    Guys i have a question...

    i have seen a few PR5 blogs and some of their individual stories have good PR ( 3 - 4 )

    my question is if i post comments on these blogs with a link to my site will it be counted as a backlink ? (that is the high pr page wud be the referrar )

    the same question is would it work if sig links on a good pr thread wud help in my pr ?

    Sorry if its posted earlier i tried to search but cudnt find it.

    Hoping to get some help..!

    Thats a good question - could I add and ask on behalf of forum topics? If the topics have reletively good PR does that carry over to your site too??

    Cheers

    Firstly if you want to be ethical only post a blog comment or thread reply if you have something meaningful to say, don't just do it for the link, if you have a blog you know what it's like to get spam comments.

    With regards to PR transfer and SERPs, forum links can help but bear in mind how many links a typical thread has, any PR gain would be severely diluted. You'll also find with blogs most use the no follow tag, so in theory search engines don't even follow them.

    View the source code and see if there's a rel=nofollow on the <a> tag.

    Absolutely! Very frustrating to see several spam comments in my guest book everyday. Most the comments are meaningless and are only for the sake of backlink :mad:. I always delete such comments immediately ;)
