      Is commenting on no follow blogs a good way of getting back links?

        I would say not really as google do not value no follow links. However a natural looking back-link profile would consist of some no follow links in my opinion.

          I see leaving comments relating to the content on relevant blogs as being a valid part of a link building plan - this is a natural way of connecting and engaging with your target audience. As such it improves your chances of getting qualified traffic and organic links, and adds to your link diversity regardless of whether the link is no follow.

          I think it would be unwise to focus too much on this approach as an excess of this type of link would look unnatural, and would steer clear of anything approaching comment spam. The test I use when leaving a blog comment is

          • Do I have something to contribute to this conversation?
          • Can a link to my website add value to this page?

            I agree with Stores Direct...

            Blog Commenting has actual marketing value past just SEO/SEM. Now is commenting on a blog "Keyword-Keyword-Keyword-Keyword.com a good idea... Probably not or is getting thousands or even hundreds of these in a day or maybe even month depending on your current link portfolio a good idea probably not as well.

            But commenting on a post, on a reputable blog No Follow or not with a comment that is relevant and informational to the post in question is good for many things as stores direct points out, but should not be a focus to your overall strategy.

            w00t!

              Yes, it is a good idea,

              You dont want to have 100% "do follow" comments, it is simply unnatural for big G.

              just dont put to much effort into it.
