UPDATE 2014: I DO NOT recommend comments in blogs be dofollow because you are more likely to be penalized for inbound and outbound link penalties if they are. I also recommend you turn off keywords if you were permitting them.
THE COMMENTS IN THIS BLOG ARE NOFOLLOW
and ALL SPAM IS DELETED! STOP SPAMMING!
UPDATED Sep 24, 2011
A DoFollow site is one that allows the search engines to follow a link from their site to yours. This increases the number of incoming links to your site, increases the likelihood that someone will locate you when searching, and improves your site’s position in the search engines. We all have a limited amount of time so why not make it count?
Focus your NEW community building in blogs that believe in dofollow! Read about How KeywordLuv Benefits us All
- DoFollow blogs are more likely to have really active and loyal communities and commentators
- Bloggers who believe in Do Follow are far more likely to visit and comment in YOUR blog
- They have a positive effect on your blog’s position in search engines like Google
Do remember to maintain your involvement in any active communities you’re already visiting and keep an eye out for quality blogs and visit them even if they are not DoFollow. Then use the DoFollow Tools linked below to find new places to participate.
The use of DoFollow and plugins like CommentLuv, KeywordLuv, Lucia’s Linky Love (anyone have a link that works or know if the Lucia’s Linky Luv plugin still works?) and others is growing so spend some time and select blogs that you will really benefit from interacting with because the content they offer adds value to what you do. Implement plugins that encourage conversations.
WARNING: Some blogs that Use CommentLuv and/or KeywordLuv are No Follow. We use the Highlight NoFollow links function in the SEOBook Toolbar to verify them. We also recommend adding your dofollow sites to and and using this Verify Dofollow service.
Some blogs do revert to no follow because it does take a little more time to manage SPAM. The lists below will contain some blogs that are not still DoFollow but they are still valuable for locating blogs. You can usually use the SEOBook SEO Toolbar to instantly see whether comment links in a blog are dofollow or nofollow. (Some sites do block this function).
Or use the DoFollow Blog Search Engine to quickly determine if blogs are really Do Follow. You can also use that tool directly to search by keyword. It returns only those blogs that are confirmed to be Do Follow at the time of your search.

Hi Vijay,
No matter what anyone says, backlinks are still necessary for a site to rank. See http://threadwatch.org/node/35507
There are some examples of sites ranking for long-tail phrases, but only if there is not much competition. Speaking of backlinks, when you comment here if you have a legal site I won’t remove your links. I just can’t let you link to a site that enables copyright infringement.
Do you have any legit sites you can use when commenting?

thanx for sharing with us a great do follow blog list.. i like it. it may be helping me to get some more back links…
Woww… Great information about dofollow. Thank you so much
Well, in building my backlinks, I look at my competitors and check their backlinks, then I only click on the dofollow links and post on them.
One thing I will discourage people to do is to submit your website in automated submission websites
This is An excellent list. I was searching for this information and it is great that I found this site. I appreciate your efforts. Do you have a list of blogs in jewelry niche?
Yes KeywordLuv or commentLuv are great because i fed up of removing spam comments that says “Buy Viagra say” or “seo expert says” or watch TV on line says”. You have to give some value to the post if you want build a quality backlinks strategy. Thank you
I agree 100%, this is a myth from old SEO’s that remained until today. A link from a PR7 .gov or .edu has the same value as the link from a PR7 .com domain, the only real thing to look for is that the link comes from a related site to your content. But, so called SEO gurus still push this myth and there are plenty SEO newbies trying to get something that is almost impossible.

