Is Blog Commenting a Link Building Strategy?
Leaving comments on blogs used to be one of the well-known strategies to build up backlinks. But after WordPress & other blogging platforms started using the nofollow tag as default to combat comment SPAM, leaving comments on blogs cannot be considered as a link building strategy purely from an SEO point of view. But there are other benefits associated with it.
Benefits of Blog Commenting
- Comments & links left on a blog which has the default nofollow tag will not count towards your page rank. But it should be remembered that to make your link building natural, you should leave comments of nofollow blogs as well.
- There are a lot of blogs out there that do not agree with the default use of nofollow tag and modify the tag to dofollow attribute. These “dofollow” blogs reward their visitors for commenting by passing on link juice to your site. This helps increase your page rank.
