I was reading on one of the blogger’s post in which she has emphasized on commenting on other blogs and leaving your blog link in those comment . What made me shock was that she was encouraging others to search for blogs that have no posts for the last one year so that you can bombard those blogs with your links in your comments.
To be very honest this is the funniest thing I have ever read on any blog that is related to link development . Now why I call this dirty ! You are spamming other blogs (that are dead) just for the sake of gaining more back links . Even if the comments are published without moderation and the blogs are do-follow blogs still I call it dirty and not worth the time you put in for getting those links .
There are many disadvantages in getting links like the method described above by my fellow blogger .
- You are wasting time for getting links from dead blog .
- Even if your comment is published without moderation , still do not expect it to be indexed by search engine spiders since spiders do not show much generosity to the blogs that are not updated frequently .So those links are not counted as backlinks if they are not indexed !
Instead I will advise to comment naturally on other blogs . Just comment if you find something interesting and have got more to add to the post . If you follow these guidelines then I am sure that most of your comments will be published and they will be worth the time you spent as they will not only give you back links but will also be visible to a larger audience and if you sound well then you will get traffic from those comments .
For instance I participate in various forums (Since forums can provide more backlinks) and I only post when I have something different to add to the discussion. Many will find my response helpful and they end up following me to my blog here. So use some common sense and think for a longer term. You can spam the system and get away for a while but in a long run you are in no mans land.
