Do Follow Blogs

Today I spend all of my work day submitting to Do Follow Blogs. These blogs have the no follow feature disabled and when you comment you get a back link to your site. I spent a lot of wasted time before, submitting to blogs only to find out they had no follow which means basically I got nothing for all my time and effort.

The no follow tag was implemented by Google who were trying to stop spammers from advertising all kind of trashy sites. But it had one bad effect it stopped a lot of good people from commenting on articles they had read. It meant that urls in the comment field were ignored by google, and the page rank and indexing weren't improved.

If you want some link juice go to the search engine and find directories that have "do follow blogs" there are plenty of them. Wordpress blog owners have the option of installing the plugin to turn off the no follow tag. If you are a blog owner please turn off the tag and encourage other to comment.

Well, I guess you hit my two blogs.

The do follow movement was started to pass link love to people who were kind enough to comment. It has evolved to people seeking out our blogs to make meaningless comments that are deleted.

If you are going to benefit from do follow, you must put your URL in the comment or use the name/URL (anonymous)portion of the comment form. If you just post a comment while signed in to Blogger, you only get a linkback to your bloger profile. BTW-you do not have this enabled on your blog.

You would spend your time more wisely submitting your blog to directories.
