If you're going to spam then use www.example.com because if that anchor text gets suppressed no one is typing that in anyway to find you.
-
And many have community managers that will ban people for comments with links if that appears to be the main reason for commenting on a post. I ban several each day here at Moz.
-
Its also important to note that practically all blogging platforms NoFollow the links in the comments.
-
I think the first two will give you a link back as the third one isn't a url unless you use it as anchor text.
By the way, I wouldn't build links by commenting on blog posts because it may look like spam, I would rather focus on earning links with your content.

Somebody took an article from my site and posted it on there own site but gave it credit back to my site is this duplicate content?
Hey guys, This question may sound a bit drunk, but someone copied our article and re-posted it on their site the exact article, however the article was credited to our site and the original author of the article had approved the other site could do this. We created the article first though, Will this still be regarded as duplicate content? The owner of the other site has told us it wasn't because they credited it. Any advice would be awesome Thanks

Blogger relationship - One Off VS periodic monthly blogging (which is best)
Good day all, I am interested in building relationships with my bloggers (i.e...people that are interested in my website and blog about it regularly). I would also propose to them the idea of blogging about our page regularly, perhaps recurring monthly. If the strategy is in place, could receiving links from the same bloggers each month cause any negative SEO effects? Thanks for your input.

Article Re-posting / Duplication
Hi Mozzers! Quick question for you all. This is something I've been unsure of for a while. But when a guest post you've written goes live on someone's blog. Is it then okay it post the same article to your own blog as well as Squidoo for example? Would the search engines still see it as duplication if I have a link back to the original?

Article Submission, is it Spam?
When looking at my competitors in Open Site Explorer, I see that most of them have hundreds of links from articles that are meaningless to a human with one or two links to their site using keywords in the last paragraph. My guess is that these companies used an article creation/submission service since the article isn't 100% related to the link, but it is close. Should I do this as well? Is it spam? All of these sites rank higher than me for all terms and have higher scores in the competitive analysis.
