    If they are from high ranking, relevant pages then Yes. I've had great results with blog commenting, and it's now a big part of my strategy.

    Also, I would suggest it's only worth pointing one or two links from a page to the same URL. Your Signature is unlikely to be adding any more SEO value than mine.

      As I have read and understand - gogle will only find and add to their index of your backlinks - the first link to a url on hte page? So yes - 5 different keyword combos all to the same URL on one page may be a waste of bytes.

      Do Follow blog posts are good backlinks - provided that the site owners dont nuke them at a later date. Also even if the pages PR is low today - thats not to say that wont change for the better 6 months from now.

      I say a dofollow link that wont get removed off the site is a good link - PR or not - if it can be placed without tremendous time and effort. They will still help, and as I say - what if that pages PR continue to increase over time.

      What good are the coveted PR7 links - that get nuked in 15 days after you place them because mods get pissed?

        What about nofollow links? I know they arent supposed to carry any weight forward but I see a ton of people commenting on high pr nofollow blog posts with the intention of hoping to see some SEO value out of it because based on the fact that I have seen anchor text like "hot babes" or "dog training".

        Is this because I am missing something and nofollow blog links do provide a benefit or is it just because these posters are cluseless with regards to being able to tell if a blog is follow or not or even understands that there is a difference?

    Do follow comments give you a major uptick in traffic. If you set your blog to be do follow you are telling Google to follow the comments and you are telling them that the link to the commenter should be valued.

    It's worth remembering that it's only Google that uses the 'nofollow' attribute. Such links still pass value in other search engines

      I see...so basically posting a relevant comment to a related nofollow blog may not give you additional weight with Google but will still be beneficial in the eyes of the other SE's...thank you for clearing that up.

        Yes...do follow links from blog comments are great. But...they need to be on blogs that are relevant to your niche. And the higher the PR, the better. But a relevant backlink from a similar niche site is always good.

        Use the following site to find posts in your niche...

    Google is not using nofollow any more... So all comments have value. The problem is that the value of all links is not equal. In many cases, one article link from ezinearticles is worth 50+ links from blog comments. You are better served putting out quality content than just doing a bunch of blog comment spam.

      You tested this?

      My results have been slightly ... no significantly different.

      Made a blog post on an obscure site PR0 where I put a little video clip in the blog post - just cuz I could ... and some relevant text that was jibberish - just cuz I could.

      This stupid blog post comes back higher in google after being only a 4 day old post on a totally obscure, low pr site vs. a 4 month old well seo'd eza article that has gobs of backlinks to it.

      Now - in general - eza articles my have more juice ... but to say they are worth a ratio of 50 :1 ?

      Im a bit skeptical of that.

      Are you sure of this? That makes a lot of on site seo/robots.txt work down the tube, doesn't it?

      Just wondering.

        I'm pretty sure that something has recently changed about dofollow. Check this link.

        There still are several points I don't understand.

        PS. sorry guys, I can't post the link yet.

          Thanks for pointing out that article, makes very interesting reading. I think the article refers to internal and external no-follow links. I'll be interest to hear what Matt Cutts says on his blog about this

            I've used dofollow blog commenting with great success. If you find high PR in your niche it can really drive up results.

            I've done no controlled tests... I can just say that my sites rank well from it.

    Jana, that was to do with using no-follow links internally on your website to channel pagerank to where you want it.

    It used to be that if you had two links to two different internal pages from a high pagerank page on your site, the pagerank passed to each page was passed equally to each page. If one of those pages was a useless page, say an about page or privacy policy, you could no-follow that and now all the pagerank was passed to the do-follow page.

    People were abusing this to focus all the PR juice onto a small number of pages on the site, landing pages if you will.

    What Google has now done (or changed) is that no-following a link now loses that pagerank rather than funneling it into the remaining do follow page.

    But as with all these things, people are a little unsure of what is really happening. It does seem to be an odd choice and would have required a major update to Googles algorithms. It might just be propaganda designed to inhibit the practice of sculpting.

    I was talking to another seo recently who was at SES and somehow ended up with a google employee t-shirt.... He was hanging with all the google guys and he said that they were all laughing about the fact that everybody was still paying attention to nofollow... He is a very reputable source and probably wouldnt want his name mentioned with how he got the info, but test it and you will see.

    4morereferrals: just because they both show up does not mean they are both passing the same amount of link juice to your site. Most of the blog comments end up on a low PR page that has hundreds of outgoing links. Watch it over the course of a year or so and see which link is still showing up...
