DoFollow Blogs

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Hot on the heels of writing again about the NoFollow attribute, I though I would also write again about the DoFollow plugin. Here is a list of blogs that have installed some form of DoFollow feature. This list will be updated so that new DoFollow blogs can be added over time.

You might also want to list your blog at what is probably the most effective blog directory, at least from an SEO perspective. Bloggeries offers a listing not just for your home page, but also to the five msot recent posts…helping drive traffic. This is not a free directory, but the price is well worth it. My blogs are all listed there. Submit your blog to the Bloggeries Directory.

Nice list, now I just have to figure out exactly what the Do Follow Plugin does!!

For one thing, Jay, the DoFollow plugin removes the default NoFollow attribute from user-generated external links, such as the one in your name above. It sends a very specific message that you moderate your comments to make sure they are not pure spam.

For another, it sends a very clear message that you want to be part of the Internet, not just an isolated island.

And thirdly, by making it clear that you are not afraid to link out, it shows a level of confidence that your outbound links are valuable…and despite what “old-school” SEO says, I am certain that outbound links are a valuable SEO asset (in fact, part of what distinguishes an authority site).

@ The-Dude , Hey - “Viva la Bloggers” — that’s my line!

—– * ——

Thanks David for the link It is much appreciated. You are doing a good service for the blogosphere.

And for those who read this list — Do-follow blogs are blogs that support other bloggers. Please think kindly of your fellow blogger - read their content and leave comments that are honest and thought out. It will benefit both parties.

I actually arrived here through this ‘do follow’ list I’d found on someone elses blog, but I’m keen to know how to get on the list myself. You stated in the post that you’ll be updating the list over time - what do us other followers have to do to get on the list?

I also loved the SearchStatus tool in your related post, I’m off to have a look at that now.

Thanks

Interesting list and movement. Not really sure if the whole nofollow thing has been of any benefit to the web. After all, nofollow or not, any good blog or site will delete spam on their own.

Thanks for the huge list of do-follow blogs. I think I’d get someone to go through the whole list and classify according to the blog theme.

I’d like to know if I add the dofollow plugin to my blog, would my blog automatically appear in the dofollow blog search engines?

David Leonhardt (82 comments) Says:

@Mumbai SEO The plugin just makes your blog “normal”. If you want into a DoFollow directory, you have to submit your website. Each directory owner decides what websites to include in his directory.

I just switched my blog to do follow. A great way to find sites that are do follow is to use
http://www.followtopia.com- Nofollow filtered search.

It is how I found this site.

This is a great list for sure. The only problem i've found is that even if you make a honest comment about a post, if the blog owner even thinks you are using the link for seo purposes they like to delete the comment. Especially if you are targeting your keywords instead of leaving a name. What would be great is a list like this with blogs that you know you are allowed to comment on with out getting your link removed.

@ pool enclosures

Fully agree with this! If you going to add good content which will benifit the blogger / writter then you should be rewarded with a link!

This is a great resouce thanks.

As for pool enclosures and SEO Preston, I know this is usually an issue, however don't start off by commenting directly with the keywords you're targeting. The first 3 or so comments should be in your name. They should look natural

There are some wordpress plugins that will automatically let your comment pass unnoticed if the administrator has accepted your comment 2 to 3 times.

Its amazing, a lot of people are already a part of this “u comment i follow” movement. im glad i am! Do follow makes people feel more appreciated when the post comment on your blog. As long as you are the decider for which comment is true and have value to your blog, you are safe with Google.

I went do-follow a few months ago. So far, I am pleased with my results. Most comments are quality comments, and it doesn't take long to delete the spam type comments.

But, let's all be responsible when we post to these blogs and make our comments relevant to the post so we don't force these blog owners to go back to nofollow.

Excellent post, I have changed all my blogs to do-follow and my comments have increased big time. I will be linking to your post, thank you for the advice. Now people want to comment on my posts.

Thank you so such, I am a web designer and SEO guy… I try to interact with both industries and frequently share my experience and opinions on many industry blogs. It's really nice when blogs show there appreciation to dedicated readers and comments by dofollowing my signature. Some site just want to take, but the best sites, like this one, know how to give back…

Thanks for the great do follow list. I went do follow with all my blogs some time back and it does increase the comments. However, I am ruthless when it comes to deleting non-contributing comments.

This list is getting a little dated. I reviewed this list and several have switched to nofollow. People definitely need to recheck these sites with firefox and the nodofollow plugin.

Jenny the editor (1 comments) Says:

I think Do Follow is a great thing indeed, but there are two faces of the story here. One is the net advantage of having another external link, and the other is the fact that the Do follow blogger can end up with dozens of unwanted, unrelated comments. How can we decide which comments are allowed to stay and which not? If we consider ourselves to support link exchange, what stops the blogger to erase all comments from non-do follow bloggers. in this way, only do follow bloggers get promoted. And I don't see how anyone can argue with them, it's their blog after all…

I agree with Jenny, Do Follow blog is good and there are some webmasters, lets say are "fixated" do follow as for obvious reason that is one of the easiest way to get your link up on a webpage. A linked is a link and its better that nothing.

However, no follow has its positive side as well, although the big G won't count it in as Page Rank. It will attract traffic to your website, for one..

@ SEO preston
Yes, absolutely right. The comment should be made in such a way that it should be beneficial to both viewers and the blog. It doesn't matter if you are using your name or keywords but your comment must be useful to the readers. Surely this post is much informative with good list of dofollo blogs.

Brent Champagne (1 comments) Says:

A great list. I have just added your dofollow list dofollow blog directory list. It will show later tonight when the cache is cleared. The list is a directory of directories and it has listings of directories, search engines and lists that have dofolow blogs.

I am a new member of the dofollow blog movement.

incentive programs (1 comments) Says:
May 31st, 2009 at 3:46 pm

I think serious bloggers need to offer some kind of additional incentive programs for fellow bloggers to leave real posts. To many blogs are no follow which makes no sense. Some of the time it is just because people do not know, but more so people on power trips. I have actually ran experiments with just no follow and the results were JAW DROPPING!

I think Search engines are not giving as much gravity to no follow tags as they use to

Blue Falcon (1 comments) Says:

I recently made my internet marketing blog dofollow, I feel that if someone puts a relevant comment that adds value to my blog, they should be rewarded with some link juice to it, why not? Especially after Google recently revealed changes in their nofollow/dofollow algorithm that have been implemented over a year ago!
