Do comments affect SEO and page ranking?

I am still a bit confused, so do you think this means do not comment on the need to blog? sorry if this question is a bit silly, because I am still learning.

 

Nice comments with no linkback to comment senders on your blog is fine. But irrlevant comments with backlinks is worst and approval of such comments are sign of newbie webmaaster.

 

thank you for your input and suggestions RamCity, but my experience, many of them who commented to a hidden hope and purpose. CMIIW

 

Disagree. Appropriate comments to your blog add to the discussion will contribute with "fresh content". It also helps to raise new ideas and exchange thoughts with your readers. That is the reason why in my blog all comments are DOFOLLOW. Because I value interesting comments.

You need however to prevent automatic blog comment submission - that is why I use a mechanism such as Discus to prevent automatic blog spamming. There are plenty other means apart from this to prevent automatic spamming. And I ruthlessly trash every comment that is generic and does not provide anything interesting. You want a DO-FOLLOW link? Then make useful comments! (Spammers, beware: It takes me less time to trash your comment than you to generate it )

 

There is no use by spam commenting. Spam commenting are done by some scripts that why we got comments that are not relevant to our contents.

 

Commenting in do follow sites really helps in getting good rank but it doesnot contain spamming content.

 

Blog Comments are always effective for giving backlinks as well as traffic.

 

Yes, but in blog of newbies.

 

yes Blog Commenting is the effective strategy of Off-Page SEO. It helps us for improve KW position.

 

I wouldn't even think twice about it...disable it!!!

 

Another newbie seo.

Yes you are right. Why shouldn't we edit the comments and remove the links from them?

 

Yes, for sure it will create image of yours in the big G's eyes, for the reason that, there is a big NO for spamming. Approve comments that you think are worthy to keep it on, else, trash is the destination.

secondly, in order to be in a safe belt, ad "no-follow" tag to your blog.

I think they do affect your site, you certainly don't want to have a site about electronic gadgets and have it littered with weight loss backlink comments

 

Comments does effect in a way, if you have a blog and you get comments for your posts, you get to know what are your drawbacks, what you need to improve, what you need to avoid, its like a direct contact with the visitors which does help you improve your contents of your site, which plays very important role in page ranking.

 

If blog comment is relevant and approved your link than its help to improve page rank, and traffic your site

 

How much you know about Page Rank?

Please share, to achieve PR1 how many backlinks from blogs you will need?

 

Any backlinks I see are good backlinks, including comments & forum posts.

 

Comment posting is not a part of SEO. Just use it for back links.

 

Why any smart webmaster will approve your link attached your comment in his blogs?

 

But See As Per my experience blog commenting wont work for u ? but if u spend some time on question and answer websites their u might be having a chance of getting sales and backlinks
