Using comment boxes for building links (the right way)

[activitysuper]

Some people see this kind of link building as spammy mainly because of automated systems I guess making it spammy.

But what if you use your company name linking to your site to indicate who has posted it and then actually contribute some good discussion.

A lot of these are no-follow (although I have got it into my head even though they are no follow not passing juice I still think Google counts the link and it does something).

So I want to start doing some of this, for example squidoo.

Lots of lens with great content that I could quite easily comment on with 50 words+

If you are comparing link building through blog commenting with link request, link bating, infographics and similar stuff then yes it is indeed a low quality idea but I might disagree when you say it’s a waste of time…

On a ground reality, If you write great comments on industry relevant blogs that actually contain value then you do get links that pass quality link juice. To prove my point here is a small example:

http://kikolani-com/  (convert '-' with '.') A blog own by Kristi Hines is a do follow blog where you can add a keyword if you can produce some valuable comments… (Kristi is a great content producer who holds a great value in the industry as a front link blogger for blog and social media marketing)

I think it is a waste of time and resources. Focus on quality content link building and fresh content. You will see better results spending your resources there.

WOW! This is a whole lot of a debate… I mean being honest I have tried this type of link building activities as well…

I think link building through blog commenting is very much hacked by spammers and low quality discussions but if you find some great blogs (there are great do follow websites search and you will find!) where you can add some great posts and discussions then it’s not bad at all.

I mean just consider SEOmoz daily blog and see the amount of people discuss and share their perspective… it’s not bad at all it’s healthy…

About using your keyword/company name in the blog, it’s quite controversial… I mean some bloggers are ok with it (these is a comment luv plug-in that allow you to add your company name with your name) but some bloggers are not happy with it…

So it’s about a choice of a bloggers to accept your point of view as a comment… but I am sure if you comment is worth including you will be included even with the company name on a do follow blog…
