DoFollow Is Back – Get Yourself Some Link Juice

Johnny — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:54:42 +0000

While I was hoping to get a PR boost be the end of November, there was actually no update from Google. I decided to open up the dofollow plugin, which was suspended two month ago on the concern that it may affect my PR. Although PR is important, commenting and traffic are more important for a blog like this. Also I would like to show some link love to my readers and commentators, and give you guys and girls some link juice.

Some DoFollow Blogs Worth Leaving Your Comment On

As I don’t get Google PR yet, so my blog will not be included in the list. This list intends to include some high PR, high Alexa Ranking DoFollow blogs which will be useful for your blog-comment link building.

1. Top of the list is BoingBoing.net. With a PR of 8, this is absolutely top priority blog to put your comment-linking on.

2. V7N SEO Blog – PR 5.

3. Can I Make Big Money Online – PR 4

4. EZ-onlinemoney.com – PR 4

5. Duckeldanny.com – PR 3

6. MyTradersJournal – PR 4 (Stock/Option Trading)

7. BigBenPatton’s Place – PR 3

8. EzyAs123 – PR 3

9. UnlockTheOnlineWorld – PR 2

There will be more I’m sure, and they will be added to the list as I see them. Please add to the list with your findings as well. If you don’t know how to detect a DoFollow blog, here is the tip. Use a Firefox browser, go to the blog post with comments on it, and right click on a commenter’s name (normally with the linking) and select “Properties”. If you can see the word “nofollow” on the properties window, it means it’s not a DoFollow blog. Otherwise, it is DoFollow.

What Do You Mean by “We DoFollow”?

When people leave a comment on your blog, your blogging software is most likely adding the “nofollow” hyperlink attribute to it. The reason behind this is to minimize the benefit you’re giving any spammers who exploit comments or trackbacks. If spammers’ links do get search engine value back to their sites/blogs, it would be quite an incentive for them – therefore NoFollow is used to deter that. The consequence of the NoFollow hyperlink attribute is that search engines like Google either don’t follow or may follow those links off your blog, yet don’t give any credibility or benefit on page ranking(PR) to those linking, which means the links don’t provide any search engine value to the originating site/blog.

However, if people provide legitimate, quality comments or links back to your blog, what’s the harm in giving them a little value (or love) in return? As long as you activate a spam plugin like Akismet (which does a very good job in blocking off spam comments and trackbacks) it makes sense to open your blog up a bit and give your community a little link love.

I decide to use one of the DoFollow plugins for removing NoFollow attributes on my blog, so it’s now spreading link love with DoFollow. Just a warning though, any kind of spam is strictly not tolerated.
