		<description>Hi Edward,
Thank you for your feedback.
Much of your concerns have been addressed in this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.darrenchow.com/blog-commenting-service-feedback-required.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;previous post&lt;/a&gt;.
We tested &quot;nofollow&quot; links, and they are counted. You will see the links in Webmaster account.

As for signs of ranking improvement, we tested blog commenting on completely new sites and they are ranking well in the search engines...even earning us some money with Adsense.

So I&#039;m convinced that blog commenting works because that is the only promotion method we adopt for those sites. (They are in the health niche)

From our tests and observations, blog commenting does work.
Of course, as mentioned in the earlier post, if you firmly believe that &quot;nofollow&quot; links doesn&#039;t work, then this service is not for you.</description>

		<description>You don&#039;t mention improvement in rankings at all. These links do you take into consideration things like no follow? 

You talk about pagerank, but if the links are no followed this is going to do you little good. Plus the link on their own would drive little to no traffic. Do you have any sign of ranking improvement? Or measures in place to ensure this link will help you?

		<description>Hi Darren,
This is great news..I did a test like this of my own-it does take a bit of time but I believe it is useful to join the conversation as you say. I may be in touch regarding your offer as I do not have the time to do all of the commenting myself. 
Keep up the good work!</description>
