Do follow Blog comments
-
Alright,
I would like to know what do you think about this practice in general and hear some answer for my case.My case:
I know a net of different blogs that let you put do follow comments as long as they are good. It is not really a lot of spam going on yet, around 6 comments per blog entry.
The do follow link is in the form www.xyz.com. Normally a PR 3 after the post ranks.
There are around 20 different blogs. I have already use them and I believe with good results but can´t measure it as I do many other SEO activities.Would you recommend to get to invest time commenting in all of them? Even if all them are in the same C-block?
Please feel free to share any experience!
Thanks! -
_From pure link building perspective, commenting on the same IP blogs may not be adding that much value to the link profile of your website. But do not take it this way. Blog commenting is more than just link building, it is about engagement and believe me when you are commenting on reputed sites that match the theme of your website, it can really drive real traffic to your website. So, please do not post thinks like this – “Great Post”, “Awesome mate, keep posting like” etc. You need to do post comment that adds value to the conversation. _

Well I think they do.
My competition uses this links a lot and I am talking about pr7 websites from big companies. I Doubt they bring any traffic as they are in random topics.
But do they Weight?
Is google not smart enough to know that these are comment links? -
The general consensus on these types of questions has been if the audience is relevant you may see the benefits of traffic from comment readers. Does anyone know of any research into whether blog comments actually carry any link weight anymore?
-
I would imagine that even if there was any benefit from an SEO perspective that a couple of posts with your URL included would be enough. Hundreds of blog posts per domain wouldn't necessarily add any more weight from a link building perspective, especially if all the domains are hosted on the same server.
When it comes to whether it is worth allocating time on the endeavour, I guess the question is whether the blogs are relevant enough to your niche that providing expertise would potentially gain you relevant traffic from the blog itself. If the blogs aren't close enough to your industry or well respected enough then I wouldn't bother investing any real time on the matter.

Blog articles on website vs submitting to article submission sites
I had some articles created for a client. The site is on WordPress. I'm wondering if it is best to add the articles to the blog page of the website or if it is better to submit the articles to ezine articles. Or can I submit the same article to both places? Is there a strategy that should be followed generally speaking when creating content for the blog vs article submission sites? The goal is to increase the ranking for target keywords. I realize that the answers could take a lot of different directions. But generally speaking I would like to know, If I have an article where is the best place to add it to achieve better rankings for target keywords? Thanks for the help.

Does a Subdomain Blog Pass Juice?
I have a client who has their blog on a subdomain instead of subfolder. Unfortunately, the eCommerce platform they are using does not allow them to implement a blog in the subfolder. So now we are looking at growing their blog as a means to drive more traffic to the main site. The blog is a mirror of the eCommerce site's navigation with the main content section being a blog rather than products. Will publishing content and building links to the subdomain blog pass authority to the main site?

Paid Blog Posts getting Deindexed?
Hello, We've used a popular paid blog posts platform to get back links through blog posts. Recently, performed a link audit noticed a very interesting problem. 40% of the 49 sites we purchased paid posts from, have been de-indexed. These blogs are the kinds that would take money from almost anybody in any given niche to write a review and give a paid link to you. So, I assume most of these blogs had a high number of outbound links. Their page rank has also been demoted to 0 (obviously since they're deindexed). Now, our dilemma is that should still go ahead with paid blog posts, after checking for the following: 1. PR 2. Google Penalty The sites at the time of purchasing the posts were not penalized. But 40% of the sites being completely de-indexed is a staggering number. Can someone please suggest whether to go with paid blog posts techniques or not?

No Follow and reciprocal links
I just wondered by adding no follow to a reciprocal link (one link only not the link on both sites) does it become a one way link? I have some reciprocal link partners who are more interested in traffic from my site than link juice which is irrelevent to them. Am I better adding no follow to those links at my end?

Too many links in my blog post created by comments. Should I worry?
Every year, we do a popular "Favourite pictures of the year" contest where people vote on the best picture (i.e: their mate's) in order to win something. But I just found that I'm going way over the "Too many links" limit and I think it's because of all the comments. 1. Is it a problem 2. Is there a way to de-activate the links? Thank you! 🙂 Ioan

No-Follow links on clients blog?
I have a client who has a blog with a side bar on each page, in the sidebar there are various links to the site, as well as links to some of his partner sites. I was looking at the recently updated open site explorer, and noticing that their domain authority is way down, a good amount below their competitors as well. The total links compared to the linking root domains is ~3000 to 200. So my question is 1. How can I gain on the domain authority front? (more diverse links?) And if so, 2. Should I no-follow the links on their blog so they don't have hundreds of pages with the same links (most internal) on there site Thanks,
