If you really wanted to add something that contributes to the site, then do it without the link.

If you are leaving a comment with a link to a site you own, you are doing it only for self-serving purposes. Yes, I consider that spam. I'm not saying it is right or wrong. It is just foolish to try to argue that you are adding something useful to the website. That is just complete BS.

So according to you and your logic, forum posting (since its basically the same as blog commenting) would be spamming as well and you are a spammer too!

I mean, If you really wanted to add something that contributes to the site (forum), then do it without the link (lets look at your Signature)!...

No offense, but signatures in a marketing forum, are a little different, but whatever. Call it spam. I really don't care. I don't have a problem with it. I just laugh at the people that try so hard to justify their comments on blogs, especially when they are dropping 20-30 a day.

Mike, they are no different. Blogs are communities just like forums. The marketers see that a blog comment is more than a backlink - just like a signature in a forum. Check out the major SEO blogs and you will see regular members commenting quite fine with links attached to their posts. It's the same for most niches.

Yes, hit and run campaigns across mutliple blogs with little regard to the community can be seen as spam but it's also counter-productive.

Just moved up a site of mine in a competitive niche with just some better link diversity. I simple thing that can work wonders.

Ok, let me put it this way. If it is a community you would participate in regardless of the potential gain through dropping any links, then fine. No problem.

If it is a community you are going out of your way to participate in just for the sake of links, no matter how insightful you feel your comments are, you are spamming.

hmmm I disagree with like 50% of the things you said, yet I rank numero uno (or 2-3) for well over 20 keys... so hmmmmm

let me add to this. I've been getting pretty good results using Unique Article Wizard to rank my sites on the Google. It's a bit expensive, slightly tedious since you need to write articles and spin them but ultimately, I get consistent contextual backlinks from blogs, even high authority blogs.

Wonderful tips you've got there. I agree that link diversity should be strictly followed. Nig G will be very suspicious if your links are entirely do-follows.

Useful post but...
Nothing beats wordpress??? And thats second on that list?

I think thats a statment that needs I little more explanation. At least SEOwise...

[borrowabanger]

I agree with every point specially wordpress it has auto ping built in which helps in ranking.