Dofollow links may be a good idea for a blog, but what would you do with spammers (like me now 🙂 ) who post there message just to post it (not like me though). So, can one make a dofollow blog but not spend too much time on moderation in order to get rid of spammers.
Hi Vince,
I do my best to convert spammers to blog readers who leave valuable comments so that they benefit both the blogger and their blog, site or business.
growmap would love you to read ..CommentLuv Premium Official Launch SALE PRICE Starts TODAY ~ Bonuses and Low Price Thru Nov 30
Hi Vince,
We are all socially responsible net users. Rather cluttering a blog with irrelevant contents, I would prefer to stick with 5 to 10 high PR blogs, which are relevant to my content and comment on their posts on a regular basis – as a sensitive and responsive commentator.
DoFollow blogs are obviously the best source of backlinks. Bloggers make a dofollow blog to get instant popularity; in return commentators get quality backlink from an established blog. A good deal for both side.
But we the commentators can offer the bloggers an incentive by offering a link back from our website by writing a review, Press Release on behalf of the blogger. I think we should incentivize the dofollow bloggs for their bonhomie, which I am going to make a habit. Are You?
Thanks a lots for sharing your great blog with us.
thanx for sharing the list

alan would love you to read ..Google Page Rank Update November 2011
Wow thank you so much for putting together such a great article so packed with resources.
I have one curiosity about dofollow that I haven’t been able to answer yet – somebody on Ana Hofmans (great) blog said something like ‘I don’t mind giving away some link juice to someone who comments on my site’ which to me implies that by making your site dofollow you are therefore ‘losing’ some link juice (whatever link juice is).
Does it basically mean when your site is being crawled that the crawler leaves your site and goes off somewhere else? Sorry for the naiivete of the question but I am a little confused by it.
I love the idea of sharing, have ccommentluv (which I really like) and always give credit where cerdit is due but our site is very new and I’m trying to build ranking and traffic, I’m considering making it dofollow (though I don’t acctually know how yet) but I’m also worried that if I do so it may slow my own progress in terms of rankings/traffic (or how much ‘juice’ I get??)
Not sure if that’s an easy one to answer but I’m goiing to take a look bacck over this article a few times when I have a little more time (you have crammed it so paccked with info it will take me a while!!)
p.s. one thing we do focus on on our site is really great quality content which I heard is the main thing for ranking now these days anyway, right?
many thanks for your help & best wishes,
Alan
Alan would love you to read ..Soya: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Hi Alan and welcome to GrowMap,
When people talk about link juice they are referring to Google PageRank and the theory that the amount of “juice” a particular page has is divided among the outgoing links on that page so the more dofollow links there are the less “juice” that page keeps and each other link gets.
I am not certain that anyone REALLY knows for sure exactly how PageRank is calculated and it could change at any time so even if you devised a way to test it the results might not be true for long; however, there are many who believe they know:
How is PageRank calculated
Google page ranking algorithm
Because Google has a monopoly on search many obsess over search engine traffic but focusing on that is going to lead to a dead end as they first send less targeted traffic and then less and less traffic.
It is much wiser to focus on real people instead and to use links for their original purpose: an easy way to get to additional information. Bloggers who collaborate provide an alternate path for visitors and there are separate communities of bloggers that exist primarily because of a difference in ethical positions.
You can see what I mean by that in my post on Blogging Ethics.
growmap would love you to read ..Learn How to Get Noticed Online AND Get CommentLuv Premium, Too!
Thanks for the response, I figured it’s a bit like that – i.e. something that a lot of people comment on (pardon the pun) but no-one really knows.
Whenever people talk about ‘tactics’ for traffic that always seems like a bad approach anyway. The fact that Google are so good at what they do kind of dictates to me that the best way is to simply write good comments and make everything genuine including the links in your articles. That’s what I feel most comfortable with in any case!
Doesn’t stop me trying to learn what everyone is on about with these various terms (link juice, outgoing, ingoing, shake it all about going, on page, off page, backlinks, one-way, do-follow, no-follow, keywords, meta data, long tail keywords…) all of these were completely alien to me not so long ago but I’m getting there – thanks for helping me to understand one more term in your alien language 😉

