Dofollow Blog Comments
-
I wanna buy dofollow comments, can be there any negative effects? I understand that is a kind of a black hat seo, but i saw many sites who used this type of service and get boosted in the search engine ranking.
-
That's a highly valid point. Same goes for if it's a clients site.

If you're planning on doing this with a non-disposable, branded website it's a bad idea as there are can be lots of negative effects.
If you're planning on being black hat, having a network of disposable sites, and are going to be masking (or trying to mask) everything you do, it's just another tool in your toolbox.
Like people already mentioned here, it's better to make worthwhile comments that can be traced back to a reputable looking source as those could even have the added benefit of bringing you additional business, not just a boost in the rankings.
-
You might be joking but I've seen comments like that haha
Such services are often easy to spot I think
-
lol.... if you pay the wrong person for this service they could post stuff like...
"Visut da coolest Wigit sight un da intranet - Pruneabic Bohan is a bad mudda."
That will make you look really good if messages like that are plastered all over every blog in your niche.
Would be best to buy services like this for your competitors. lol

You'll probably get some complaints by blog owners, and it really doesn't do a lot anymore anyway. Most of the links will be either removed fast, the ones that stay will be on blogs that aren't maintained and are therefore full of thousands of other spammy links for Ugg boots and viagra, and the rest will be on blogs that are both irrelevant and practically worthless in terms of what it will give you.
You could always just find a few decent blogs that are dofollow, give a good response and add the link yourself More likely it will stay that way.
-
I think it depends, those do-follow comments really give a initial boost to your sites but the vast majority of those sites the comment section is not Auto Approve and the guy who is selling you this service for sure is not going to comment on all the sites, he will use some program.
Based on that maybe you would have a much better result doing it by yourself, really comment on the blog posts, adding value to the owner of the blog and, by consequence, getting a high approval rate of your comments/links.
-
Personally, I would avoid this strategy. If the site selling the dofollow comments is caught by Google then Google could determine that you bought a link and penalize you.
Can you find any sites in your industry that remove the nofollow tag from comment of users who participate a lot on their blog? I'd focus my efforts on such sites.
Not that I'd necessarily recommend this, but you could always report your competitors to Google if they are indeed buying links. Before you do this I'd make sure that you were playing by Google's SEO rules.
-
The most likely negative result is that Google will know that the links are paid and they will pass no value - thus wasted money.
Another potential negative result is that these links will stink up your link profile and your rankings will suffer. Nobody knows exactly how google detects of measures this.
If you have a great site stay on the white hat path.... if the only way you can get links is by shady methods... guess you are stuck with them.

Link Building Techniques: Guest Blogging - Is it Okay or Not?
I was reading this page here: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356 "[...]Buying or selling links that pass PageRank. This includes exchanging money for links, or posts that contain links; exchanging goods or services for links; or sending someone a “free” product in exchange for them writing about it and including a link." So assuming you provide high quality guest posts to high quality blogs, is it okay or not to use this method as a link building technique?

Cluster of outbound links on blog
Hi, If a blog has a section which contains 40 outbound links almost like a blogroll do you think Google looks at this cluster as suspicious? Could this come across like paid links to Google?

Do follow Blog comments
Alright,
Link Building | | sebastiankoch
I would like to know what do you think about this practice in general and hear some answer for my case. My case: I know a net of different blogs that let you put do follow comments as long as they are good. It is not really a lot of spam going on yet, around 6 comments per blog entry. The do follow link is in the form www.xyz.com. Normally a PR 3 after the post ranks.
There are around 20 different blogs. I have already use them and I believe with good results but can´t measure it as I do many other SEO activities. Would you recommend to get to invest time commenting in all of them? Even if all them are in the same C-block? Please feel free to share any experience!

Host a wordpress blog as a folder or external site?
I've been speaking to our developers as I want to introduce a blog. My intention is to host the blog as part of our existing site, so the url becomes www.example.com/blog I have a personal wordpress blog and I love it, the amount of plugins, themes and ease of use makes it a fantastic platform. I spoke to my developers and requested if they could install Wordpress within a folder of our existing website. This gives me control to do plugins, custom themes etc. Straight forward I thought, but I didn't get a straight forward reply. They went on that it would require two linux php servers, a load balancer between them, and set up and configuration would take 5 days. Their day rates are high, so 5 days is a lot of money. This got me thinking, what if I hosted it externally and linked from our website, so the blog URL would be www.myblog.com This gives me the power to have a wordpress blog for cheap and use all the fantasic plugins to optimise the site (Yoast, Schema plugins etc). I know for SEO, it's better to host it as part of your existing site, the ranking juice remains in your area and it further helps strengthen the site. But then i'm thinking, if the wordpress stand alone blog works out, it will end up being a great external linker, further boosting my existing site's presense. Have any of you faced any similar problems? Thoughts?

Getting a link from a blog on every page querying what OSE is suggesting
Hi Guys My client has been offered a link from someone within their industry on their blog. The blog has 20 categories and multiple (hundreds if not more pages within each category). The owner of the website has said that would be happy to give my client a link on each of their pages (including their homepage). They have done this for another couple of people who they like before, so I typed these domains into OSE and noticed that for each page it shows a link and also the page authority. Domain Authority of this blog giving the link is 71 Home Page PA - 76 About us PA - 60 it goes on.........the least PA being shown is 52 so lets for arguements sake say the other 18 or say categories are PA of 52 too. My question is surely the OSE is not accurate to imply that my client could be passed page authority from 18 categories at 52 each + home page of 76 + about me page of 60? Hopefully you understand the point I'm trying to make

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!

Build links through blogging?
Although my site is a wordpress site it presently has about as many static pages as blog posts. The site has a lot of directory links and is doing pretty good with a PR3 after about a year. When I first put the site up I had a well known blogging expert help me with the permalinks and a couple of other things and he said that with a blog there is no need to build links, it can all be done through natural link acquisition off of the blog posts. I was skeptical at the time because it seemed that a lawyer's site was something not a lot of people would be interested enough in to link to it. Now I am thinking about trying his stragegy, as 1 of my blog posts that I put up on a very topical subject immediately got about 15 backlinks. My questions are: Is it reasonable to try to build links just by posting frequent topical blog posts? If yes, should I have links in the blog posts to my home page, to internal pages, or both? \ Paul
