High PR Blog/Site Comments

If I post my website on a few high pagerank blogs, perhaps in the comments section, would this be a bad idea to garner backlinks? I am aware most of you guys say it is a dumb way, but just wondering on why?
I am not talking about simply spamming, but adding in my input and a link at the bottom with my link as long as it goes with the topic at hand. Would this be detrimental to my pagerank at all?

      This guy is talking out of his arse ^^

      Everything that worked before Penguin, still works after Penguin.

      Please go ahead and post relevant and engaging comments on blogs in your niche.

      There are a number of benefits to this over and above link building-

      Traffic
      Relationships with other bloggers
      Branding/recognition

      Think of it as more of a relationship building exercise than a link building one and you'll be good to go

        If that was true - there would be no need for a Penguin, then. I mean, let's use a bit of deductive logic here, Matthew

          Depends on how you look at it. Most of the old techniques work just fine still. It's just a matter of how long you'll be able to stay under the radar. Not a problem if you're building churn and burn sites though.

    No - it wouldn't if they're relevant blogs to your own.

    No, it would be helpful, as long as you add value to the sites on which you comment. Here are some posts/threads which will help you, on the subject of blog commenting ...

    It will help you even more to stop thinking about blog commenting in terms of SEO, because that isn't its primary purpose or primary benefit at all, and isn't a particularly helpful way to look at it. Blog commenting, if you go about it sensibly, can get you something much better than SEO traffic.

    Are you possibly confusing "page rank" with "Google SERP's rankings?" They're two very different things and one has only a very slight impact on the other. We can all see this for ourselves, from the ever-increasing regularity with which lower-PR pages outrank higher-PR pages in Google's SERP's. This isn't anything new - it's just getting ever more common. Page ranks are an increasingly devalued currency, and Google has openly said that their long-term objective is to stop publishing them anyway: http://www.warriorforum.com/off-topi...ar-2013-a.html

    The power and value of backlinking is all about quality and relevance. It always has been, to some extent, but that's gradually, inexorably becoming more and more and more true all the time. Every major, "named" Google update seems to emphasise and reward quality and relevance more than the last, and to penalize the opposite more than the last. Google has made no secret at all that this is the direction they'll be continuing to move in, too.

      Thank you for the long response, I apologize on the wrong forum post. What I was thinking about doing was adding my website to my profile (like a wordpress profile if their website uses wordpress) and commenting to add value on to the subject matter, without adding in my link in the comment. That way, the comment would link back my profile which has my website in it without being rude to the blog itself, while also gaining a tad recognition for my brand as well. Thank you very much for helping me understand.

    I'm not sure if I'd really bother much with registering at blogs and adding a link to my profile. There's nothing wrong with linking to your site via the designated URL field. (Not the comment itself.)

    According to me, do NOT waste your time with blog comments. Better start something bigger like article and forum marketing. Blog commenting could NOT also get your website blacklisted for SPAM, but also not so many people will click your blog if there are 100+ comments!

      I go to some blogs because of the discussions in the comments.

      And how would people know that, before they click on it?

      And anyway, what does that have to do with this thread? This conversation's about making comments on other people's blogs, not about how many you have on your own.

      There's no such thing as a "high PR site", Angela. Websites don't "have page ranks": only pages have page ranks.

      When people inaccurately talk about the page ranks of websites, what they're actually referring to is simply the page rank of the site's own home page, which - in this context - is relevant to you if you're making a comment on its own home page. People shouldn't imagine that making a comment on a PR-0 page of a blog that happens to have a high-PR home page is going to be much use to them just because of that page rank.
