      Hello,

      I noticed a competitor site has started writing a post on linkedin and then adding the link to the article they are referencing in the comments section. I started to dig into this and came up with this useful post https://growthrocks.com/blog/linkedin-abtest-link-in-comment/ to me that all screams black hat, spamming and scamming...

      What does the Moz Community think?

      Sincere thanks for feedback and I hope you're safe - wherever you are...

      Rhiannon

        From my point of view, as long as it's done in a natural way and not in a spammy way, it should not count as black hat.