This post is brilliant. I’ve read many posts on the DoFollow topic, but none were so detailed, specific and helpful. I kinda feel the need to spread the word and share this post with all bloggers I know. I think that IS what I’ll do! Thanks dear for this lesson on plugins! Love, Flora
Commenting on sites with DoFollow links are indeed very helpful to our site’s ranking. This is also another way of gaining more traffic. By the way, thanks for sharing the above information. I really found this very helpful.

growmap would love you to read ..DoFollow CommentLuv Lists Being Updated
I try to use both keywordluv and commentluv on my blog like yours,but failed..the keywordluv doesn’t appear…
About blogs my experience is different. Once a list is do follow and on another day blogger make it no follow.Continuous research is required to keep this list updated.
Hello Naveed,
Yes, some bloggers intentionally start out dofollow and then switch and others change from dofollow to nofollow based on the erroneous assumption that spammers only target do follow blogs (that is untrue) or because they’re afraid Google will penalize them. (Our Pagerank went down here instead of up because we allow so many dofollow comments. Most likely it should be PR5 and dropped from PR4 to PR3. That is not good for the dofollow movement but I’m not changing my mind.)
If more people were less selfish and stopped leaving really awful spam and focused on sites that are appropriate for mixed company instead of vices there would be more dofollow blogs.
While I am generous with approving comments, leave just one that goes to adult content and every comment you’ve left will immediately be deleted to make sure you never do that again. Those who offer link building services need to have some common sense about it.

There are trade-offs to everything and every comment is not going to be exceptional. Even extraordinary people write ordinary comments some of the time.
I don’t worry about link juice. Blogs are for people. Search engines are for people. Better to support small businesses and bloggers than kiss up to the power hungry who want us to play their games.

This is such an amazing collection and information for dofollow sites. My favorite tool for checking do follow and pagerank is Quirk for Firefox.
Thanks!
You shouldn’t be because we don’t recommend commenting on blogs just for backlinks. What we recommend is that businesses and those who work with them should be regular readers of blogs related to their business.
Commentators do not ONLY get backlinks – they also create relationships with people with common interests and attract real people back to their sites.

What is the best way to deal with spam on a blog? I’m receiving such a amount of spam comments that I’m considering changing to nofollow!
Hi Woodie,
It was making us nuts too – until Phil Hollows who created the FeedBurner alternative FeedBlitz encouraged Andy Bailey who created the CommentLuv plugin to write an Anti-spambot plugin to solve the problem. See that link for why it really works.
We went from 1000+ spam a day to less than 40 total comments. Apparently most spam is left by bots and blocking them eliminated most of our spam problems.

Thank you for all these great resources! Backlinking is one of the biggest parts of SEO and there are so many people that have nofollow on their blogs. It gets frustrating. I understand why they do it, but not everyone is out to spam them. Instead of making a blog nofollow, you’d think they would make a system where the user is required to use so many characters or something. I guess then someone could just write jiberish and still get a link. There’s always someone who ruins it for the rest of us.
In a WordPress plate form keyword Luv is plug-in that makes links do follow. On do follow blogs there is always danger of attacks of spammers.
In this post all information is related to sites that have do follow links that is requirement of search engines for ranking.
Thank you! I have a much better understanding of dofollow and what it means. I think it can only benefit everyone to have dofollow lists, but allow yourself the freedom of moderation. I really don’t care if someone posts on my blog just to get the back link.
Thank you for all these great resources. I’m just working on my dofollow/backlinking and it’s very tedious! All of these resources you provided will help me a lot. If you had to choose just one tool/resource, which would it be? I’m doing a trial of a niche profit classroom right now and it has a great keyword tool. I wish there was a tool that would let you know if a blog was nofollow if there aren’t comments already posted. If they aren’t posted, you have to check the page source, which is time consuming. You’d think that would be on someone’s list of trying to figure out a tool. lol Or maybe there is one?
I am so pleased with your article. Great list and thanks for sharing. In my opinion, both do follow and no follow blogs are essential to a website. It does not matter whether its do follow or not. It depends on the intent and purpose of the blog owner in question. What is clear, both have advantages and disadvantages of each.

