What holds more SEOweight, posts or blogrolls?

[jimmy0225]

Was just wondering what hold more SEO weight: a post or blogroll?  Additionally, are static html pages better to have links from or blogs?

Thanks,

Since Google's Penguin update earlier this year, it is generally accepted now that links from within blog posts are more valuable than blogroll links.

This is because blogroll links and other sitewide links, such as footer links, have a higher likelihood of being paid for, or otherwise manipulated. In fact, many webmasters hit by Penguin have requested the removal of blogroll links. Links from within blog posts, on the other hand, look more natural.

There is no real distinction between links from "static pages" and links from posts. If a page has been around for a while it is likely that the page will have accrued more Page Authority than a newly-published blog post. On the other hand, a blog post has the advantage of being current, and may itself accrue authority over time.

Depends on the content of either. Blogrolls are normally just syndicated content and I would attribute less value to those. Having said that, some blog posts are just as bad and don't necessarily contain valuable content.

_Links from Blogroll and blog posts, unless they look like they are being acquired naturally, have some risks associated with it.   Blog roll links seem to carry more risk than links coming from blog posts links. It is better if you go for blog post links and use as many variations of keywords as possible. _
