Link juice
Comments are without a doubt helpful, but they're just part of an all round strategy.
With regards a Google penalty, this is not possible. all we need to do is look at the devils advocate perspective where a marketer could spam their competitors site in comments and thereby get them penalised.
The real question is in what way are these type of links degraded by the big G and that is still a matter of contention.

Spreading the link juice
Here is the issue that most people fail to realize. Every page on the web is assigned a certain amount of "link juice". This is limited and the more outbound links you have the less link juice you have to spread to your own internal pages. There is a point where the link juice is spread so thin as a result of spam that your page no longer passes any value to outbound or inbound links.

Could Comments Hurt Your Search Engine Rankings?
Love the sentence "Baxter's analysis is quite intriguing nonetheless." It is intriguing, but not confirmed.
I've never really understood
I've never really understood how annoying spam comments could be as i don't really get any visitors or comments on my blog, but somebody has recently started spamming a forum that i'm active in and the pointless comments are driving everyone crazy. Even if it doesn't affect your seo, spam comments can be a real distraction for your readers. full tilt poker rake back
The problem obviously wasn't
The problem obviously wasn't a pr one. A page only ever actually keeps 15% of the pr entering it. The other 85% is evenly distributed between the outgoing links, so one or one hundred outgoing links doesn't actually make a difference. The problem must have arose due to a penalty for linking to a bad neighbourhood. Porn or not. poker rakeback
yeah thats true we have to
yeah thats true we have to agree!
It's Great
Well after going through the details I can only say "comments matter's Man".As a new blogger I will always remember these tips.
Thanks Mate.
Comments
I didn't realize that a site could get penalized for having spammy comments. Now that I know, I will be more careful on the comments that my site receives.
Never thought of it
Never thought of it.. Thanks
Yes. And that's the reason
Yes. And that's the reason why spammers try to take advantage by spamming people's blogs with garbage comments.
OH!!! very strange to hear
OH!!! very strange to hear this. Thanks for informing
Many blogs have NOFOLLOW
Many blogs have NOFOLLOW attributes in their comments area.... Am wondering still then why some spammers used to spam the comments????
Spam comments are becoming a
Spam comments are becoming a serious problem on many sites. I have been to many sites that end up with nothing but trash. Once someone finds that its not being moderated everyone seems to jump on the band wagon with junk replys. This site is one of the few good sites left with valuable content and remarks
If google is doing this it
If google is doing this it is not fair. The only way around is to monitor comments.
well we all knew that didnt we?
Google has changed the way which it searches a few times over the past decade but some of the changes have made a difference that have both a positive and negative inpack.
we all know that google now searching the pages for links in and out of the site and the keywords and words that are used in the links, then the websites that are linked to and from effect your website rank and result.
With keywords, it is important for the content and weight for in and out links.
with googles newish ranking system, sites that you link to will effect the results though, it would seem that the inbound links do not effect the page too much.
my 2c
More content is always good for SEO. I dont think that links out can be bad for SEO.
This happened to us
This happened to us. Our retail site had an adult comment that led to it being classed as an adult site and barred by netnanny etc.
Wow - that's interesting
Wow - that's interesting stuff. Perhaps its a bit crazy allowing comments to appear without moderation by the bloger nowadays? Every story has a moral.
I believe
I believe in this and I think thats right!
For sure getting negative
For sure getting negative keywords in there will effect your rank tremendously. Positive comments, I am wondering how strong of an effect would it change the density and results. When I write content, I don't sit there and try to come up with some perfect algorythm. I type as to communicate a message. I focus more on the writing than the density of keywords. Let the natural flow of the topic deliver what the page is about. Now the title of the page, H1 H2 tags need to be spot on with a good keyword mix. For articles I feel that the comments shouldn't directly effect the SEO as long as the comments are on subject.
Now, how about for video type content when there is minimal text. You have a video that is full of information yet only a 1 line or 2 line description of the video then say 100 comments. How will that effect SEO for thin content? I would be more concerned with that scenario vs. articles. Hopefully those comments are also on subject.
100% True
Well said! This is one of the worst mistake done by new bloggers. To gain comments we usually remove the nofollow tag to a dofollow and ultimately due to negligence we get punished by Google. Thanks for reminding it :)
Comment moderator is wise to
Comment moderator is wise to use for any blogs. We had the same problem in the beginning. Now its basically a standard procedure. So word to the wise, if you have a blog in race cars or disney hideaway, you should be moderating.
Should have used Comment Moderation
Hi Chris,
When I first started out as a blogger, I didn't know much about SEO and the effect of spam comments. But later I realized since my blog started getting spam comments. It was really frustrating and time-consuming to delete each and every one of them.
After that experience I enabled comment moderation feature in my blog. Now I get to monitor and decide which comments should be allowed to be posted and which ones should be deleted right away.
Your post will inform new bloggers and they can learn from other's mistakes.
Thanks for the great post.

Could be right
Spam comments = bad links out = bad SEO.
So I think it could be right.
