I am working on a article related on Link building strategy's, and Which is more effective and helps long term growth as per your experience?
 
I think you should do little more learning before putting that article up, buddy! If this is the kind of question you are asking, i doubt your readers will get much value from whatever you are writing.

Just my two cents!
 
Blog comments are usually pretty weak, but much safer than PBN's if they are done manually and are on quality websites. It doesn't hurt to use a little of both to cover up your backlink profile.
 
PBN's (ROCK SOLID PBN) is much stronger - but even what would be considered a "solid" PBN today might not be in 6 months - they are a gamble long term, but short term they are WAY stronger

Blog comments if done very conservatively and only in a contextually relevant manner, and that actually add value to the readers of the page that the comment is posted on, can also give you some solid, lower risk added juice, but not anywhere near as much as would a PBN

That being said, it is very easy and all too common to let "blog commenting" link building get out of control, and if you deviate from any of the "conservative" practices I mentioned above (make sure it's not done in huge spikes, that it adds value to the conversation, and isn't obviously a comment just for the sake of creating a link) - it ends up being identified algorithmically as "spam" and you end up in the same position as a failed PBN (Google Penalty)
 
definitely PBNs, but a little risky

Risky is only low SEO knowledge, especially how Google detecting PBNs.
But more risky is following fake SEO gurus, who already have all (or part) their PBN banned.

And until today they don't found the answer "why", from the reason above.

@cosmo89

Blog commenting is pretty visible by follow/nofollow ratio, also have very low influence on Google ranking.
Also by rich snippets/new html tags Google exactly know which links are in comments area.

And not only Google ;)

Cheers, Greg.

PBN'S will definitively have more impact on your article. More efficient with ranking. From all the BlackHat SEO techniques, PBNs are probably the most efficient. The better the expired domain names you purchase, the faster you'll see the results.

Best regards.
 
Really appreciate all your responses and understood that PBN plays major role in the SERP ranking.

And is there any limit or timeline to building PBN's?? E.g if i can build 100 PBN's in a month, will it affect the site
 
I won't put PBN and blog commenting in the same rank. And do people still bother with building comment links (most which are total spam and garbage) and expect to rank? This is not 2012.
 
PBNs most definitely - that being said PBNs are risky and may not be viable for LONG term success, however I would not except blog comments to have much influence on rankings, it diversifies your link profile and may bring relevant traffic to your site though!

Any tip (or good resource to read) on what to look out for when searching/buying PBNs?

Thanks

What about the websites to link out to from a PBN site?

There's a lot of debate about this.

For instance, from one PBN site you link to ONE money website, 1 page only.

Or you can link several websites from the same PBN website?

Thx and sorry if newbie question...
 
Each process has its own value. Learn and decide what you planning to put and in what sense. PBNs are definitely way more powerful when compared to blog commenting.
 
I'd go for PBN provided that the site's do have good metrics - If they do not have a proven track record, or no sample, or nothing to show that their PBN links can boost your authority/SERP ranking, then those are most likely spammed links that they are selling - If it's such a case, then going for blog comments would be better instead - provided if the blog comments are good and genuine.
