I recently started blog commenting and guest blogging which I find it helps a lot in link building and competitors’ research helps me a lot to know where they are getting the powerful backlinks.

About re-purposing content. It’s a great idea. Definitely, I am going to use it.

Very informative article!!!

Guest posting is an awesome way to generate backlinks to your site, Mia! Think of it as an “I scratch your back, you scratch mine” tactic where you provide great content to bloggers in exchange for a backlink on your author bio. Repurposing content is definitely something you should try and invest in doing for a long time. I’ve detailed further how you can repurpose old blog posts into something new here: https://christopherjanb.com/blog/content-repurposing

You pretty much explained why people still employ comment backlinks as part of their SEO strategy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jane!

Comment backlinks work but not in the way you’d expect. Backlinks in comments no longer move the needle like it used to back in the day – there’s still value to it, but there are other types of backlinks that will make an impact on your search rankings. If anything, comment backlinking is a good source of referral traffic, especially if your comments are extremely useful to the readers of the post and the backlinks are contextually relevant to your comment.

Hello, Jan!

You can link out to the homepage on the author bio. Normally, most sites that accept guest post permit this, although there are some who are stingy when it comes to links included by the guest blogger. IF you want to link to the body of your content, it’s best to link to specific pages on your blog as long as it is contextually relevant to what you’re discussing on your blog.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Freddy! Agree 100% with everything you said. While hiring a link builder is a good way to strengthen your link profile, nothing beats good, old linkbait content where people natural link back to your content due to the usefulness and value it offers.

Awesome tips! Personally, I find blog commenting and guest blogging to be very effective ways to build links ethically.

In fact with those two methods links are a sweet by=product – I get to build a lot of genuine relationships with other bloggers and potential customers.

Social media is powerful too! So repurposing content to share in social media is a wonderful idea 🙂

Thanks for putting this up.

Cheers,
Jane.

What is your opinion about the comment backlinks? Do you think comment backlinks can work in 2018 and beyond or you think they only increase the spam score?
