search terms and then realized that frankly I don’t care what the blog subject is; I care more about finding blogs without “nofollow” on any subject that I could talk about. Jonathan Ledger has pretty well dispelled the “relevancy of link” myth. In toto quality links are far more important than relevent links.
Cheers,
Steve
February 21st, 2008 at 3:33 am
Thanks for offering this software free. As yet haven’t downloaded it.
Tried to listen to video but as we are on dial up it becomes a very long d-r-a-w-n out affair. You say 5 words, we wait 10 minutes for the next 5.
For those of us who live in the backwoods and can’t get broadband, it would be helpful if there was a written rendition of the video.
Anyway, will download and see how it works.
Kind regards
February 21st, 2008 at 11:09 am
Hi Neil,
Thanks for your interest and mail. I am using your linkfinder and even placing your linkfinder url to some site’s.
)
As i told u before i am from the Netherlands working for 2 different kind of bosses. ( Got 2 links here now so get ur page up to pageranking 7 or higher fast please
I try to get our pages on a better place in google as all the other companies. I found some pages with the reallinkfinder but got the following problem. Most of the pages i find i have to wait at the approval of the makers. As u now a lot of pages are made and abbandoned, so there is no replay there.
I always start with 100 to search otherwise the result wont come out. Than i put in 5-4,3,2,1 comments as u recommended.
This all is working ( ty for that ) Now i hope to find some pages in Dutch. U told me in an other message it is not possible but maby someday it will be. The Dutch markt is growing fast in link’s. So maby it is a nice challenge for u to add the Dutch site’s as well.
Gr. Brett
February 21st, 2008 at 3:44 pm
I found one relevant blog the first time around. Thanks for that. However the software stopped with an error message.
If it is only my overloaded computer playing dirty, please forgive me.
February 21st, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Hi Neil,
I was lucky enough to come by your work early on in my own adventures in marketing and have come to trust almost anything you promote.
Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to evaluate Real Link Finder properly unless I buy a laptop or switch to XP on my desktop, which I have no intention of doing. I run Windows 2000 Pro and your software won’t install without .NET framework 2.0… and from what I can tell 2.0 is not available for Windows 2k… any chance of making a .NET framework 1.1 version?
February 21st, 2008 at 8:37 pm
@ Bob, According to… this Windows 2000, SP3 is supported.
Neil.
February 22nd, 2008 at 7:05 am

Thank you for the software. Is is excelent.
February 22nd, 2008 at 10:24 am
Great tool! Why is it free?
February 22nd, 2008 at 10:29 am
I am not sure how well it works. I tested it to see if my own blog at cat-purrfect.com showed up since I am not using the “no follow”. I searched for keywords cat and cats but it did not show up in the results, although some not about cats did. I tested using 100 searches
February 22nd, 2008 at 11:39 am
@ Liz, It’s free because I want people to be happy and possibly remember that when I launch a new product.
@ Tabby, Is your site in the top 100 for any of the keywords you’re searching for?
Neil.
February 22nd, 2008 at 4:28 pm
I just downloaded your free tool this morning!! I have already went and posted some comments. I love this! It doesn’t take up so much of my time and makes things a lot easier. Thank you very much
February 22nd, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Hi, Neil, I am a cancer survivor, and this morning I went ahead and put in keywords that represent cancer and diseases from smoking. I am an inventor and I came up woth a new imitation cigarette. This tool that you came up with makes it easy to go into someone’s website and get to know them one-on-one. I am trying to tell everyone that I can tell about my imitation cigarette. I am 56 years old and I have had 2 heart attacks all related to smoking, but I know that God is not ready for me yet, so please go and check out my website, which is: http://www.freewebs.com/1952albert and tell a friend who is trying to quit smoking to check it out also. Thank you for your wonderful product, I give it 5 stars!*****
February 22nd, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Neil,
I stand corrected about being able to install on Windows 2k, got it all squared away now. Just went about it wrong the first time, for you other Windows 2k users out there, just use the “Open” option in your download dialogue of .NET 2.0… instead of “Save”
Will be giving Real Link Finder a workout over the next few weeks and promoting the software here:

