Leaving comments with backlinks on related articles may have improved website SEO, but it risks contributing to spam if not done strategically.

Are you guys saying no don't do it for the sake of trying to not create a spammy internet?
I know there's better ways to build back links, but i'm curious. Before I learnt more about SEO (only a few months ago) I left a few comments on related articles with a link back and it seemed to have improved the websites SEO. Is this possible or was there something else happening here? Am i tripping!? -
I actually did this before I ask the question for one of the directory "child care in Singapore", recently according to data given by moz, the ranking moves up. Of course, I also comment on those related blogs.

Ha haaa!! No thinkLukeSEO, you aren't trippin'!
Yes, while gaining links by commenting on related blog articles may improve your rankings, they are still just low quality links. Depending on who you are up against in the SERP's and the competitiveness of the keyword you are targeting, this method may or may not move the needle. If this method is working in your scenario, I would be willing to bet that your competition must also have low quality links pointing to their site. Or very few links.
If you want high quality links you just have to dig deep, research and create valuable, high-quality content on your site that your target audience will find valuable. Share it, do outreach and make sure it can be found! Though these type of backlinks are harder to achieve, when you get them they are worth more than a hundred blog comments. At least in my experience this has proven true.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a spam-free internet to browse and find reputable sources for all of our search queries? Sadly that just isn't the case today. But we can dream, can't we! LOL
Cheers Luke!!

I would stay away from this approach! Super spammy. Like David mentioned above, leave comments to engage with the author about the article itself. There are far better ways to get valuable links these days.
Here's a great article from Neil Patel on building links. Maybe you'll find some takeaways from it.
Hope that helps Cheers!

As others have mentioned, simply commenting on a blog post does not directly help SEO and if done for the sole purpose of dropping a link it is basically worthless spam.
Leaving a thoughtful, intelligent comment that furthers the conversation started in a post can be a great way to build a connection with the author. If you do this regularly on a site, your chances of securing a future link to your content can be significantly increased.

No Don't do that, it is one of the bad SEO practice.
-
If you want to leave a legitimate blog comment to engage with the author and the community, go for it!
If you're only leaving blog comments to get links to "help your SEO" - don't do it.
It's spam and it won't help you at all.

Does Dofollow links from forumn profiles, blog comments, business directories or article directories etc have any impact?
Hi guys, So looking at my competitors in my city a lot of the people ranking on 2nd, 3rd pages and so forth have little or no quality backlinks, instead, their links are all from business directories, forum profiles and blog comments. I saw google employees saying easy to create links hold very little value and it's easy for the algorithm to distinguish been easy to obtain backlinks and difficult ones. From what I see on my competition backlink profiles, they may not get them to the front page but they do get them to pages, two three and four. I was wondering if creating say 20-30 easy links per week and also focus on obtaining high-quality backlinks. Would they be any penalties for 20-30 easy to make links a week from Google? Cheers

Guest Blogging good or bad?
Hello Mozzers, Matt Cutts once told that guest blogging is a bad way to get links, then he relativized it again and said it's okay. We all know Google doesn't want to count those links, what they want are editorially given links. Now my question, what's your view on this topic? Do you still use guest blogging as a link building technique? Best regards, grobro

Blog Commenting - Useful?
How useful are you finding blog commenting to be regarding link building? I was having a discussion with someone about this today, and I thought some input from the Moz community may be helpful. How helpful do you find blog commenting to be in link building? Do you have any evidence of effectiveness/ineffectiveness? Is it something you still currently do (for link building)? Any input is appreciated. Thanks guys!

Blog Roll Links - A good or bad thing ?
I Use Blog roll links all the time but recently they seem to be having a lower effect on listings. Is there a limit on Blog roll links you place on a blog. Internal blog roll links and external blog roll links. Also do you rename your blog roll to something such as popular links like we do ?
