Commenting on Splogs

by Easy Cash

There seems to be lots more splogs around.

Particularly when you search on certain keywords.

Do you think it is wise to add comments to these splogs to gain backlinks or do you think this is associating yourself with 'bad neighborhoods'.

    This is the first I've heard of them, so I had to do a Google search. Wikipedia equates them to spamming techniques, here:

    To me, they sound like something to stear clear of. Just my opinion.

      If you are just commenting on blogs just to comment for a backlinks these sites might be wise to stay away.

      In order for you consider these sites splogs they must have no value, like page rank, scimpy content etc...

      You should be looking for sites that fit with your sites theme and can add value as a backlink.

        Ed - they must rank for something as when you do a keyword search - they always seem to come up high in the rankings - hence the desired backlink.

    I believe the "bad neighborhood" thing only affects you if YOU are linking to THEM. I don't believe that any incoming link can hurt you. If that were the case, your competitors could simply set up a network of spam blogs and put out tons of backlinks to all of their competition to de-value their pages.

    I'm not an SEO expert but I don't believe an incoming link can penalize your site.
