ok trading links poor sites does not help your SERPS now does blog commenting and listingyour site the same principle if you comment on a blog that is crap and not related to your site wil it have the same effects trading links with bad site?
Huge if not rabid mma fan here lol...... Links from crap sites do nothing, that includes damage. hope that helps, Nigel
i know links for crappy sits do damge BUT waht about blog commenting in a PR 3,4,5 or 6 btu not in your industry help or hurt Nigel you like u like my site BTW any tips could alway use them
That is not what I said, crappy links just don't do anything useful. They will not hurt you, they just don't serve any purpose. And sure, I will look at your site. I am a goofy little skinny guy. I love watching folks beat the crap out of each other lol... Nigel
i would say that some links could be damaging to your site/position just depends on what site the link is on really.
If a competitor can use it to damage your site, then Google doesn't factor it in to their ranking algo. I could spam my competitors sites across loads of pharma and adult sites in an attempt to get them banned, but since Google knows I can do this, it doesn't make it a factor. Now if you LINK to a bad neighbourhood, then it's a whole different ball game. Getting cheap / crap links is just a waste of time because they will have zero affect in the big G.
blog commenting is something I hold close to my heart. Yes, it can help if you comment on DOFOLLOW blogs which are thematic, but we must remember that Google is a robot and essentially for them to determine the genre of a site entirely is impossible. You should concentrate more on link building and social media to obtain links naturally.
Niche releavancy doesnt matter as much as OBL does..i dont understand how people keep buying links from pr3-7 blogs which has 400-500 OBL and is spammed like hell.. this kinda blog commenting will not help at all obviously.
As it's been said before, bad links to your site will not have any impact on your ranking. If they did, then just get crap links for your competitor, and watch them drop in rank. It's not going to happen (unfortunately). If you want a meaningful link from a blog, get your link in the content of the article. It takes work, that should go without saying, but the reward is worth it. Take the time to build a relationship with the author of the blog, share some insight with them, get to know them as a person, not as a link source. Once you do this, you'll find it's easier to get them to write a quick, yet decent, article about your site, and include a link. All of this ninja link dropping needs to stop. It gives legitimate SEOs a bad name, and it makes my job a hell of a lot harder. Build quality links, and quit doing half assed work. I'm just saying.
I do believe that blog commenting can work, but of course it depends on the niche. For me, in wine I can draw some pretty decent traffic simply by posting on some of the most popular blogs in the niche. If I were in straight IM I doubt that would be the case though.
