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.

Sponsored blog posts
Hello everyone! I am constantly receiving offers from content writers looking for blogs to post content for their clients and offering to pay me to add 'relevant' articles to my blog. My question is: Is this a good idea? And if so, what should I charge? My main concern is if accepting these posts would damage our reputation in SEO terms. Any help would be much appreciated. Stay safe! Ken - www.naturalfrenchsoap.com

Will pillar posts create a duplication content issue, if we un-gate ebook/guides and use exact copy from blogs?
Hi there! With the rise of pillar posts, I have a question on the duplicate content issue it may present. If we are un-gating ebook/guides and using (at times) exact copy from our blog posts, will this harm our SEO efforts? This would go against the goal of our post and is mission-critical to understand before we implement pillar posts for our clients.

Difference between anchor text pointing to an article in our section pages and the title of our article
My concern is described more in details in the following hypothetic scenario(basically this is the same method that CNN site applies to its site): In one page i have a specific anchor text e.g. "A firefighter rescued a young boy" and this one is linked to an article which if you enter you will see that it has a different title than the anchor text/short title that i mentioned above. So the internal titlte of the article is "A firefighte rescued a young boy in Philippines while it was rainy". I want to know whether this is a good SEO practice or not. Regards, Christos

Getting links on competitor's blog
An SEO agency I'm working with has asked if we're okay with guest posting on a competitor's blog. What are the negatives of getting a link from a competitor's blog? Two things I thought of: They can remove the link at any time - why wouldn't you as a competitor? I generally don't want to alert my competition what I'm doing for SEO and how I'm doing it. Is that enough to not pursue those links? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Is Guest Blogging the Next Link Buying
I like the guest blogging idea for two reasons. One, it builds links, and two, it allows me to add content to a lot of blogs that are really interested in growing a lot of good content. But I often read articles that give credit to another article, that give credit to another article. I have been offered plenty of documents for client blogs, but I am worried that at some point in the future Google will decide all this guest blogging is similar to link trading and selling. What does everyone else think of guest blogging?
