I totally agree with you Rohit, The people behind search engine algorithms are far smarter than us and they know how easily one can earn a link by commenting on Dofollow blogs. However i think that commenting on blogs increases your exposure and also builds your reputation, so instead of worrying whether your link is gonna count by SE’s or not one should see the other benefits of blog commenting.

Hmm… does “link juice” really follow that division thingy? I’m sure Google would have thought about it, and probably has some much more “intelligent” method. It might “pour in” or “suck out” some more juice if it feels the page is worth it.

The last three points make complete sense. With the millions of blogs, I’m sure Google has come up with a technique to differentiate between the main content and the comments section. And comments outside your niche won’t get you targeted audience or search engine rankings.

@Avi @Utkarsh I am happy that you find this article helpful. Google does follow the “link juice” system for spreading authority.

@Romantic SMS: You are correct, Commenting must me done to increase exposure and not for SEO intentions..

I agree with you .Dofollow is now used only for link spammers,but they are of less value now

@techpage: You are exactly right.. But most people misuse it ..

I think you are right that the Link Juice definitely get divided …
Commenting should be done to get more exposure…and not just for backlinks so Nofollow or dofollow does not matter…

Btw Your Blog Comments are Dofollow??

@Lucifer: Yeah.. This blog is Do-Follow! But he Do-Follow attribute is activated only when any person posts 10 comments here..

In my opinion Blogs commenting is a way to increase traffic on your site no matter blog is do-follow or no-follow.

I think your article would carry much more weight if you could cite a source from Google for your conclusions. Alternatively, citing a case study or some other type of data. Your conclusions sound sensible, but how do you draw your conclusions? Just because it sounds right, doesn’t mean it is right.

@Social News: I have personally carried out a case study and have come to these conclusions!

Rohit! It’s one of my favorite name. Anyway nice post man. Actually i do believe people shouldn’t think too much about backlink. If anyone like any post he will link that post. So we should just create quality content. Of course commenting on blogs help to get backlink even it’s nofollow and it’s natural. How? Well if you comment on blogs people will get noticed about your blog and if they like your post they will link to it and you will get natural backlink. Thanks

Great article, I have been trying to preach this to so many people that just don’t want to hear it! They have been trained to go after “do-follow” links on blogs, forums, article directories etc, etc, etc… waste of time!

I counted 97 outgoing links on this page (and I didn’t count the share buttons at the bottom of the post, so over 100), it has n/a PR (not to say that it won’t one day get some PR), so even if you have made 10 comments on this site and get a do-follow link, it is worthless, literally.

I have carried out case studies of my own, and people would also be surprised at how much your outlinks may weigh into your PR as well….

@Keith: People are so Crazy behind Do-Follow Comments that they are not ready to believe anyone..I hope they will realize it some day (and hope that day comes very soon)

@Alamin: Exactly, this is what I want to say.. Concentrate on creating quality content and promote it. You will get backlinks on your own. Commenting must be for your promotion not backlinks..

All of this is so true. Blog comments on DoFollow blogs don’t seem to be worth much, if anything. The only success I’ve found is writing articles because the links within the articles wind up above the fold. It seems to make a huge difference where that link is on the page.

Good post, but I have had great success with dofollow. I put together a new site, Wiki Dofollow. It is a community compiled list of high ranking dofollow sites. That way, the list stays current.

What a comprehensive overview about dofollow comment and the effects

I think comment at dofollow or nofollow blogs same important for me to add friends

whether it is good to give “no follow:index” for all of my post[articles] to prevent leakage of link juice ??

some says that giving Do-follow is very good for SEO as google crawl the site much ….

@Tricks Tips: Its good to give Do-Follow to all the In-bound links to your site. We are discussing the External Do-Follow Comment links here..

In my experience blog comments are still (somewhat) useful for SEO, especially if you are getting them from the right blogs. There are many variables that come into play. One of them is the number of other comments on any given post.

If you have a choice of commenting on a nofollow or dofollow blog, obviously the dofollow is better assuming everything else about the two blogs is equal.

It might not make a huge difference, but those little differences can add up, especially if you do a lot of commenting.

Someone who is serious about SEO should be looking for other methods to use for getting keyword anchored dofollow links pointing at the pages they want to rank. I agree that using comments as a primary method to build links directly back to your money site beyond a certain point is not an efficient use of your time.