I ran program using LOOSE setting and still only get very few results for even common terms like “las vegas” and “hoodia”
February 23rd, 2008 at 12:26 am
Thanks, Neil, for the innovative software. I’m looking forward to all of your projects in 2008.
February 23rd, 2008 at 12:27 am
Hi Neil,
I think that the programe will be good choice for me as I am at the begining of my internet marketing now & I am examening various approaches for Internet marketing through my newly blog, but unfortunally error in the login when i type the regesteration key . So how can I overcome this proplem.I need your help
February 23rd, 2008 at 12:58 am
this only worked three times then it won’t find links. why? otherwise very cool, I wish it would search more than a 100 blogs though
February 23rd, 2008 at 1:45 am
I really like this tool. My only negative comment is not with the software itself, but with the blogs that were listed, so many of them were not regularly attended to, people seem to set up their blogs, but then don’t stay with it. I found more blogs I didn’t leave comments on than truly active up to date blogs. Maybe adding a search of comment dates to weed out all the dead blogs. I definitely will distributed the rebranded software to all my mail lists, which consists of other webmasters. Great software!
February 23rd, 2008 at 4:29 am
Hi,
great software and best of all free, what more could you want. I have been using comment kahuna and fast blog finder but this one seems the best.
I have only just started using it, and its great, i think i will uninstall the other programs and keep this.
thanks,
steve

sorry to spoil the party doc, but your product won’t seem to work in my computer. I have installed ( and now Un-indtalled) it twice with two different e-mail addresses and no luck. It is a perfectly good working Windows XP ( not 64k) that seems to work with every other piece of software that it touches,.. pity…
February 23rd, 2008 at 6:43 am
Neil,
Long time (years) no talk. Your old customer here.
As I used to say – you are one of the rare sincere helpful persons (gurus?) on the internet. Now you proved it again.
Thanks for the software – a great tool especially handling the “nofollow” factor

Okay, I’m a real newbie when it comes to posting and backlinks. So excuse me if this an obvious question. When leaving a reply, does it get linked back to my site via the website I put in the form or do I have to include a hyperlink in the actual comment to get the benefit of a backlink?
February 23rd, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Hi Neil
Thanks for providing this software … much appreciated.
I wonder whether there is any value in having a 0 selection on the option about blog comments instead of beginning at one. That way, we would pick up blogs that are new … without comments etc.
What do you think
Robin
February 23rd, 2008 at 3:47 pm
@ Robin, But you wouldn’t know if the blog used nofollow or not because nofollow is most likely to be found in links left in comments.
Neil.
February 23rd, 2008 at 7:13 pm
It downloaded and installed, no glitches. I have since run it several times using a wide variety of keywords, and I’ve gotten hits every time. Those other ideas I’ve read here about, incorporating a log of sorts to know what blogs we’ve already visited, among others, would be extremely useful.
Overall, Neil, a very worthwhile effort. Having been a fan of yours for sometime now, I have come to expect nothing but excellence on your part. WOW!

Hi Neil,
Thank you so much for this tool. A friend and mentor Mike Paetzold,( he’s the wordpress Blog Expert guy) told me about it today. This will save HOURS of time trying to find relevent blogs in our niche,so we may make comments on and interact with.
Thanks again,
Donna
February 23rd, 2008 at 11:27 pm
This seems like exactly what I was looking for to get more exposure and better rankings. Thanks for sharing this information. I will be giving it a try ASAP.

Hi Neil,
Judging from the number of positive comments you have received it appears you have over delivered.
The software is excellent although I agree with other’s that a limit of 100 blogs to search is a bit limiting.
As you are such an excellent developer of brilliant products have you considered something along the lines of ‘commentsniper’?
Congratulations on yet another well considered product. and thanks for providing it free.

February 24th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Hi Neil
I think it is a wonderful software to begin with. But I am not sure why the results are not very encouraging though. Only a few outdated blogs appear when I do a search.
I still think it is a great product if it can find more updated blogs.

