Agreed. Link building can be seen as a viable marketing strategy. However, as is also the case in the offline world, only relevant information targeted at the right audience adds value. Thus, comment spamming should have a negative impact instead of positive one and should be treated as such by Google and others.

Thanks for the article!

Does it really take more than 15 minutes to read a post, formulate a quality response then submit it? It frustrates me more than anything as a small amount of time reading an article might actually teach you something.

Your posts are informative, to the point and arn’t so long that I lose interest. This isn’t kissing your rear but a genuine take.

So many SEO sites claim stuff that is simply not true. Thank you for saying it as it is.

I pretty much agree with your post. When using blog commenting as a way of building back-links. It should be done in a way that add value to what has been discussed instead of spamming someone else web property.

Thank you for your thoughts, well written post. I too agree and am amazed at the lengths some go to with blog comments.

After reading your article, I will change up the way that I feature links on my blog and website as well. It is great that you read over and finely pick the comments that you allow on your blog. Good comments can only improve your reader’s experience.

Thank you!

Great post!

Personally I use commenting to build the blog awareness when starting a new blog. People still do seem to click on the link after reading the comment, and for a new blog it is one of the quickest ways of attracting visitors.

Search engine rankings are something that I see as a long-term project so getting some visitors via writing comments or via social media is a great way to get the first visitors, while building content and working on seo.

Further to my previous comment, I also found your blog post interesting. I found it googling about SEO after crawling out from ‘underneath my rock’!

I am revisiting SEO after many years of not really needing to worry about it. I’m in the moving home industry and got a web site live in 2001. Now that’s no big deal, there were heaps of web sites around back then. I left the industry in 2006 and have just returned to find the online marketing landscape to be quite different. Think ‘living under a rock’ for the past 5 years or more. What has changed a lot in tens years (as far as I can see) can be summarised in a few sentences.
1. There are a lot more web sites around in 2011 than 2001!
2. The web is the first port of call for most people looking for something. Back in 2001 SEO really wasn’t a big deal in the moving industry; people still used things like the Yellow Pages and other print media.
3. The moving companies getting somewhere quickly in my market have an SEO strategy. They have backlinks (of varying quality I must say), they’re in directories, some do article marketing, there’s also do-follow blogs.

Which means SEO is now a must have marketing strategy. Ignore it and perish.

Am I on the money?

There is also some added value in branding and getting potential click through traffic. I have toggled back and fourth from a pr of 1 to a pr of 0 that we feel is based on do follow blogs shuffling old pages to the rear so the do follow blog advantage can sometimes be temporary. That is why I try to do it for other reasons. And don’t forget blog writers love comments even if sometimes only slightly related to the content. We all love traffic.

I spend the odd bit of time deleting the odd comment spam that makes it through the spam filters at cplus.about.com, so spammers obviously see this as useful.

Interestingly, I recently got a page 1 google result (no kidding) for the not very much used phrase (without quotes) “writers q & a” within five days of registering writers.im. Not exactly a popular phrase (17 million results though!). It makes you think though! A .im as well!
