Reputed SEO guy suggest unethical Ways

I have a brief chat with a reputed SEO person running sales thread in BST, I asked him that I want to improve my DA & PA and I suggest Niche targeted Blog comments. He then offered me and suggested that he can blast blog comments using software to improve DA/PA...

Would suggest members of this forum to be careful whom you hire and there techniques used for IM.

 

Using blog comments as a medium to improve DA and PA will only give you fast results but short term effect and the worst triggered a red flag from Google.

 

He only suggested something, don't know why you're so offended. I think everyone is aware that he/she should always be carefull when purchasing SEO services.
Blasting comments and other links to your tier2 can be great to improve DA/PA

 

As JoeLumbergh correctly said, you asked for the way to improve DA/PA and you get a very valid suggestion as you'd get a nice improvement in your DA/PA... so why are you so upset about the answer?

Poor Kylie, your answer is sweet as usual but lacks any insight.
He won't get any quick results with comments blast but he will get high DA/PA with those links... have to add that he won't get any ranking improvements even in Bing/Yahoo.

 

Using blog comments by using a software is a blackhat method and it would end up your site penalized by Google.

 

Rightly said, I was hinking that this Forum is turning slowly in BH Discussion place, Posters above are really deficit in knowledge about right way to build backlinks and do it the WhiteHat way.

 

jaguar34, so how do you build links the whitehat way?

PS: according to google, building links is blackhat.

 

exactly

 

edit, maybe to extreme : lol

 

I believe at some point blog commenting can still be effective if done in a right way, but based on what was suggested to you, it seems like it will be done in a spam way. Anyway, I recommend blog commenting not for link building purposes but for relationship building. It is more of building online reputation within the blog community relevant to your niche. Like for example, if you blog about health and fitness then you can join on blog communities about health and fitness too. You can create online reputation by participating/commenting or adding value within the community, and at the same time get a backlink if you are allowed too.

 

Link blasting is not out of the equation yet. You can still do it for short-term results, but for a reputable business website I would not recommend this tactic.

 

Well blog comments can be a good way to build links actually but only providing :

- Comments on articles and sites related to the niche
- Unique comments relevant to the topic
- Comments on pages with Low OBL (Outbound Links)

Now white hat would be to do this 100% manually and go through each site read the article and comment
grey hat would be to scrape all the blogs related to the niche, and blast them with manually spun comment that is actually interesting for this niche and readble by normal users
black hat would be a wide comment blast regardless of the blogs topic

I dont recommend the last approach for long term ranking and even for short term nowadays

 

No that grey hat technique would be blackhat too Gaming lover. Anything you do where you're not doing it yourself is blackhat.

 

well i guess so, white hat or black hat for this one, i would say it depends if a real user, a real person will think this is done by a robot.

 

generally blog comments directly on your site i would advise to do them manually, not abuse the anchor text, and only on valuable page with no spam links on them. a great software for that is fastblogfinder for really manual comment work.

 

You're NOT supposed to build any links (according to Google) so no matter how you comment, it's still blackhat.
I thought it was a whitehat forum where we can only discuss legit ideas to promote our sites.

 

Actually if you listen to matt cutts video blog commenting is not 100% offensive for google, as with other techniques as long as it is not automated and as you provide relevant content for the user blog comments are fine, now of course if you blast 100k generic comments on overspammed blogs ...

 

if you are interested here is matt cutts replying to the question "is link building by commenting against google webmaster guidelines if the website is topically relevant and the comment is meaningfull"



Short story is its fine and he does it himself

 

I read an article about something I blog about, I leave a comment telling the author I loved his article and it has interesting points, I link to my blog, because it has more information about the topic he was writing about. Does it get more natural than this?
Stop throwing everything in the "blackhat-corner". We should be allowed to discuss any form of SEO on this forum.

People need to understand that what google hates is mass spam, thousands of out of context links, "VIAGRA BUY CHEAP" etc.

If you go out and make some good comments linking to your quality content, you should not be afraid of google punishement, and I think it's wrong to make others paranoid by telling everyone that "this and that" is forbidden and should not even be discussed on a forum. That defeats the whole purpose of a forum.

 

Blog commenting is rookie nonsense.
