I was looking at posting quality comments to blog entries as a way of building backlinks. But I see most carry a nofollow tag in the link. Do SERPs count these links in their backlink counts? Or should I just stick to forum posting with a signature link?
Not to mention you are spamming so most of your comments will either be moderated out or be on what soon becomes a link farm page. I decided from the beggining to remove the no follow tags from my blog but I actually hand moderate every single comment. That means many times the most valuable links are the hardest to get without contributing.
Who said I was spamming? I stated I would be adding quality posts not spam or advertisements. Most blogs ask for your domain name and link your name to it automatically. I have occassionally put a url in the post only when it seemed to coincide closely with the subject. Anyway thanks for answering my question.
It can help with getting your site crawled more often if it is a new site. Obviously I dont condone spamming blogs. But if you have something valuable to include and participate in their blog. Then the benefit is for both parties. Brad
I am not 100% sure about this, but I didn't think SEs would crawl your page is there is a nofollow tag. If this is correct, then it won't affect how often your site is crawled.
It will not help your site to be crawled more, the crawler will just neglect a nofollow tag. The only way this could benefit you is that if the place you are posting a comment on is related to your site, then you can get some traffic from that name depending on good or bad your comment was.
