Hello,

If you comment on low OBL genuine blog posts relevant to your niche with high PR with your URL, does this count as a good link, or is it not worth it?

    Why this shouldn't be worth it? If it's niche relevant you can get potential traffic too even on a no-followed page.

      I don't stress that much over nofollow / dofollow. And, as you said, at the very least they're going to give you some link diversity.

    Relevant is key. Ask yourself if the readers of the blog would be interested in your content. If you build links based on getting great traffic you should be good. Don't use a keyword as your name.

      Why are you asking about blog commenting in the SEO Forum?! SEO is the smallest afterthought benefit of blog commenting, and not what it's about at all.

        So I just wanted to know, what really works for SEO now?
        Social bookmarking sites are loaded with spam
        Link Directories are dead
        Article directories are dead
        Blog commenting does have a little effect in SEO. So, what are the backlinks which really effect the ranking?

          So I'm told (I've never bothered to look at any).

          Certainly. For a long time.

          For SEO purposes, of course. For many years. (SEO was never related to the reason for their existence anyway, of course. Some of them actually continue to serve their original purpose rather well, in spite of their backlinks being completely worthless).

          Yes, certainly. Because they're relevant-site backlinks, and worth having if they're not from high-risk "private blog networks", spammy junk, and pages with hundreds of backlinks on them.

          The same as they always have been (since I've been online, anyway) but all the more so, now: backlinks from sites (not "pages") of quality and relevance. That's why all the SEO textbook writers were rightly and wisely saying as long ago as 2008/9 (before even the first of all those "recent Google updates") that when you're dealing with non-context-relevant-site PR-0 backlinks, you'll need something between 50,000 and 100,000 of them to give you the same linkjuice as you can get from one backlink on a quality, relevant site. What's changed now is that the Penguin updates mean that if you try to get that, from 50,000 - 100,000 craplinks, the Penguin will eat your rankings for breakfast and give your website the slimy fish treatment it deserves.

    So the summary of your post were, get backlinks from relevant sites not pages. So, I have some more questions,
    Is continuous backlinking necessary? If so, for some niche finding relevant pages become so tough, leave aside relevant websites. How to build backlinks for those sites?

      Yes - if you have an arthritis site, a backlink from a rheumatology blog is worth plenty, in principle, but a backlink from an "arthritis page" in Ezine Articles or HubPages or Squidoo is useless. (Squidoo's external links are all "no-follow" now, anyway, not that that makes any difference, really).

      Originally Posted by Larry Leggett View Post

      People disagree about this, and it depends what you mean by "necessary", too, anyway. For some sites/keywords/purposes it's going to help, clearly, but that inevitably depends, too, on what the "competing sites" are doing and how good their links are, doesn't it?

      A more interesting question is "Is SEO traffic necessary?"

      Personally, I'd advise you not to put too much of your time and effort into trying to attract "organic SERP's" traffic, for two main reasons: first, it's very precarious and makes your business Google-dependent, and any business that's Google-dependent is no more than one algorithm-change away from a potential accident (or even a potential disaster), as so many Warriors have been finding out over the last year or two, some of them to their very great cost; secondly, for me, search engine traffic has been uniformly the worst-converting traffic out of everything I've ever tried in 8 entirely different niches over the whole of the last 4 years - search engine visitors to all my websites typically stay the least time, view the fewest pages, opt in the least often and actually buy anything by far the least often. I admit I do get tons of search engine traffic to all my main sites (just because of all the high rankings I've got, incidentally, from article syndication to relevant sites) but I'd certainly hate to have to make a living from that traffic! Google rankings are not really much of a "traffic-generating plan" at all.