I have no objection to your using my list; however, I have not tested the links and updated the list is some time or verified that all of these are still dofollow so you may want to check them out before you publish.
Some bloggers switch back and forth but those who are firmly in the dofollow camp as most of those should be will not. There are other lists on this blog including my How CommentLuv Grows Businesses and Blogs post.

I’ve been reading that some SEO experts are finding through testing that do follow vs no follow is not the big deal we thought it was and that you get almost as much link juice from a no follow link as you do a do follow link. Has anyone else found this to be true?
Hi Tayna,
I have not personally tested so I can not say for sure; however, I can share that IF nofollow really meant no follow those links would not show up in indexes – and they do – so they clearly got followed.
Another point I often make is that pagerank is not necessarily all that important. Would you rather have high pagerank or more traffic? I have seen many blogs that lost their PR but did not lose any traffic. What really counts is whether those who are your target audience visit your site – not what artificial number your site has attached to it.
Yes, there are people who look at PR and judge a blog’s value by it, but those with more wisdom know to look at PostRank, Compete, Alexa, Technorati and other data to get the real picture of a site’s influence.

One other thing that many don’t think about. When I am searching for related content to read, I comment on blogs I find. I note whether they’re dofollow or not. I will comment ONCE if they are nofollow, but they don’t go on my list of blogs to read and share.
There already is and will continue to be a great divide as more top bloggers must limit which blogs they have time to interact with and favor those that are dofollow. I do not choose to reward bloggers who take and do not give back and recommend that other bloggers not encourage that type of selfish behavior either.

Hi Raymund,
That would be a great list to have, wouldn’t it. As of now there have been 7,268 downloads (although many are upgrading between versions) so that would be quite a list to build.
I am far too busy right now to do that; however, if anyone has started such a list or is interested in volunteering I am happy to assist, publish and promote their list.
The bloggers I interact with most including those in my post about BizSugar and small business advice post most likely all use GASP and only one or two would not have deleted Akismet.
growmap would love you to read ..Why We Need Group Geo-Targeted Niche Blogs
I have found a lot of tricks for finding dofollow blogs but what I wish I could find is a search engine that would allow me to export all the links to excel. For example when I search for taxes then I get a lot of URLs but I search for 1040ez and sometimes I get the same URLs and it makes it difficult to prevent myself from going to the same blogs. Excel would help me with this I think.
Having a dofollow blog is very rewarding as it makes people want to contribute more and everyone wins! With the keywordluv plugin I think it is important to moderate all comments or install a spam filter as we don’t want the spammers ruining it for the rest of us!
I can say this post have been helped most of peoples like me.
Thanks for this info.
Thanks for this list,
I personally think dofollow is great but of course you should protect your blog for spammers. I owned a blog but that got totally messed up by those suckers.
Today there are some new captchas you can try!
[We recommend you try our GrowMap anti-spambot plugin instead of Captchas. <<< Click that link to find out why.]
Thanks for this info. I believe this post have been helped most of peoples including me. Backlink is a prior subject for me now since I have been successfully creating a blog. I’m guessing lots of your posts are informative and I really need and spend my time to read them

Hello,
I asked one of my friends Kristi Hines of Kikolani who is an SEO expert. She said she does not believe that php redirects have any SEO value at all.

Thanks for sharing so much useful information. It probably will take couple days to go through all websites listed here 🙂
you can check if the blog is do-follow by using search status or other plug-in like seobook which will highlight the links with no-follow attributes. Even some blogs with commentluv are no follows so we better check before we start our campaigns.
I like this information. Thanks for sharing this informative post!

