Jonathan Ledger has recently posted a new case study to evaulate whether obtaining links from Blog Comments is valuable or not. I think his case study will be VERY successful! And I look forward to reading his results.
Let’s take a brief look at his case study. Jonathan has built an adsense site with 11 unique articles. To promote the site, he is going to post 600 comments on blogs that do not (*DO NOT*) use the "no follow" attribute. The goal of the case study is to learn whether links obtained through comments posted on blogs have a positive impact on search engine rankings.
For example, my blogs (including this one) allow you to earn a link
back to your site simply by posting good and valuable content in
your comments.

The Kenyan Ambassador to the United States recently stayed at our house. It was a delightful privilege and honor to host Ambassador Ogego and his wife Rose. I grew up in Kenya, under the leadership of President Kenyatta. It was fascinating to discuss the economic transitions from President Kenyatta to former president Moi to the current President Kibaki.

A recent study released by the federal government’s Small Business Administration stated that the regulatory cost per employee for small businesses with less than 20 employees is $7,647.
It can be reasonable to assume that this number is not an "under-estimate." Which makes the release of this number especially troublesome. What is the impact of regulatory costs on entrepreneurism? On new job creation? On job retention?

Abstract:
Massive expansion in China’s infrastructure and cities has created a country-wide construcion boom. New roads, buildings, and public works projects have caused increased demand for construction equipment, especially for multi-purpose vehicles such as a wheel laoder. Quick, and capable of performing a large variety of tasks, the wheel loader is must-have on any industrial job-site. As such, the growth of the market has been tremendous, and there are many manufacturers (both old and new) jockeying for a piece of the action. Caterpillar and other wheel loader manufacturers (such as Komatsu and Volvo) are in country, and have equity positions with domestic wheel loader manufacturers. Working with their business partner, Cat has set aggressive sales goals, but has found the Chinese market resistant to the charms of their brand. In China, the wheel loader buyer bases purchasing decisions on price, and does not value durability, parts availability, used equipment, rental eqiupment nor program financing – all of which are the key elements of Cat’s global success to date. With this project, Caterpillar hopes to gain a better understanding of the China wheel loader marketplace, and the market potential for new, used, and rental equipment.