@Kathy: Do-Follow are better than No-Follow but their helpfulness towards SEO is very limited.

Thanks for making your blog dofollow buddy. One of the major benefits if dofollow blog commenting services is that it gives an opportunity for building links.

Thanks for the information of comment in blogs dofollow

I agree with most of what you say I don’t think you can back up DoFollow comments on Blogs outside-your-Niche are irrelevant.

For instance my blog is a dofollow blog and if I have an anchor text called “blogs about everything” in the comment section that was dofollow, do you think google is going to differentiate and give or not give weight to that link based on my niche?

This article is about dofollow blog comments not important in seo,so in your theory the only dofollow links that will get credit are blogs that are related to dofollow or seo?

If you have a source to dispute this I would love to see it. Thanks for sharing your views.

Also regardless of how miniscue comment links may be,sometimes that is all it takes for someone trying to rank for a longtail keyword phrase, but you still need links from various sources so I don’t recommend links only from dofollow comment blogs.

Google crawlers consider next variables:
- the PR of the page you link from
- the authority of the page you link from
- the PR of the page you link to (linking a PR 0 to a PR 9 is less efficient then linking to a PR 3).
- the anchor text of the link
- the density of the anchor text in the content of the page you link from (how relevant is your anchor text to the content).
- the density of the anchor text in the page you link to (how relevant is the anchor t6o the content it links to).
- the relevancy of the optimal keyword density on the page you link from to the optimal keyword density on the page you link to(content relevance between the page you link to and the page you link from in terms of dominant keywords)
- the total number of external links on the page you link from.
- no-follow decreases 80% of page authority; robots DO FOLLOW NO-FOLLOW LINKS to calculate how often websites link to you.
- the age of the domain your page is hosted on.
- the frequency of “linking to” (how often are websites on the Internet linking to pages on your website?)
- the number of different websites that link back to your pages.
- your website structure (internal links)
…..

All this data are inserted in a really complicated formula…

Things that less matter to Google since July 2010:
- duplicated content
- how fast you add new content to your websites pages
- how many domains you have on the same IP

Things Google consider since July 2010:
- the searching preferences of the Internet user. Google puts a cookie on the client’s computer and keeps track of what the user is searching and what he clicks on the SERP.
.. and more

SO, do-follow links on comment pages could help, or could not help. it depends on the 34.988.302.433 billions of variables

@Catalin: Great Information. Thanks and I completely agree with you.. It depends on many factors..

It is very usefull information .But do the anchor text in the comment increase the keyword ranking or not?this is my doubt

Depends on the Number of comments a particular post is getting and the page rank of that page!!

Great information on do-follow blog comment. It makes sense that this kind of do-follow links didn’t give much link juice value. What I did is “to increase the number of domains linking to my site” and get more people notice about my blog.

Great article on the real explanation behind dofollow/nofollow.

Exactly why you shouldn’t pay attention to whether links are followed and what PR a page has when a) building links and b) contributing to other sites.

Thanks for great information on do-follow blog comments.

Hi..we have done seo for many of our clients and regularly write seo articles for other blogs….niche relevancy is only a matter if you are concentrating on micro niche…but if u have a vast blog..comment everywhere..

Good post – make sense the more links sharing a page the less value google will give to them

It’s awesome… Very good and Very-2 informative. Thanks: For sharing!!!

I think blog commenting is the way through which we increase traffic to our site but also enjoy a backlink trough dofollow blogs.

On a side note: i think its extremely important for the webmaster or editor to take control of the comments. There is no point including comments for the sake of vanity – you should edit out the rubbish and just include on target useful information. Whilst timely, monitoring content is key

Very nice thing you have shared thank you for it.

Interesting read, now I would by no means suggest I am a tech geek or suggest I fully understand the way google catalogues websites for presentation – however, I have definitly found that my SERPS ranking improves when I target certain keywords through blog commentating – therefore I beleive that blog commenting has a big part to play in my SEO.

Mr. Lowdham

Thank you. I honestly heard a lot of debate how important is there links, now i hear they are not. I am sure they are not as important as the one in the top of the page, but as a manner of not worthy at all, i don’t think that is true, they certainly wouldn’t harm.

Thanks for sharing

I want to say that do follow backlinks is very important for seo, but you need to have and no-follow backlinks, that looks more natural for google

Awesome post and very well written. I like your blog very nice blog great going and keep posting.
