Here are my answers:
- Blog comments are worthy, but not in the way most cheap link building providers want you to believe.
Most are nofollow links, and if they are dofollow the actual page will have many comments, so the link juice is divided in many, and few goes to your own website.
Links from blog commenting are worthy because they can bring referral traffic if you comment on blogs related to your niche and your comments are interesting.
2, 3 and 4) Many so called SEO companies offer the blog comments services because they are cheap and easy to do - they use software that automatically posts spun comments in list of blogs. In minutes they can post thousands of blog comments. Even if only 1% of those pass spam filters or are approved by mistake, or get on blogs that are not moderated they have something to show to the clients.
If you want to rephrase my answer in fewer words I can put it like this: Because spam is cheap.There are also good SEO companies that include these in their offer even if they know blog comments don't help much. They manage to get some great links by legit means, but they can't charge the client for - let's say - 10 links. Because clients want to see numbers. Wants to see "how many", not "how good".
So to have better numbers they add a few hundreds links from blog comments to the final bill, even if they now the real results will come from those only 10 good links that are not from blog comments. - Blog comments are worthy, but not in the way most cheap link building providers want you to believe.

Of course they are important, they are among the most important means for solid online relationship building. Regardless the link type (dofollow/nofollow) , interesting and ontopic comments will always make the blog owner curious about who the commentator is, what he does and what other articles he writes.

Hi,
-
Blog links are still important in a way so I believe you can say it is worthy. However, since most blogs have no=follow tag, you don't get any link juice but by providing good and informative comment, it helps build your brand and direct peopleto your website.
-
Off Page strategy is not simply build backlinks. By commenting on blogs and participating, it helps your brand build awareness and possibly increase traffic as i mentioned above.
-
As I mentioned above, majority of blogs don't give link juice in comments but people still comment because they want to participate in the community. It is another way to help your website or brand indirectly.
I believe you get the point from the answers above. Comments don't affect SEO but it still plays a role in marketing strategy such as building brand awareness and recognition, making yourself look like expert in a field., hopefully increase traffic via links and simply like to participate and network with other smart people.

Redirecting a blog
We've acquired another company and want to redirect their soon-to-be-obsolete website to ours. It includes a blog with many blog posts. Should we: only 301 redirect the top level blog URL

try redirect individual blogs to blogs of a similar topic on our site (least practical I'm sure)
redirect all their individual posts to our main blog URL Thanks, Caro1 -
Paid Links - How does Google classify them?
Greetings All, I have a question regarding "Paid Links." My company creates custom websites for other small businesses across the country. We always have backlinks to our primary website from our "Dealer Sites." Would Google and other search engines consider links from our "dealer sites" to be "paid links?" Example:
Technical SEO | | CFSSEO
http://www.atlanticautoinc.com/ is the "dealer site." Would Google consider the links from Atlantic Auto to be a "paid link," and therefor have less of an impact for page rankings, due to it not being organic? Any insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!0 -
Is it better for our Blog to be blog.domain.tld or domain.tld/blog ?
I'd dread the answer being the latter rather than the former as we've spent two years building it blog.domain... However I noticed SEOmoz are domian.tld/blog and it got me thinking.... Cheers. R.

Linking from and to pages
My website, www.kamperen-bij-de-boer.com, tells people what campingssites can be found in The Netherlands for recreational purposes. In order for a campingsite to be mentioned on our website we ask them to place a link to our website (either using a text link or image link) and then we make a page for that campsite on our website with in the end a link to ther website, e.g. http://www.kamperen-bij-de-boer.com/Minicamping-In-t-Oldambt.html -> they in return link back to us. Since this comes natural will this or won't this be penalized by Google and so on for linkfarming. At this moment we have about 600 camping sites on our website alone linking to us (not all of them) and we are linking to them. Since this can be explained as link trading which is not as good for your ranking as one-way-linking what should be wise? Should i include a nofollow? I already have many links from other sites linking to mine without having to link back, is there anything else i can do with linking to ensure better ranking?

Mini site links?
Can anyone point me to information about the "mini" site links on the Google search results or tell me how to get them set up? These aren't the full site links that show 3 by 3 under the first listing but small text links that appear for certain results. (See attached image for reference.) Are these something that can controlled/requested? NAj6E.png

InSite Linking Best Practices
When creating links within your website, is it bad to have a anchor text link pointing back to the same page? Say the page the homepage is optimized for "credit cards". If I have a "credit cards" anchor text link on the page the link points to, is that bad practice? Secondly, if it's better to put that link on a different page, wouldn't I be placing a keyword that's optimized for a different page on the wrong page? (hopefully I'm making sense) Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Links from Youtube Channel
I stumbled across this blog post: http://garyreid.com/youtube-removes-nofollow/ and also this one : http://www.kevin-barnes.com/youtube-secret-authority-loophole/ which talks about no-follow links from your Youtube Channel Page. We've setup a Youtube channel, and have begun updating it regularly, however the link appears to be a redirect-type link -presumably this means no link juice is passed? The code of the link on our Youtube channel: http://www.pretavoir.co.uk The second blog mentions building PA on your Youtube channel by commenting on other videos which then links back to your channel page - if that juice can't go to your site, then I assume the technique is of limited use? Apart from boosting your Youtube Channel's rankings of course, which I guess can't hurt.
