I just added a new plugin to my blog today. It is the “no-follow free” plugin, what this does is allow people to add a comment with a link to their site in order to gain a backlink. By default wordpress has a nofollow attribute which tells Google not to use that link as a backlink. When this is turned off, it make your blog “do follow” and makes you popular with SEO experts and other blog owners that are looking to build quality links for their blogs. Some people complain that this adds spam to their blog, I do not see it that way, because you can simply unapprove the comment. Furthermore, people have smartened up and they know that if they want to get their comments approved then they have to write a good comment that adds to the discussion. I have used this successfully on my other blogs and have seen a nice surge in traffic. If you are keeping count, this is the second plugin that I installed. I wanted to make my blog do follow as early as possible so that I can spread the word in the SEO community and start improving my traffic now.
Remember how I told you guys that I own several web directories, including
SubmitMyBlog.com , well I also recently started a Do Follow Blog Directory . So if your blog is do follow or you make it do follow, make sure you add it to my directory. I am getting a lot of traffic there because people are searching hard for do follow blogs.
@ Thomas, I really agree with you, dofollow is really a win win situation and people really gets linked just by participating. And with that, people get the opportunity to read other blogs and articles. Thanks for this. Keep it up.

Dofollows are the future of the internetz. Everyone knows with web 2.0 the internet is going to become nothing but “a series of tubes” so having a dofollow blogs will help that transition. Viva dofollow!

I have joined the do follows and it really is so helpful. Thanks for the info.
dofollow has many benefits indeed. It will allow you to “socialize” and have friendly conversation with your visitors. Of course spam will always be there so maintaining spam free blog will require you to check and manually remove spam comments.
Just my $.2. Thank you.
I agree with you that the “dofollow” practice is generally a good idea, I have my blogs set up as dofollow and I see it is appreciated. I have nothing against providing someone who wants to add to the value of my site with useful relevant commentary a followed backlink. After all, encouraging with reward is works. Oh, and your comments are actually nofollow at this moment.. accidental??
AdminDaily’s last blog post..“nofollow” or not to “nofollow” that is the question
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.
