Warriors I wanted to know some of your opinions on what you think is better to do. I have read a number of threads here on this forum about how article marketing when done correctly can give you a lot of traffic. But blog commenting possibly can help in your SEO, which seems more profitable. I am a noob, so maybe I am wrong on what I am describing or possibly not.

What would be more beneficial?
--Having 1000 articles with the keyword(with follow up link) that you want to rank in for google?

Or
--Blog commenting 1000 times using your keyword on do follow blogs?

    I would not limit myself to one form of link building but do both and other forms linking to diversify. But as a direct compaison the PR of the page is an issue. You could get a link from an article directory but the chances are the PR is 0 while with blog comments, it is easier to get a high PR backlink. Also the number of outbound links could play a part seeing as most dofollow blogs have many comments and outbound links.

    that's right. although article marketing is helpful in SEO, it is more beneficial in terms of driving targeted and pre-sold traffic to your site. it diversifies your backlinks as well. To me, blog commenting is more on obtaining link juice from high pagerank pages of blogs for SEO purpose.

      Do them both, then come to your own conclusions.

      There are thousands of threads on this forum. Most of them are started by people who want you to feel like you need to buy whatever it is they're selling.

      If they sell article marketing materials or services, they'll start threads telling you that article marketing is the answer to your prayers. You know how it goes...

      Just try a bit of everything, keep accurate records, and see what makes you money.

    I'll prefer for continuing both of them. It's better having 500 article submission and blog commenting 500 times rather than depending on only one technique.

      If you have to choose, go with articles, because its content.

      But always do both, make a diverse backlink profile.

    I think article marketing is a better long term strategy, as those tend to stick around longer if they are high quality.

    Both are good though, so you should definitely mix it up.

    If you can get a decent amount of high-pr, relevant, do-follow, anchor-text backlinks from blog commenting, it really can help your serps lots. Easier said than done, but not impossible.
