Is commenting on no follow blogs a good way of getting back links?
-
Yes, it is a good idea,
You dont want to have 100% "do follow" comments, it is simply unnatural for big G.
just dont put to much effort into it.

I agree with Stores Direct...
Blog Commenting has actual marketing value past just SEO/SEM. Now is commenting on a blog "Keyword-Keyword-Keyword-Keyword.com a good idea... Probably not or is getting thousands or even hundreds of these in a day or maybe even month depending on your current link portfolio a good idea probably not as well.
But commenting on a post, on a reputable blog No Follow or not with a comment that is relevant and informational to the post in question is good for many things as stores direct points out, but should not be a focus to your overall strategy.
w00t!

I see leaving comments relating to the content on relevant blogs as being a valid part of a link building plan - this is a natural way of connecting and engaging with your target audience. As such it improves your chances of getting qualified traffic and organic links, and adds to your link diversity regardless of whether the link is no follow.
I think it would be unwise to focus too much on this approach as an excess of this type of link would look unnatural, and would steer clear of anything approaching comment spam. The test I use when leaving a blog comment is
- Do I have something to contribute to this conversation?
- Can a link to my website add value to this page?
-
I would say not really as google do not value no follow links. However a natural looking back-link profile would consist of some no follow links in my opinion.

Making the most of a good back link
Hi Guys. We recently acquired a really good backlink from a charity site that has high DA. 71/100 on Open site explorer. I understand traffic is also a key component in a backlinks value, not just the DA. Is it worth spending time and energy (we don't have much as it's the lead up to Christmas) encouraging people onto the blog post to hopefully get some extra traffic through that link? And more generally, how much does traffic effect the value of link? Any insights would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Isaac.

Cluster of outbound links on blog
Hi, If a blog has a section which contains 40 outbound links almost like a blogroll do you think Google looks at this cluster as suspicious? Could this come across like paid links to Google?

Is it even worth getting a link from PR0-2 , unrelated themed sites?
Is it even worth getting a link from PR0-2 , unrelated themed sites like http://www.area-rug-news.com/ or http://www.denvercohomerentals.com/ to my PR4 health training site that has been around since 2007? Can getting a sitewide blogroll link do more harm than good?
