Are blog links still counting for Google?

    Hello,

    I recently had some offer to buy links on software related blog sites. I have a Free Software Downloads Archive site and I am really interested in collaborating with people writing blogs about software and stuff.
    I am interested to know if links on blog pages are really counting for PR and SERPS. Is it worth it?

    Yea, if the blog post is related it should work a treat. In fact i even did a little experiment last year that showed how well posts on related blogs work.

    if there is not nofollow on that link, links from blogs will be counted as backlinks

    Blog links definitely help a lot. A link from a related blog can bring traffic and users to your site / blog and also help in counting as backlinks for your site / blog.

    Yeah it's true, they can help tremendously in building your backlinks. Just make sure rel=nofollow isn't being used if you're link is being posted in a comment, WordPress has this turned on by default, but its fairly easy to turn off with a bit of code.

    IMO links in posts on quality blogs(many quality and realted links pointed at blog, fresh, unique and useful content) is still the most quality links for google.

    Quality blog link (from content) is worth the same as a quality link from a site (froma content). Its sinmple as that.

    Links in comments have nofollow tag so they don't have any value.

    I always thought it was the PR of the blog/site linking back to you. Shouldn't matter if it is a blog or not.

    bujes, didn't realize that about comment links. Thanks

    I saw many blogs where comment do NOT have nofollow tag. Did anyone else see them?

    Also, some people here say that even if nofollow is present, the link still counts.

    Links from blogs related to your site are great for SEO.

    what's the reason a blog wouldn't let visitors post signature lines?

    Blog links are great because they are surrounded by descriptive text about the link.
