Hi all, Just to set the record straight.... Is blog commenting classified as black hat? I have done some looking on-line and some people say it is while others say its completely fine. I cant understand why if I comment on a blog and leave my link where it asks you too, and its a legitimate comment it may be classed as black hat Many thanks
It depends, it can be both white and black dependant on how you go about it. If you're making relevant comments on niche related blogs, it would be considered white when done in moderation. WebDev
It is not black hat if you are contributing to the blog! You can see lots of bloggers are commenting on each other's blog for promoting their blog but they do quality and relevant works.
Blog commenting is white hat if you are adding value to the post. Don't post stuff like "Nice site, check out my link blah blah blah" that is considered bad backlinking. Your comment will probably be removed by the site owner if you post stuff like that. Actually read through the post and make relevant comments.
You should have relevant comments to the topic of the post then it will not be black hat! Do not spam to avoid your comment to be removed.
Lmfao at LinkSolution, that's one lesson. Some overseas person making a fake profile with a Google image of some female and only looking in WTS areas so they can steal.
It depends - if you're genuinely taking part in a community and discussion, then referencing a relevant post that happens to be yours might be OK, as long as it pertains to an actual discussion. But blog commenting for the sake of a link is spam (black or whatever colour hat you want to call it).
No, it's not exactly called black hat techniques.If you're using any techniques to only getting a link through a general way 'awesome post, woooww! liiks very nice etc etc....' this way we can consider as a spammy links.
If you comment your related business blog and minimum outbound link and real comment will give you good result.
this is not about black hat and white hat. You can marks as spam if you do to much comment in one time campaign. do it slowly, manual and choose related topic with your site
I think if you comment on real blogs and write real helpful comments it is worth it from a SEO and marketing point of view do slowly and manually..
No , Blog Commenting is not a black hat seo . It is a nice way for getting back-links form any sites.
Blog Commenting is not a part of BlackHat SEO..It is best way to generate traffic plus Google index quickly
it is not a black hat.But it depend on you comments.if you comments are "Good post",Nice post" such comments are a block hat and if you comment related to blog then it is white hat.
Blog commenting is white hat but it will be considered spamming if you will comment without reading the blog.
