SEO Tip of the Week: Google’s Latest Comments on the Blog Commenting Spam
Saturday, November 28, 2009
I wanted to write a quick blog post this weekend regarding the recent blog post that Google made regarding blog commenting spam. Their is alot of confusion saying the blog commenting spam can hurt both site’s rankings. This is absolutely untrue and let me make one quick statement to explain this.
If blog commenting spam can hurt both site’s rankings, then why not go build 10,000 of them to your competitors with the exact same anchor text on all links?
For that exact reason above, this is not true. Now, let me say that if you have a backlink profile that has this type of links from the blog commenting then those links can/will be devalued it seems and yes they could then decrease your backlinks which would inturn lower your rankings. But do not believe that they can hurt you in any other way then those links being devalued for the pages/anchor text you were going after.
Hopefully this will explain a little more insight into the latest comments/posts floating around the internet.
I think the confusion is from the comment on the Webmaster Central Blog “Once you’ve cleared the spammy inbound links you made, you can file a reconsideration request”.
Doesn’t the rel=”nofollow” stop commenter’s links from being a problem?
