Is there less juice passed from a spammed blog?

[rob1123]

Found a PR2 auto approve blog that's pretty much been decimated with spam, I commented but afterwards wondered if there was any point?

http://thefactory.moodboard.com/post...-Art-Show.aspx is the blog if you want to see just how bad it is

You will still get value from that source, after all a backlink is a backlink and it's better having one than zero.

However the less OBL on the actual page then the more link juice is passed, so finding blogs that have few OBLs is better than blogs that have thousands of comments.

To be honest there isn't a clear answer to this, but a ton of anecdotal evidence. A backlink is a backlink, but there is a lot of evidence that repeatedly being associated with a "bad neighborhood" - ie spam site - could get your site into the sandbox or de-indexed. Key word - could.

A page like that is pretty much a waste of time to point to your money website. I'd spend the time building high quality (not auto approve), dofollow blog comments if you are interested in blog comment links.

There's better links you can get out there.

Some SEOs use the simple formulas stating that the link juice for a page is divided by the number of links on the page.

Some believe a higher position on the page is better.

Look at the rank of the comment page, not the home page.

Let just take it like this; if your parrents had only one chocolate things would be like this; more kids they have, less chocolate each of them get.
Same goes with linkjuice, but you should not care about that, link is link. At the end they all contribute to final value.

The more the link density on the page the less the link juice is passed from it. Its the thumb rule

You might get some juice but chances are it will be sour.

I would focus on quality rather than quantity. However, still at the end of the day a link is still a link.

How many spammed blogs are out there really? Millions. Why are people doing this? Because it works.

The point is, if you aren't building backlinks with "spamming software" like Scrapebox that spam thousands of blogs in hours, but instead manually building, then you have probably waste a bit of your time.

Less link juice: Guess so. No effect at all from 10 or 20 backlinks of these nature
Are they effective: Yes. Build a few thousands and its looking good.
Got de-indexed or sandboxed in my experience: Spammed over a million URLs with hundreds of sites and never.
Something that looks like you are getting sandboxed: Yes, its called Google Dance.

My thought is that - to keep your site "clean" build link pyramids (2.0s) and build these so-called spammy links to your 2.0s. Throw in decent content to your 2.0s too and build articles and bookmarks around them too. When they rank, they'd literally pull your site up.

I agree a link is a link but it's allways going to be better with no spam.
