Blogging for backlinks

[JML1179]

I have a real estate website. I would like to start blogging on blogs not related to real estate. I like reading web design, html, css, php, word press etc... blogs. I want to start talking to the bloggers using my real name (not keyword anchor text) on their blog. I'd like to have authentic conversations; however, will this confuse google about my site?

If I am using my name as anchor text on sites about webdesign and linking back to a real estate website, what will that do to the SEO?

It's also important to consider one other detail. I have determined through link building in real estate related fields that it's really hard to find good domains/page rank when compared to the fields above. I could get a dozen great links in 10 minutes on the above subjets AND be legitimately engaging in conversation with my name, not keywords...

Does the invention of "author rank" make this more viable?

Use the tools in open  site explorer, in the inbound links section( it says no follow)

How do you know when the blog is No Follow?

Joseph,

I am reading that you are looking to create brand awareness ( your name) as an authority?  If that is the case, great thought out content will be what works best for you.  IDK, blog commenting- we delete all of them unless it's someone with real valid interest.  We don't allow back linking because we know that is the only reason they are commenting.

Maybe create a storyline blog that takes a week to explain, day to day.  Link out to other authorities as case studies etc.

Hope that helps.
