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.

Do i have too many 'follow' backlinks and am i being penalised by Google for it?
Hi all. I read on Moz recently that if a website has too large a percentage of 'follow' backlinks, that Google penalise the website because that is unnatural. IS this correct please? I ask because i have recently found that our own website, according to Moz, has 16,500 inbound links and they are ALL 'follow' links. These are all from independent 3rd parties and we havent commissioned any of them, so it is completely natural. URL if anyone cares is www.themosquito.co.uk Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

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

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.
