Out of all the tasks related to Search Engine Optimization, link building is probably the most important one. Do-Follow blogs are one of the most incredible opportunities to get links to your website, traffic, and boost your search engine rankings. |
What is a Do-Follow Link?
Some websites assign a nofollow tag to some links. That is a message to the search engines saying “I don’t trust this link, don’t count it”. Most blogs use this tag to protect themselves from people posting spam comments all the time. If the links don’t count, spammers don’t waste their time there.
But not all blogs are “no-follow”, some are “do-follow”, which, as you can imagine, is the exact opposite.
How Can You Find DoFollow Blogs?
These are some of my favorite resources to find them:
Comment Hunt
Do Follow Blogs
Stephan Miller’s Website
Squidoo DoFollow List
And last, but not least, there is Fast Blog Finder, an amazing software that lets you find dofollow blogs and sort them by Page Rank.
The Kind of Blogs You Need to Find
Your goal here is to find 10-20 blogs that meet this criteria:
- Have dofollow links for comments (you can use the SEObook toolbar to highlight nofollow links)
- Have a Page Rank of 3 or more
- Have several comments for each post written (this indicates high readership)
How to Post Comments
99% of the blog comments are moderated. If you post a spam message, it will be removed. So don’t. Write something useful related to the post. The blog owner is giving you a link, so be kind enough to make a useful contribution to his blog.
Some blogs will allow you to put a keyword in the name field. This is great because that will be the link’s anchor text. This is any SEO’s dream: a link from a quality website with the perfect anchor text. Don’t always use the same anchor text; switch it up a bit to make the linking look more natural.

Even I made my blog dofollow to spread the link love, currently there are few comments on each page so getting a solid backlink is so easy on my PR3 blog
nice post…thanx for information….keep it up
Thank you very very much for the info. I’ve been search, search, searching and couldn’t seem to find many do follow blogs. Now with the links you provided, I can stop searching. Exactly what I needed.
Thanks for the link.
Thank you, Stephan. Your blog is awesome.
I have to say though that blogs that allow to use keywords for a name are few and far between… my advice is not to just rampage though blogs using keywords for your titles in your submitted coments… if you do blog owners will mark you down as spam and you’ll find yourself blacklisted by Akismet… then get yourself out of that blackhole!
That’s true, Andy. You need to ask the webmaster if it’s OK first. If they’re cool with that, it’s a great chance to get links with great anchor texts.
thank you for this post
great links!

Thanks for the great post on viral marketing, i’ve bookmarked and hope to use it in my next viral campaign targetting a niche of car crashes. Rally crashes
The key is all about relevant links. Some good links here – thank you.
Good luck with the car crashes site. Let me know how it goes.
Hello,
This is a great idea. Those startup sites that installed nofollow have lost already. Many serious posters have a website and prefer to promote it. The internet is full of interesting sites such as start up meme and why would someone bother posting and reading on a site with nofollow when they can their energy on one which doesn’t have that.
Very true! Blogging should be a two-way communication. When people make comments on your blog, you should reward them in some way.

Ignore spam and websites that offer to submit your website to hundreds of search engines. At best these are wastes of time or money and at worst they can actually hurt your ranking. Just do quality link building and directory submission in your site’s relevant category.

I believe there is value in every link, whether the link has nofollow, or the page has nofollow. The amount of value may differ, but there is still value, search for “follow the path of nofollow”.
More and more dofollow links start to appear again it seems (also on my blog) and I think that is a good trend
Nofollow links help if they have good anchor text because even though the link isn’t counted by the search engines, at least they get an idea of what the page is about.

ty for list

Was wondering also if you think just as one could find a do follow, couldn’t Google just pay people for manual reviews of ALL sites and tricks? Technically they could pay people smart like us to award a point system manually to sites.
No?
Sure they could, but the linking system is very effective.

Nice post and thanks for sharing with us. I think sometime nofollow links help for enhancing site traffic because they producing an idea about the page. This all is helpful when they have good anchor text. Again thanks for back link.
Great post. I agree with you that “Blogging should be a two-way communication. When people make comments on your blog, you should reward them in some way.” Use the Fast Blog Finder and it will make my job a lot easier. Thanks for sharing.
Great info!!! I think having do follow is very important and greatly helps in getting more traffic, and excitement on your blog…why does everyone have no follow? It hurts everyone involved i think, and spammers still keep spamming anyway.
great info!

Two of websites links are not working ..
here are many “SEO Gurus” that will tell you commenting on blogs can boost your pageranking a lot. These gurus are also the ones with page rank of 0.
You might be asking this question to yourself, “Why should I even bother with commenting then?” Because you want to get noticed! Posting comments like “nice post!” will not get you noticed. You want to add value into the discussion, and that will get the author of the blog to notice you. Ask good questions or let the author know about something that was missing in the post. Those two are just basic ideas.
Great information for me , i use mostly do follow blogs to build back link and drive traffic to my blog, i think it’s the most easiest way to back linking. so thanks for sharing your good suggestion for us..
Thank you for posting such article. Its great to see such eye opening post.There are still many things to learn and more surprises to come.
really nice article thanks for sharing with us and keep on going………..
Thanx a lot on this information! I would like to increase my page rank for a site I created
The NoFollow attribute is, in my opinion, Google’s worst innovation (yep – remember, it was Google who invented it).
The whole basis of Google was that links passed authority. The better the authority of the page that passed the link, then the better the authority given to that link. Just because spammers abused that system gave no need to close the door on the whole system.
Ok, I know that the above still counts, but a huge proportion of the web – think Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, WordPress blogs etc – is now nofollow. This can’t be right – it’s affecting millions of relevant links.
It reminds me of being at school: when one person did something wrong, the teacher would punish the whole class. With the NoFollow attribute Google is punishing the whole class for the actions of a few, and you would have thought that a company that had basically invented intelligent search could have come up with something better.
Maybe one day they will.
