Back Linking on Off Topic Blogs

Search Engine Optimization May 15, 2013
Backlinking on off-topic blogs does not help your Website Ranking

Backlinking on off-topic blogs does not help your Website Ranking.

It will not help your marketing.
Does not help your sales.
It will not help you get clicks and will not help your positioning.

Above all, it does not help your SEO.

I have been reviewing my comments and finding both off-topic and on-topic comments that are not relevant. In most cases, they end with a text link, such as “Tennis Shoes,” “Cheap Vacations,” “Viagra,” and so on. Dropping text and links in this way is laughable. It is bad business. While I have left my commenting open and believe in free speech, it is frustrating to see some spamming.

Websites, blogs, and directories using this method

Suppose you were to post 100,000 links on numerous websites, blogs, and directories using this method. In that case, it makes more sense to approach a web administrator or business owner with open honesty and ask for a link to a resource page.

Follow this equation:

On-topic, relevant links on an appropriate blog or website will mean more to your SEO marketing efforts than hundreds of off-topic, spammy links. (like the ones you’ll find in some of my comment sections).

    Thank you for your article! I'm new to all of this (just completed an seo training), so I truly appreciate the guidance.

    Well Jennifer.. I decided to allow your comment since you were at least smart enough to link your name and not an SEO search term. So bravo and 2 stars on your lunch box.

    Cheers, Rick
