How to post comments in blogs to avoid Google penalty

sniperhiga · 11-23-2007, 02:11 AM

I was just wondering. I read a lot of blogs and i always leave commentts for posts i like signing my real name and link to my website.

Now here is the problem... can Google think that i am a spammer or something like this because i have many comment links with and without "nofollow".

What an interesting question. And no. I don't think so. What kind of comments to you leave anyway? And how many? Like 100 per day or what?

I do think that blog comment spam will be a target for G if people don't stop abusing it.

I think it all depends on the owner of the blog. IMO, all comments can be managed by the blog owner, right? Now, its all up to the owner regarding this. But I don't think comments are a big deal. After all, its a comment right? any words that a visitor might leave to a blog is only base on its blog. therefore its related. I know that spam comments is impossible not to encounter, that is where managing comments come in.

Not all, some visitors just drop nonsense irrelevant comment.

You mean some, we don't have the statistic yet of how many have a no follow and do follow attribute in blog comments, right?

I have over 50 favorite blogs on my iGoogle page. All this blogs related to SEO and Web development. I write a lot of comments arguing, supporting, wondering, suggesting etc...
I kind of afraid that soon backlinks from blog post comments will reach over 1000...

sniperhiga · 11-24-2007, 10:52 PM

I have idea... i will create one page website with my name as domain. On this site i can write personal information about myself and my websites. If blogger or person who read this blog like my ideas they can visit my websites through this personal site.

I doubt you would be penalized for it.

You said reaching almost 1,000 comments?
I think the backlinks from your comments it would be good for your site not bad... But Using your name is not good for SEO anchor text though.

I dont think G will penalize the blogs. But if it looks like spamming, then G would penalize

Posting comments on blog posts is not a bad thing as it helps a lot in terms of traffic, however google do not consider it as backlink but also google is not going to penalise for it if it had done properly in a natural manner. But if you are spamming through posting comments then just avoid as spamming is always a bad practise.

Are you sure about that? I have many blog comments showing up as backlinks from G.

no problem at all.

wayzee · 11-26-2007, 07:16 AM

i also think you should be not in a problem

loans4me · 12-20-2007, 02:58 AM

I am also doing the same, but as we all know that most of the Blogs have no follow tag in the comments section. That is why I think google has no reason to call us spammers.

Other than a link these comments gives nice traffic to your website. Traffic through this comments are really the quality traffic...

Google will not call us spammers unless we used blog comments as the form of giving comments, opinions, suggestions , feedbacks and promoting of your site.
The best things you do is to moderate the blog posting as not to get spam.

I don't think so. A worst, Google will give links in blog comments less value.

The reason why they use nofollow is to prevent the PR link juice not pass to another page...

I think Google is starting to look into this... 1 thing I've noticed is that blogger already removed the URL option in comments section... Sniperhiga has a reason to be worried...
