Blog commenting
-
Is commenting on blogs with high page rank but nofollow links worth spending time on for link building?
-
This is also a very good point, thank you!
-
Very true!
Thank you for your reply -
I would also add that its a great way to establish positive relationships with blog owners when it comes to potential guest post outreach.

Everything Jesse said and...
Ultimately, we are building relationships and also building our authorship. Eventually, that will add to the big picture of earning links.
In my humble opinion, adding thoughtful, relevant comments on blogs benefits the blog owner, their authority and your relationship with them and in turn will eventually do the same for you.
I also notice that it is a good practice arena for continually developing better communication skills which will add to your ability to create great content. Which will, in turn....It's a win win in my opinion.

Thank you, that is a great insight! Did not think of it that way. Will definitely start spending some time on it then.

Not for link building, only if you think readers of the blogs might find your site relevant and click said link. In this case it would definitely be worth your time as you are getting true traffic to your site from people interested, which after all is the ultimate goal. But from an SEO standpoint, it will do nothing to increase your keyword ranking in search engines.
In other words, yes and no.

Reposting Blog posts on 3rd party sites
We have a few informational blog posts that are valuable to some readers. We have posted them in our blog but were contemplating posting them on 3rd party blogging websites such as Blogger, Squidoo, etc.. Ideally we would continue to maintain these accounts with multiple blog posts, but would all be reposts of the original blog. These are not half english blog posts just hoping to gain a better Google rank. They will provide value to the readers who might not be finding their way to our website directly. Is posting these blog posts on the 3rd party websites, linking back to the original article and maybe some products that are related to the specific document going to negatively affect our rankings due to the duplication of the content?

Same Content on Different Blogs
We host our blog on WordPress as part of our site. The blog "address" is www.website.com/blog/post. If I were to take the same content that's on this blog and post it on a Blogger account we have, would Google consider that duplicate content? If not, would there be any benefit to doing this?

Blog Directories
Will links from blog directories to our subfolder-located blog within our website help the ranking of our overall site? In other words, will it just help the rankings of the main blog page (where the directory links are pointing to), or will it pass the link juice to the rest of the site? Thanks!

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

Blogs that Thank Their Sponsors in a Blog Post
I've noticed some popular bloggers who create a monthly blog post that thanks their sponsors and the links are followed. Do you think that Google lets this slide or are they stopping some or all of the links from these blogs from passing link juice?
