This is a list of blogs that don’t add the tag rel="nofollow" to your website when you make a comment. You can add your website URI in the field labeled “website,” “URL,” or “URI,” and the blog owner should have his blog set up to make your name link back to your site with no nofollow tag (i.e. “dofollow”).
Commenting on these blogs will help you to rank higher in Google and other search engines, because you’ll get credit for having other sites link to you (unlike with nofollow, where you get nothing). Thripp Photography is dofollow.
This is a good article by Search Engine Journal: 13 Reasons Why NoFollow Tags Suck. Omitting the tag doesn’t increase spam nor hurt your blog. I use the Sem Dofollow plugin to remove it from comments on all Thripp.com blogs including Brilliant Photography, as WordPress includes it by default (scroll to the bottom for the download link). If you’re using WordPress MU as I am, it’ll work for all your blogs if you put sem-dofollow.php in your mu-plugins folder.
Note: this list is a JavaScript include from here: http://courtneytuttle.com/blogs-that-follow/. I do not manage this list!
Do not comment saying “thank you” or “add my blog to your list.” Do not post spam or stupid questions.
