backlinks and spam

We are so often told how to get backlinks by article marketing. We are also told to do blog and forum posts and comments. What I would like to know is what do you consider spam posts and spam comments. Many people say to other people that there links are spam links that are coming from forum and blog post but I always considered spam to be something that just kept happening over and over again. Or comments and posts that were no more then something like nice job or good article so the person could get a link. I don't consider someone who makes daily comments of a paragraph or more to be spam. Many of the comments are well written and make a lot of sense so do you consider them spam and if not what do you consider spam.

    Good comments are never spam if they are adding value to the forum or post. Spam is comments that are auto generated and the same comment is sent to hundreds of forums and blogs. Like you said, nice post, thanks for the info. Things like that.

    I have a good amount of sites you can comment on that are all do follow links. If you would like a list, just email me. sconlinemarketing(@)gmail.com

      Moreover the links placed in such comments almost happen to host malware, thats if you click those links your browser will give you warning for the malware

      They are really bad guys not even spamming your post but putting links on your website which can potentially harm your rankings or even more worse impact they can have

    Hi,

    You can sometimes recognize spam comments. If they are good comments then it means the one who placed the comment really read the article. In my case, spamming really works in making backlinks.

    Best Regards,
    Jeff

      At the end of the day it is somewhat subjective so you won't really get a black and white answer.

      If it was a clients site I would probably stay away from profile links and blog comments all together.

      However, that is only directly to their site.

      You could still build a "hub" around their sites with either web 2.0's, new domains or aged domains with PR and send the "low quality" links to the "hub" sites.

    Comments are not spam as long as they are not the usual one liner comments. People do this thinking only of what they get once they do this. Comments should have value and the purpose of comments is to enable interaction. It's a way to ask a question, give an opinion or say how you feel about the certain post. Besides, doing this, will get you a lot of attention. People will start commenting on your thread and they will click to head over to your blog and see who you are and what you do.

    Link building can be a challenging, frustrating task if you don't systematize it or have some sort of organized plan of attack. With that in mind, I created a List of "Link Building Links" on my website, which include the top article directories, press release submission sites, and "Do Follow" forums and blogs. (Unfortunately, the do-follow status of some sites seems to change, but having a few "no follow" links help to make a link profile look more natural.)

    To respond to your question: IMO, one good test to apply to a blog comment to determine if it's spam or not is to ask yourself "Could this comment apply to almost any topic?"
