No Follow Blogs. Do they help with keyword density?
-
I know no follow blogs don't pass page rank or link juice, but do they aid in help with making your site know for a specific keyword when you use anchor text?

My apology , but i disagree only on one thing
"... you can almost guarantee yourself ..."
On a topic that is perfectly on grey zone like this (where not even the Google Webmaster prohibited it directly) , i know that i wont be able to guarantee it myself (even when it is backed with huge amount of correlated data)
All I am saying is, PERHAPS based on the correlation data made by mad scientist in SEOMOZ, the effect for links coming from Comment on Blog is not correlated to high rank , but as said by many correlation is not causation .. Again many on-going debate is running for this kind of discussion but no one can say "i guarantee it " (unless if uncle google decided to participate in this discussion himself) xD
my 2 cents

I definitely wouldn't guarantee blog commenting won't get you high rankings if you comment on quality do follow pages related to your niche. I have multiple sites that have first page rankings, some #1's with a great deal of blog comments. Not a practice I recommend as a full fledged strategy, but it is helping pages and rankings. As long as your comments are not spam and contribute to the conversation constructively they are definitely worth the time and you learn more about your industry along the way.

No. But not because of no follow, because it's a comment on a blog. If it's a super easy link to obtain you can almost garuntee yourself that it:
-
won't have much effect on your rankings.
-
isn't worth your time

Search engines definitely want to see a "healthy balance" of do-follow and no-follow links, so some no-follow anchor text from relevant, authoritative, non-spammy sites is good. Certainly can't hurt.

Domain authority through blogs
So, I was looking at my competiton, and noticed that they have 4 times the amount of link that my page has. I noticed that they made a blog on almost every free blog hosting available (like webs.com, jimdo.com, .weebly.com...) And every blog has a high domain authority (and poor content) with links to their page. Is this helping with their domain authority? Should i do if for my page too? Thank, M.

Is this link Followed?
Hi All, Noticed this link in opensiteexplorer. Its not marked as no-follow, but not sure if this link would pass any value? http://goafrica.about.com/od/southafrica/a/selfdrivesa.htm Click on any external link, it takes you to a "preview" page from within the main website. Is this a false positive? As in it shows as a follow link, but when you actually click it, it doesnt redirect to the website. Any thoughts on this? Greg

Link building need help
I've been doing link building for the past 2 months for a website. I've put together some blog posts and submitted them to some sites. However, I don't want to repeat the content on other sites or use the same sites again for links. The problem with this company is that nothing is happening. The last press release they issued was in 2010 and in the 4 months I've been working for them nothing has happened. I have found a few good quality websites in our niche which I could approach for links, but I want to have good content to put on them. Does anyone have any ideas as how to create content that would be suitable, bearing in mind this a B2B company.

I am new to Internet Marketing world and want to become a great SEO. My biggest challenge is How To of Back linking. Not the reason and theory behind back linking. But more the actual hands on Back linking strategy. I feel that a lot of the back linking information out there is so mixed.Rand did a White board Friday lesson on the new link building strategies. When searching for back linking strategies it is filled with all the old link building tactics. What I wanted to ask is all the experienced back link people is, Have you changed your back linking strategy. Or just parts of your strategies. It all seems very confusing for a newbie when it seems the industry it self is still uncertain. Any advice on where a newbie should be starting their new back linking strategy. And any good resources on learning to do the actual hands-on of the back linking. Thanks in advanced

Why Post Useless Blog Comments
I notice that I'm getting a lot of spammy blog comments on a personal interest site. Why would someone go to all that trouble to get a nofollow link that will most likely not be approved?
