SEOs Like Links From Blog
A week or so ago, I wrote a piece named Are Links From Blogs As Valuable These Days? In short, some SEOs are now against buying or obtaining links from most blogs. They feel that Google may be devaluing the once golden, blog link (yes, I am generalizing). So I decided to run a poll to see how our readers perceive links from blogs.
The results are in and we have 141 responses from SEOs and webmasters. 90 or 64% of the respondents said they like links from blogs. 41 or 29% of the respondents said they do not like links from blogs. While the remainder, 10 people or 7% of the respondents said it depends on the blog.
Here is the break down:
:: Yes said 90 respondents or 64%
:: No said 41 respondents or 29%
:: Depends said 10 respondents or 7%
Forum discussion continued at WebmasterWorld.

I missed the voting round, but here are my 2 cents:
I'd say yes and no. Yes, I like contextual links from within posts. No, I don't like sidebar, blogroll and footer links. I think those are perceived by search engines as less valuable - easy to buy, easy to swap, not necessarily relevant.
