You may be aware, that many blog posts are completely pointless in terms of backlinks.

There’s nothing wrong with doing something in order to get something back in return, as long as you are actually giving, then you deserve to receive in return. If you’re giving good content by replying to my blog posts with decent, valuable idea’s, opinions & information, then you deserve a backlink to your website in return, that’s fair.

If you’re trying to get backlinks by posting very short & pointless replies, then that’s not fair, that doesn’t earn you a backlink, as you’re not adding value - the software I use is very clever at sifting out these kind of something for nothing comments, and won’t allow them to be published, I also check all posts manually, so even if it does make it on, it won’t be on for long.

Also - if you’re trying to get backlinks to websites which do not offer good value in terms of the content, for example if you’re linking to a website consiting purely of scraped articles & google adsense, or to websites which have absolutely no relevance to my area of interest (SEO, web marketing, online business, small business, entrepreneurism) then these backlinks won’t stay either. This is nothing to do with not wanting valuable link juice to flow to none relevant or poor quiality sites - it has everything to do with the experience of my visitors.

So, as long as you’re contributing to my blog posts with genuine replies, that add value to my blog, for my other visitors, and as long as your website appears to have value in terms of original content, that is relevant to web marketing, SEO, online business, then contribute all you like - and in return your backlinks will be left where they are, and they will count as I do not use the Nofollow attribute.
