I'm searching relevant Blog for pages where I can post content about furnace filters.
I want to build link to my online store http://www.furnacefilterscanada.com
In a SEO point of view, is it worth it to post content and leave my URL?
Here are some example of blog I leave content today using my name, jean nichols:
some need ''admin'' approval:

Takeshi is right, but I'll chime in that the whole purpose of SEO is to increase traffic to one's website. It follows that if your targeted blog comments produce an increase in traffic, then they have boosted your SEO program.
The link Takeshi sent is a fantastic reference. I highly recommend it also. It is one of my favorite blog posts of all time and I refer to it often. He is right that there are probably some quicker "wins" in terms of tactics (in comparison to blog commenting) on that list.
Cheers!

The blog you left a comment on is nofollow, which means it has little to no SEO value.
Honestly, comment links may have some value, but it's almost never worth your time if you are just doing it for link building purposes. There are dozens of link building tactics you could be using that will have a much bigger impact on your rankings. Here is a good list of ideas:

I think blog commenting can still certainly be effective for SEO when it's done right. I think you're on the right track. I read your first comment and I have a suggestion that hopefully will make your comments more authentic, and hopefully then, get them read and noticed a little bit more.
If I were you I would completely disclose who you are and that you are in the business of selling furnace filters. Do this above and beyond just putting it in your link. Be authentic and conversational. The beginning of your comment started out good, because I felt like I was getting some good information and advice. But the end (particularly when you asked me to Google a specific term), struck me as a pitch, and that was a bit of a turn off.
Can commenting work? Yes. Just remember to be real, write conversationally (no marketing-speak) and above all, give more than you get.
Good luck Jean, I hope this helps!

Menus and Internal Link Volume Guidelines
Hi guys. I am currently working on a site with a large menu structure. In the navigation there are lots of submenus amounting to over 100 links in total. When i have been auditing the site i am getting the notification to keep internal links below 100 - but the everything on there i do need - have trimmed down as much as possible but its all very necessary and logical for the end user. Is this 100 internal link guideline something to be concerned about in this situation? If so is there any way to accommodate a larger menu structure whilst still appeasing these guidelines. Any help is much appreciated, thank you 🙂 Kieran

Subdomain links vs root domain links? Are the less valuable?
I am determining the value of links we get. Is a link on a subdomain less valuable vs one on the root domain? How less valuable would you consider a subdomain link? For example blog.site.com vs site.com/blog What other metrics would you take into consideration for the value of a subdomain link?

Gained my first quality link, was it worth 2 hours of work?
Hello,
Link Building | | wppseo
I'm a newbie. I'm building a brand new site. In a niche service business, worldwide.
Today I gained my first link, I tried to reach to the highest qualify link I could identify.
I'd like to know if you think my two hours effort was worthy, or laughable. Because I can gain other 3 or 4 links from other domains working like that. I tell you where is my first link: the top domain is in the same niche business, DA 79
My link is in a subdomain page (always in the same niche business) that has: 20 other links (mine is the only external dofollow) Domain Authority 79 /100 Page Authority 31 /100 Page Link Metrics Just-Discovered 79 in 32 Days Established Links 1 Root Domain 4 Total Links the homepage of the subdomain has Page Authority of 66 /100 Page Social Metrics 0 0 0 0 0 I'd appreciate any feedback.0 -
Need Expert Footer Link Advice
We have a sister company that provides online administrative services to .EDUs. The administrative site has thousands of pages, with good pagerank, excellent trust, and a clean bill of health from Google, as does our corporate site. We have the ability to put footer links on every page back to our corporate website. Options: 1. Do nothing for fear of getting penalized by Google 2. Footer Link: Web Design by Logo, with "Web Design" being the anchor text. 3. Footer Link: Web Design by XYZ with "Web Design" and "XYZ" being the anchor text for link diversity. 4. Footer Link: Web Design by Logo with "Web Design" and the Logo (Alt Text "XYZ Corp") being anchors for link diversity. 5. Put up a page (or 2) about web design on the administrative site, have all of the footers link to that page, and have that page link back to our corporate site. We really aren't doing anything wrong here, but both sites have a clean bill of health and the Google spam police have me paranoid. Our corporate site has an excellent link profile with hundreds of links from .gov, .us, and .edu. The links have commercial value, and can drive traffic to our site. Looking for your thoughts before we make a move.

Link Building for a New Blog
We are setting up a new blog and I was wondering what is the best way to build good quality links for a new website? I have been researching this quite a bit on the forums and a lot of people talk about writing good content which I agree with however no one will find that content if we are not ranking in Google for our keywords. From what I have read the following is what I should be doing Directory's Creating Link-bait (Info-graphics) PR Releases or Getting News Sites to link to us I have heard a lot of mention of using Articles sites like ezinearticles but I have also read that Post Panda that they dont have as much link juice as they once had and also I don't think that for a Blog that we should be using it as well but maybe I am wrong? Would appreciate some peoples suggestions