Neil,
This is a great tool, easy to use and will definitely help a lot of people.
BUT, here are a few comments…
1: Not sure why we are forced to limit our search by having to choose how many comments the blog posts already have?? Isn’t this sort of irrelevant? As long as we know the blog doesn’t use the tag then does it really matter how many posts it already has? Maybe this should be an option people can choose to use but aren’t forced to.
2: I think incorporating the page rank and perhaps Alexa ranking of each blog found would be a great idea. Brad Callen’s software such as SEO Elite and Keyword Elite have this feature in them so it is definitely possible. Would help people choose more effective blogs to post on.
3: I think searching more than 100 blogs at a time would definitely help. Each search I do only seems to bring back around 5-10 useable blogs.
4: Being able to export the results to Excel or something would be great so people can save their work and slowly work through the list over time. Search engines prefer gradual link building as opposed to a sudden spike so having the ability to export the results or save my work would be a big help.
Hope these help Neil. A great piece of software and I will definitely keep using it. Thanks!
February 24th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
I still can’t believe that this software was FREE , just started using it , it works fantastic. i will let you know about results soon !
Thanks !
February 24th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Great software, greater price! I made sure to turn off no follow on my site too. Thanks for all of your hard work.
February 24th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Awesome….that is my strategy to give first! I will be using this on my new content site getting designed for free at Niche Marketing 2.0!
February 25th, 2008 at 1:22 am
Thanks for the software.
I’d like to see a “date not older than xxxx” feature, as a lot of posts I was taken to were older than I wanted to take the time to read and comment.
I didn’t see my keywords highlighted in the blogs I went to so far like I saw in your demo video?
Also found blogs that didn’t have nofollow on the post date, but current posts on that blog do now (I was looking for more recent posts to comment on).
February 25th, 2008 at 3:24 am
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your free software is such a welcome and timely gift. It saves time, makes your work productive without question, and I get to read interesting blogs relevant to me. I’ll definitely be recommending it.
February 25th, 2008 at 4:21 am
Just great!! This is a very useful software and I am so grateful for the opportunity. It is going to help a lot of beginners as well as seasoned website owners. Congratulations on a great idea.
February 25th, 2008 at 6:41 am
I love the video on your sales page — the “prop” is brilliant. I haven’t downloaded the software b/c I’m on a Mac & don’t have Windows with Peripherals installed yet. The software sounds fabulous, though. Eventually I’ll have to bite the bullet and start using Windows, and when I do, I’ll try Real Link Finder. Thanx.
Liz
February 25th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Excellent piece of software — just a few suggestions: You need a way to open the results in a new browser window or a wider view for posting comments. A toolbar version would be ideal.
At any rate, thanks for making this free.
February 25th, 2008 at 9:23 am
OH — I forgot: The other suggestion would be to have some kind of PR display (page rank) next to the blog results.
Thanks again — Martin
February 25th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Hello Neil,
Thanks I got your mail this morning. Yes I got the key number but unfortunately, after downloading the software on my PC, I could not proceed because it asked for .NET whcih is a 12.M heavy for my slow internet connection.
I will try it again adn let you know
February 25th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
We have been using Comment Kahuna (admittedly only sporadically) to start getting some deep links to our website, and after running a quick test of Real Link Finder, think I might be switching pretty soon! I ran a quick test for one of our keywords, didn’t find much, so dropped the minimum number of comments and came up with a few good posts to comment on. I like the fact it doesn’t force you into using internet explorer (Firefox is my browser of choice), and it was *really* quick. Thanks Neil.
February 25th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
I can’t get the key. I’ve put in my email 5 times over the past several days. I reveived a email saying I would receive the key and another email but never received it. I have white listed you and checked my spam filter. Please send me the key I am very anxious to try the software and will leave a comment about how it works, it sounds great. I rank 2of 10 with google and need a boost.
February 25th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Hi Denise,
Your mailserver was giving an error. I’ve sent the key to you personally. I hope the email gets through.
Neil.
February 26th, 2008 at 11:47 am
OK guys, I think that almost 300 comments are enough for this post. For any more comments on the brand new version of Real Link Finder, please visit:
http://www.neilshearing.com/2008/02/26/new-version-of-real-link-finder-is-ready/
Please try out the new version, the ability to keep searching makes it worthwhile on its own.
Many thanks for your support!
Neil.
February 26th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Thanks for the new version. It took a non-techie like me a few tries to follow the directions about removing the old version via the control panel….but finally figured it out.
Kari
February 27th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Neal,
I am not sure that the new version works for a couple of features. First, I wanted the software to filter out results that use the “nofollow” attrubute, but got this link:
http://www.star-wars-galaxies.com/2007/02/06/congratulations-to-our-latest-top-ten-winner-of-the-week/
I posted a comment and it definitely has the nofollow attribute.
Also, the submit button does not work within the program. I have to export the information and then copy and paste the blog address into my browser to be able to post.
Thought I would let you know.
Bill
February 28th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Hi Neil,
A few things:
-PageRank feature
-autofills the page upon loading
-a way to mark blogs as complete or save them as projects so we don’t keep coming across the same ones we’ve already posted too.
Also, what about doing the same software for forums. A future idea. Or creating it as a firefox plugin?
Thanks for the freebie. Very kind of you
All the best,
Dan
February 28th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
@ Bill, I don’t see how you could get that result in Real Link Finder because it doesn’t have any comments. Real Link Finder searches for blogs with comments. What search parameters did you use? Also, I don’t see your comment at that URL… so how can you know they “nofollowed” it? Finally, if the “submit” button didn’t work, I think I would have hundreds of people telling me… but you’re the only one. Are you *sure* you’re using my software?
@ Daniel, Thanks for the suggestions.
Neil.
February 28th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
hi there, what i find about the link finder is when i type in the niche fashion modeling it does’nt bring up relevant blogs concerning modeling.
I have tried it now for a month but it does not bring any relevant results.
Why is this?
HELP!
February 28th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Thanks so much for your simple explanation on links and their priority. Your video is a must see for all of us newbies…I downloaded your free link finder and will be putting it to use immediately….
February 29th, 2008 at 11:22 am
@ Serena, Please see my other comments for how to use the software properly.
@ Nancy, I’m glad you liked the movie.
Neil.
March 1st, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Hi Neal,Ive noticed quite a lot of activity on my websites backlinks over the last few days they are all from eatnineghost.com. i am not completely sure that they add up to a lot as they are all from one sauce.
I have also noticed that as of the28/2/08 that several companies are using my web site and some of my content to link to there sites, is this legal? and i can only assume due to the dates that its a strange coincidance that it the same date I used real link finder can you shed some light on this. regards Fossy
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:42 am
Cool program.. now I have to learn how to use it.
March 3rd, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I’m using CommentKahuna tool, and today i tried “rlfinder” but there is no result for other languages like Bulgarian (i’,m from Bulgaria). I’ll be happy to see support of my language like CommentKahuna do.
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Hey neil,
I have no unlock key.
Thanks,
Al
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:17 pm
got it!
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Thanx for the freebie. I have been using it for an hour or so. I find the results limited for searches that should return more sites. It appears to be searching a database and not the internet. I have tried commas between words, just spaces, single words, quotes, etc. (in english). The program is interesting, but the limited and repetative results are confusing/frustrating.
I’ll keep experimenting.
March 4th, 2008 at 12:36 am
I used your tool to leave a relevant comment on a blog and still got this:
“Sorry, but your comment has been flagged by the spam filter running on this blog: this might be an error, in which case all apologies. Your comment will be presented to the blog admin who will be able to restore it immediately.
You may want to contact the blog admin via e-mail to notify him.”
Suggestions? Is your software a spam tool and if not why does this site think so?
March 4th, 2008 at 1:17 am
I entered 100 results but it gives me either 16 or 22 results. What gives?
March 4th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Nice software it helps me a lot and would suggest other to try it and find its benefits.
March 4th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Excellent piece of software, just enter a few details and a few clicks of a button and you have your answers.
If only all software was simple and still effective as this!
We wanted to see the links for our keywords; tpad, voip, mobile wifi, free calls and we found plenty of suitable links to Tpad.com

