      Hi All,

      I have joined a new company and I am supposed to post relevant comments to blog articles. In the comment I want to provide them the source like

      1. www.example.com

      2. example.com

      3. example

      which of the above 3 will give me the maximum benefit with the backlinking.

        I think the first two will give you a link back as the third one isn't a url unless you use it as anchor text.

        By the way, I wouldn't build links by commenting on blog posts because it may look like spam, I would rather focus on earning links with your content.

          Its also important to note that practically all blogging platforms NoFollow the links in the comments.

            And many have community managers that will ban people for comments with links if that appears to be the main reason for commenting on a post. I ban several each day here at Moz.

              If you're going to spam then use  www.example.com because if that anchor text gets suppressed no one is typing that in anyway to find you.

                You may also want to read the Beginner's Guide to SEO, especially the section on building links at http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links.
