Click this image for many LISTS of Exceptional Bloggers with Twitter Usernames for Follow Friday
Friday is a popular day for link roundups and Follow Friday recommendations.
Both are excellent ideas for bloggers and social media users to emulate.
I highly recommend you
seek out other bloggers in your
niche and physical geography.Reach out to them by linking to and
commenting in posts you appreciate.Share and recommend them on Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Google+ and elsewhere.
Develop a group of bloggers who support each other’s efforts and recommend each other for Follow Friday on Twitter. Encourage them to use Twitter and share my Twitter Best Practices with them.
The ever popular Kristi Hines has long done what she calls Fetching Friday Link Roundups and I know that many blogs I regularly visit do similar roundups so I’m asking YOU to remind me where they all are!
Just today I discovered a new DoFollow CommentLuv Premium blog thanks to a REAL trackback including one of my guest posts in his TGIF Resource Mashup.
SmallBizTrends published a roundup yesterday of the Best Small Business Advice and many other top sites publish exceptional research that is well worth republishing.
Think about what people where you live or interested in your niche would most want to find and you can compile research that many are highly likely to link to, share and appreciate.
Here are some examples (and if you’ll add YOUR favorites – either on your own blog or anyone else’s site – I will move them up into this list):
- Library Blogs
- Gardening Blogs
- DoFollow KeywordLuv Blogs
- 100 Twitter Ready Quotes
- CommentLuv Premium Reviews
- Top Black Social Media Influencers and Black Social Media Influencers
- Google Plus FollowFriday: 50+ Bloggers Worth Following on Google+
- Example Follow Friday Roundup where the blogger used optimum anchor text for each blog she recommends.
Many blogging collaborations do unique types of roundups like these:
If you regularly publish a link roundup series
please leave a link to a post about that OR
to your latest roundup so I can include
YOU in this post. Thanks!
Your relevant links are ALWAYS welcome in the comments here and do take advantage of KeywordLuv to link to your most important search phrases. That’s what we offer it!

I have never heard of a link part before but I love the concept
Thank you for including Your Green Resource in your links Gail! Since the four of us started collaborating on this link, I’ve seen growth in my site.

Nice, but i think people wont relay on each other and sometimes they refused to share blogs. I think trust is a must to share a blog.
Yes that’s true that finding goodness is hard but after all it is good. Same way finding good bloggers i mean dofollow commentluv enable blogger are very difficult. So, best practice is to search them on popular social media sites. They would be definitely participated there. Anyway excellent idea of link roundups and FF. A big thanks and lots of praise for such a useful idea.

It’s a good time to be a blogger these days, watching the web develop over the past few years has been really exciting. Starting a blog and generating the followers you need is generally way easier than only a few years ago but as always content is king

We get a fair number of blog carnival posts submitted to our site http://www.zoomit.ca/tag/carnival but it would be nice to see more. It is an important form of networking and link-building, and it also helps your audience get more information (and different perspectives) than you alone can provide

I’m just learning about roundups and Friday Follow
I think they are both brilliant ideas! As I develop my blog more, and learn the ropes more, I’m certainly going to jump into the Roundup idea! For now I’m going to learn the ropes with Twitter- one step at a time to build a bionic blog bridge!

There a lot of new bloggers out there who wants to let people know about their blogs. Doing roundup and creating a group of bloggers in order to create support and help in promotion is a great idea. Thank you for the links, they are going to be very useful.
I’ve done link roundups before but this is my first time hearing about FollowFriday. I might been a bit left behind in that regard.
Anyway, it sounds great, surely more traffic will come using this method.
Thanks for the info! This is just another reason why I love visiting your blog.

Hi, I really think the same way as you mentioned but What to do if the other bloggers start competing with the same keyword i m going for? I also wish to have a same niche bloggers community but its not so easy!

Hi Ahmad,
If they do that is a GOOD thing for you both or even several of you. There is room on the first page in search engines for more than one of you AND if you all interact in the comments and write about each other instead of your readers leaving for another blog they are likely to become regulars on ALL of your sites.
There is not one tiny, limited pie that you have to fight over – there is a much larger audience you can reach by all working together.

I love those blogs that are having a “linkparty” to other people blogs every friday. Here in Sweden (were I live) bloggers usually are very scrape to link to each others blogposts.
I don’t relly know why…

Hi Rasmus,
Many bloggers have fallen for disinformation that says that outgoing links cost them “link juice” so they want to keep all they can and not link to anyone else.
Bloggers like me belong to a separate type of blogging community who do not focus on competition and hoarding and greed. Instead we believe in Blogging Collaborations, working together and sharing.
All bloggers have to decide which side of that fence they want to join into as I wrote in a post about Blogging Ethics.

thanks for this post, some great tips, I am definitely going to work through them. I’d like to find a roundup of dofollow commentluv / keywordluv Akismet free blogs. Akismet is really killing conversation, the arrogance of blocking comments without even a message to say they’re blocked, alone is a reason to not use them.

Hi John,
In the blogosphere there are always more opportunities you can get involved in and you can create your own! If you link to other bloggers who are Dofollow and use CommentLuv from any blog that does not contain offensive content that is not in a “bad neighborhood” (i.e., gambling, illegal, encouraging vices or containing adult content) at least some of them will link to you.
Stop focusing on link building and only linking to high PR pages and focus instead on finding quality sites in your niche and creating relationships that bring real people back to your site.
When you have relationships with other bloggers they will link to you from the body of posts (which we all know are stronger links than comment links) and send you traffic from their social networking accounts.
REAL relationships will bring you far more business and real readers than focusing on search engines – especially THE search engine that is continually sending us less and less TARGETED traffic and already probably sends you only half targeted traffic and half traffic that immediately bounces.
Expect that to keep happening and STOP PLAYING THEIR GAME. You can never win if you’re playing someone else’s game and the rules favor the house (hint: a good reason why gambling and games of chance are a waste of time and money that could be invested in worthwhile activities).
The way to win is to play OUR game that is fair to all who participate.

It is easy to find relevant Twitter followers. See my Twitter Best Practices post – especially step #7 – and if it isn’t clear how to do it just comment in that post or send a regular tweet to @GrowMap and I’ll assist you.

I do the FF on the Twitter but not link roundups. Link roundups are great, though!