Can you tell me how to change the default “no Follow” on a WP blog?
March 7th, 2008 at 9:38 am
This is a great software. You can leave genuine comments in blogs that are of good quality.
I would like to share this software with my subscribers.
Thanks for a great software.
March 7th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Neil my friend,
What you have done is truly a great service for the IM community at large. This is better or as good as all the others out there. Free or paid.
I wish you and yours wonderful success for the coming yea.

This looks like a very useful tool for web marketing, but it appears you only have a Windows-only version.
You should consider developing a Mac version for Apple users.
March 10th, 2008 at 1:13 am
I can’t find any blogs at all. I found one a while back, but nothing at all shows up anymore.
keywords:
plastic injection molding
EDM
CMM
Industrial Health and Safety
Moldmaking
Plastics
March 10th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
This seems like an outstanding tool, however when I entered key words, I got very little in the way of results, i.e property investement = 0, overseas property zero, then shotened the key word to just property and place 1 in the number of comments and then got just 1 blog that had nothing to do with property. This was a shame as I know that there are many many blogs out there on these subjects and I have even published a number over the last week on a very popular site. Am I doing anything wrong or is the tool just not working for any of the key words that I am using?
March 10th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Hi Neil,
This concept is really cool. I appreciate that you thought and created this software. However, like others, i hope that you will release Version 3.
I tried a few keywords and it didn’t give any data. I changed the Blog comments per post from 1 to 5 and found that it will only open those sites which have ‘exactly’ 5 comments. No more, no less.
If you could remove this ‘comments’ restriction than it would be really helpful to all. This will bring up more quality sites which have multiple comments.
Good job!!!
March 11th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Hi Neil,
Whatever I search on I get no links, even if I search on what I imagine to be commons key words, eg books, music, clubs, money making… Any ideas why this is happening?
March 11th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Unless all these comments were written by Neil himself, it’s inconceivable what they are so happy about. This software is so primitive and returns a limited number of useless blogs even for very big search words. Posting at these blogs may only damage your rating.
March 12th, 2008 at 4:47 am
Hi Neil,
Some initial feedback on RealLinkFinder.
A helpful tool.
Any chance of a font size changer?
Any chance of a date selector so we only find content updated within the last __ days/weeks?
Thanks for sharing it.
Gary Harvey
PS: Andre, what do you have in mind when you say that
posting at these blogs may damage your rating?
March 12th, 2008 at 9:18 am
How can posting at “these blogs”…”damage your rating”? It’s nonsensical IMO.
Blackhatters know that links *into* a site can’t hurt it… because if they did, blackhatters would just spend time, effort and energy trying to kill off competitor’s sites.
Regardless of that, this is a “white hat” commenting tool.
Andre, the comments I write have my name at the end.
Neil.
March 12th, 2008 at 9:19 am
I’m closing the comments here, as per this comment I made in February…
