Not too sure if you know this or not, but at least half of these sites are no longer up, or no longer dofollow. But I will make the best of whats there. Thanks

Thanks Richard for the info on Dofollow Blogs.

Many of us want and need blogs that we can post on if
we are going to succeed with our internet businesses.
I also find it very frustrating that most of the blogs have a PR0.

Look forward to checking the list out. Thanks Again.

I would just go to the blog, find a post with a comment in it where the commenter’s name is linkified, press Ctrl + U to view the source code of that page (Firefox), and then search using Ctrl + F for the complete name of said commenter. Then, I would examine the HTML anchor tag to observe the presence or absence of the “rel” attribute, and see whether it is set to “nofollow”, “external”, or something else. Absent is good, rel=”external” is good, rel=”nofollow” is bad.

Ideally, someone would create a WordPress plugin that allows you to set certain commenter’s links to be nofollow and others to be dofollow on a case-by-case basis. This way, commenters would have to leave good comments out of fear that their anchor tags would be made nofollow, and dofollow links would become a social bargaining tool.

Alternately, nofollow links could become a social retribution tool, but I would usually just delete those comments and block those commenters.

As Dave says there are a lot of supposedly dofollow which aren’t, I use SEO quake to see if they are what they say. I can understand why people do due to spam comments, but there are other ways of dealing with it.

I honestly don’t care at this point. It sounds plausible though. The search engines have to keep changing their algorithms to provide more relevant results in the face of changing SEO techniques, better scripts and servers, and the human factor.

If you’re posting a comment on a blog, you should be focused on the traffic that comes from people directly reading the comment section on that blog post and clicking your name. Anything else is secondary, including familiarization and brand image.

” I keep running into is I find blogs that claim they are dofollow, but when you review the source code that is not the case”.

A lot of blogs start out as doollow and at some point they change to a nofollow. What you can learn from this, is when building backlinks don’t just use blogs to build link building and if you do keep building them because some of them will become nofollow.

Google doesn’t tell us the truth because they don’t want their system to be gamed… but you can figure it out if you’re tricky enough.

In response to Danny G’s comment, Matt Cutts has said that no follow links do not help to climb search engine rankings in Google. But…considering Google’s natural ranking algorithms change 200 to 300 times a year, I don’t see why Matt Cutts will not change what he says either.

You’re welcome! Remember that since nofollow is a new initiative, “dofollow” is the ABSENCE of a rel=”nofollow” tag on an hyperlink, i.e., a normal link.

Great little article. I never realized there was a difference between no follow and do follow for links. Thanks for the info to help clear up the differences!

I do that! The only dofollow link is your URL link, but links written in HTML in your comment are nofollow. By default, WordPress makes them all nofollow.

Hi Richard.
Great blog by the way!! just wanted to stick my 2 cents in. i personally like to interact with both dofollow and nofollow as i think its more natural to have a balance between the 2, as in MY OPINION to many link pointing from only dofollow sets alarms of.
regards
Danny
