Leaving Comments on blogs when html is removed
-
I found the following blog. It is pagerank 5 do follow
http://www.unssc.org/web1/programmes/rcs/cca_undaf_training_material/teamrcs/forumdetail.asp?ID=32
If you attempt to leave a comment with html, the html is removed. There is a button which allows you to leave a comment but if you do it gets redirected to the domain of the blog not your site. However there are still people leaving links with the url of the intended site. As late as today.
look at this comment

There's a fresh post on Search Engine People yesterday about blog commenting guidelines that likely mirrors what many people here would say about commenting. http://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog/blog-commenting-guideline.html It's a good read for developing a comment strategy that will work in the long term.

I've looked at a few of your questions, and would like to suggest that you look at the Beginner's Guide to SEO and get an good idea of the big picture of SEO and a feel for the SEOmoz approach to SEO. The people here tend to focus on doing things that provide value to the viewer of the site and finding the right way to do things so that your results last, rather than trying to find shortcuts and things that will only work for a short while until there's another update of the search engines.

A bot? You're scaring me a bit, like the lunch lady in Billy Madison. Are you going to write a bot to spam your links on their comment pages? That sounds fruitless... as these comment pages are already filled from top to bottom with spam.
If you use Firebug in Firefox, or Chrome, you can write what text you want in the field and add the link, then inspect the input where you see the text, and grab all the HTML that was generated by adding the text. Then it's just a matter of having a bot inject that text into the page. You'll still have to beat their captcha though to fully automate the process.

Another Thing does anyone know how to do this automatically, with a bot instead of highlighting the string and pressing the link button and putting in the info.
-
I tried it and it worked...
My guess is you're not putting the "http://" in the Link URL field, so the comment thinks it's a relative URL, so it ends up amending whatever you put after the page URL in the link text. Make sure to put the absolute URL in the Link URL field, starting with "http://", and it should work fine.
-
Ok I figured it out a bit more - you need to put in http://yourdomain.com not yourdomain.com when the pop up box asked for the url. My fault. Thanks for the good answer.
-
yeah, but it puts the following infront of your url
http://www.unssc.org/web1/programmes/rcs/cca_undaf_training_material/
which makes it a link to the forum not your website
TRY IT - you will see

You can do it the same way you can add links in for comments in this Q&A forum. Write the anchor text in the comment, then select the text, click on the link button, and then put the anchor text in the Link URL field in the pop-up that appears.

To integrate a blog tool onto site - or build a blog solution - what's better for SEO?
Currently looking at adding a blog to our company site subdirectory and wanted to know if there was a SEO distinction between the following methods: Integrating a bolt-on blog tool with the site to create the blog VS. just using the current site infrastructure to build blog functionality. What's better for SEO? (and if tool integration is the overwhelming response - which tool?). Cheers.

302 Redirects for Wordpress Blog Trackbacks
I'm a newbie, and just got my first crawl diagnostics report. I was looking at the temporary redirects, and virtually all of them are trackback URLs from our blog (we use ourdomain.com/blog and Wordpress). The diagnostics report says they're 302 redirects. Is this problematic and, if so, can you suggest the best way to fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help!

.me vs .com for new personal blog site
Hi guys, this is my first ever post on SEOMoz (woo!) I have researched and I did see someone else ask something similar but I still wasn't clear, so i hope this question is not considered a duplicate and can go on to help other people too Enough waffle For various reasons I am moving our company blog to startup a personal blog instead and I have bought a couple of appropriate domain names in a firstname/lastname format for the new blog, basically: myname.me and iammyname.com My question is, which would you consider 'better', if either, for SEO? (bonus point: are there any other non-SEO factors I should consider?) Obviously the second name is longer, but it is a .com and I hear all the time that .com is king and .me is waaaay behind Ultimately I want to rank #1 for my name If it was your site and your blog and you had my choices which one would you go for? Many thanks for your help. I'm looking forward to being part of the SEOMoz community and learning a lot from you guys, cheers, Nick

Where to host my blog
If I cannot have my blog on my main site, what is the second best option? It is currently on Blogger, but I am wondering if it would be worth it to move it to blog.mainsite.com. Thanks!

Why would you remove a canonical link?
Currently, my client's blog makes a duplicate page every time someone comments on a post. The previous SEO consultant told the developer to not put a canonical link directing it to the main blog post. Did taking out the canonical link result in these duplicate pages? My question is why would she recommend this action? Is it best to now add in the canonical link in or should we implement a 301 redirect or insert a index: no follow? Would adding a canonical link keep duplicate pages from happening in the future?

How do I add a blog to a subdirectory of a volusion store?
Based on what I've read so far, the best blog URL for SEO purposes is a subfolder (www.example.com/blog) rather than a subdomain (blog.example.com). I am having a lot of trouble adding a blog to our e-commerce store which is hosted by volusion. I have looked into installing Wordpress into a subdirectory but apparently Volusion does not allow the mysql/myphpadmin/database access needed to successfully do this. I have also looked into trying to publish my blog through ftp using Blogger, but they stopped allowing this a while ago. Does anyone know a way to add a blog to my volusion store's subdirectory? Thanks
