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.

negative impact?

A number of times you should use your keyword in a guest blog
Is it true that if you want to rank for a chosen keyword, you have to mention that keyword 3%-5% of the whole content (in a guest blog)?

External linking on a company blog
This has been bothering me for a long time. Our company has a sub-domain blog that gets a respectable amount of traffic but not a lot of SER. Most of our traffic comes from social shares (although we do rank really high for a few key searches). The blog manager is convinced that providing external links to additional resources or source material "dilutes the SEO juice" for the blog. URLs are provided, but they aren't linked. Attempts to sway her to the idea that external links are actually Good Things® have been stonewalled. Tell me I'm right and why.

Performancing.com guest blogging service ok?
Hi MozFans, A client is interested in working with the guest blogging service of performancing.com. They seem to have a lot of good contentwriters and post on (most) niche blogs. Guestblogging is a good thing for seo, when it's on relevant sites with a quality article.

The client hasn't got a lot of time to write and find blogs himself. Any positive or negative experiences?
Or other options 🙂 Thanks!1 -
