Does paying someone to blog about your site, or having article with a link back to your site on someones blog really help with seo? Is it better than buying links?
Its better than buying links i suppose because, it appears to Google as more of a natural link, also you can have a few deep links in the blog post which helps too.
Yep, blog posts helps alot specially in serps I purchased blog posts several times here from dp members and it affected my site's serps greatly! Saad
it could be better than a single text link. But relevancy is always the key whenever you buy a link. If a blog link is irrelevant, I don't think you can really take advantage of it.
I was looking just now for the search term "buying blog posts for SEO", and i saw this thread pop up in Google, I remember posting here the other day, I wanted to get more of a description about buying blog posts as i am developing Buyablogpost.com (I'm not spamming) I need to get a better write up about what blogs can actually do for a websites search engine position. So, some key points that i have found from researching about blog posts. 1.Technoratia rating 2.If the blog use tags, and if the tags have PR then it will count as a backlink 3.As i already mentioned in my first post, Deeplinks 4.Blogs are more commonly seen in social bookmarking sites and it seems more natural, so if you buy a blog post make sure you get the article dugg many time and add to delicious and all that, it will bring more traffic to the site your promoting in the post. Hope that helps (Im looking for a 5th now, )
Blogposts or incontent links are nice and natural way for link building. Also you get almost permanent listing with those cheap prices.
My fear in buying blog posts is that once the post is off the front page, it will not even be in the google index. When buying blogposts, it is best to check the archives of the blog. If the archives are in the index and have PR, then, blog posts might offer a better avenue for advertising as they are in-context.
I feel it's better in term of SEO and it may bring direct traffic too. If you have chance of getting into a blog that is well read, you will get load of traffic too.
