Does posting links in comment sections viable anymore?

[Heatman]

If you have been posting links on comments on websites in the past, it's because it's allowed then but right now, it's totally against any platform rules and regulations and it's frowned at.

Instead of adding link in the comment section, you should put your link on the box for url. A lot of website owners consider the comment spam when it contain links.

I think times have changed and dropping links in comments isn't that viable anymore and not only do they get blocked they also get ignored most of the time now too

Its still viable, i see lots of contents created by people having pernalinks that display other websites contents. That can help to promote other websites and improve their traffic. Its simply a nice way to do sponsored posts.

As a result of a lot of scams going on in the world today and especially through online platforms, it's been ruled out by websites owners to post links in the sites to prevent scams.

I think sharing links on the comment box, whether you are doing on forums or on blogs will considered spamming. You should use profile link or signature link instead

Exactly, it's actually based on the issue of spamming that most webmasters don't fancy having links being posted on the site they own. If it's used as a signature, it's very good.

One every important thing that people do not put into consideration is that are you posting such links to people that will be interested, because mist people would treat as spam.

The issue with forum spamming or website spamming has been one of the major challenges that it's facing the use of links on websites which makes website owners not to agree to that kind of thing happening in the website.

It is nolonger as popular and effective as it used to before, as most people see such acts as what scammers would usually do, not to mention the fact that most sites do not accept this and would consider it as spamming. Some even go ahead to block such users as well

 

[Heatman]

Personally if I have a website I'm definitely not going to allow any kind of lame to be posted on my website unless I'm first of all going to verify those name before they will become active and public on my website which is still a huge work for someone to do.

Posting link in comment section was considered spam in the past and it is still considered spam today. If you want to share links make sure to use the website field while placing comments.

It will shock you that as petty as it sounds to be posting links on forums, it is still an effective way of putting your websites out there. But it is not all forums that will allow you post links on their site though

 

[Kelly5]

Posting links on comments sections of other sites are still a viable process today because some people still do it and are making progress with it as I write this post

 

[babdud02]

Off course it’s no longer viable again unless the owner of the link has discussed it with the site owner before doing so.It is just the normal thing now not to allow things like that again

 

[Heatman]

Some forum owners actually see the posting of their forum links on websites and social media sites are one of the best ways to promote their website which is actually true to an extent.

Lots of webmasters are still doing that up to this day to promote their site backlink to gaining more traffic to their own website, when people finds the copied link interested.

Exactly, it's actually something that they have been making use of for years and it's actually very helpful, but the only problem is when it turns into spams, thereby messing with one's website.

That's why they need to be careful with backlink promotion. Cos search engines have set rules, and over promoting of the backlink violates such rule.

I figure these days that posting your link in a comment section, isn't very viable anymore. The reason I think this, is because I think most sites block it. I know some blogs/sites allow you to enter a site along with your name/email so that when people click on your name, it sends them to your site. So I have in the past looked for those types of sites, and I always make a general comment on the article. This way, it also creates a sort of backlink for my site, and I'm not spamming to do it. But, I think most sites these days require a sign-in.

There is a feature in some websites called sponsored comment means the comments are splitted by admin advertisements from people that pays for CPM, CPC, CPL, CPA, or per duration. If all people will post for free without pay for example 7 $ per week for your advertisement is displayed randomly in comment section then site will lose money however free promotion can occur simply banning from platform or if you are doing this like a robot they may report your IP address to authorities so spamming is illegal activity.
