With this article, let's talk a little bit about blog comment backlinks. Many people swear by them. Many people claim they lead to much success. Is this true? Well, I have had many years in using blog comment backlinks for my own websites. I will explain to you right now the advantages and disadvantages to using them. With that, let's get to it!
First off, I want to quickly explain what blog comment backlinks are for those of you who don't know what they are. Backlinks in itself are links back to your website that can be built to try and influence their search engine rankings. Blog comment backlinks are a specific type that are placed on various blog postings in the comment section. These will often be placed in the website URL that is available on numerous blogs when you make a comment. So are they useful? Do they really provide any benefit?
Let's take a look at the advantages to creating blog backlinks. To start, blogs are indexed fairly regularly. There is a good chance that if you create a backlink on a blog posting, the blog posting will have already been indexed with various search engines. If they haven't, they likely will be very soon. This means your links can be found much quicker than other types of backlinks. For many, getting their backlinks indexed is as big of a task as creating the links themselves. These type of backlinks can save a lot of time.
Another advantage to blog backlinks is that they can lead to traffic in itself. Other types of links such as profile backlinks can be placed on profiles that while they may provide some boost in rankings, most people aren't going to see the links. Putting your backlinks right on blog postings can lead to additional traffic in itself. So you're getting multiple benefits.
Finally, let's go to disadvantages. Are there any disadvantages to blog backlinks? To one major disadvantage I can think of is that blog comment links will usually be nofollow. Many people believe that dofollow links are more important than nofollow backlinks. I personally believe that nofollow links can help as well, but many people believe these are less powerful. This is something to keep in mind.
I hope you have learned a bit more about blog comment backlinks and if they are right for your business. I wish you luck with your website!