Great information. I wish we had a larger list of where we can post while being banned from Akismet! LOL, I am so frustrated to find all of this great information and YET I can’t post as they vanish into thin air!! I hope to be up and running again in no time to get to work on this great information you have blogged about.
Hello App,
There are a rapidly growing number of bloggers using our new GrowMap anti-spambot plugin instead of Akismet.
If there is a checkbox asking you to confirm you’re not a spammer that blog hsa the plugin installed. The wording is editable but you’ll find that CommentLuv bloggers use it and we comment in each other’s blogs so you can follow links from comments to find other blogs.
Be sure to read their commenting policies as they vary betwen blogs. Some require you to use a name and not just keywords – sometimes even if they have KeywordLuv installed.
Read my information about CommentLuv default links for an even better way to build links when leaving REAL (non-spammy comments).

Yea great stuff! And to see it has over 600 comments I guess everyone needs backlink advice. Very informative.
I’m a huge believer in do follow links, and I agree with a lot of the information in this article. I learn’t about the nofollow tag a few years back and since then have been trying hard to obtain only nofollow links for my mortgage broker website. However recently I’ve been reading that nofollow links can actually help your backlink profile because they are more natural. What do you guys think about this, should I be trying to get a balance of followed and non followed links?
Hi Mortgage,
You want to get both nofollow and dofollow links so that your link building efforts look more natural. They aren’t really nofollow anyway because the search engines find them so that means their crawlers must have found them.
Links are the currency of the Internet and Big G’s games surrounding links are intended to favor their buddies and keep small business from competing. So-called no follow links can still be valuable for SEO.

Great dofollow information. Too much for one sitting. Will have to bookmark and read more tomorrow. Thanks
I wen to Kikolani for High PR DoFollow Blogs, but it seems that although the blog links do have high PR, they are all root page. When I went to the individual blog, PR becomes either 0 or unranked.
One big disadvantage with opening up for dofollow links on comments is all the spam comments. Choosing blogs to follow and communities to participate in only because of the link juice and with Page Rank and organic search engine result pages is generating a lot of extra work for me even with Akismet and other tools. Forum comment spam is even more annoying. I run several websites and communities with good PR that is suffering from beeing attacked by link builders with “unethical” and spammy methods.
In 2009 I started using moderating of all blog comments, but the negative impact is less engagement and fewer discussions. To bad actually 🙁
I agree forum comment spam is terrible and it seems you always have to be on top of the latest updates otherwise they find ways around the captchas. With blogging at least the spam doesn’t leak onto your site if you are using good spam plugins. I recently switched from Akismet to Growmap’s own Anti Spambot Plugin and that has cut down on the spam I have to deal with tremendously – you may want to give that a try it will save you some time.

Hi Trond, Chris,
There are lists of known forum spammers and that is where I usually look when someone new asks to gain entrance. Just doing that eliminates a lot of problems.
Eventually more commentators will learn that quality participation beats spammy practices every time and they will start writing better comments and only commenting in sites in the niches where they wish to build links instead of totally unrelated sites.
Chris, isn’t the G.A.S.P. anti-spambot plugin a blessing? The spam in Akismet and the number of my best commentators who were flagged as spammers was enough to discourage even me from wanting to blog! Glad that problem got solved!

Is there a way to find blogs that don’t have the option of instating nofollow in the future? WordPress is too easy and any amature can change his mind and use the pluggin later on…
A blog without that pluggin would require the webmaster to do a find and replace of all index.php files and FTP manually, and then again this can be risky…
Hi Andre,
No, I doubt that such a thing exists. If it were up to the largest search engine around there would be no such thing as dofollow. Have you thought about collaborating with related businesses to get even better dofollow links in their content?

It is very difficult to manage do follow blog as spammer are the main attacker on them. Plugins can handle to maximum but some slip outs.
Yeh, but you can choose to moderate comments before they can be seen on the comment section. Some are giving informative comments but left their link unrelated to the subject so you can still accept their comments and reject the link.

Hello,
The problem with auto-approve links is that they quickly fill up with really bad links that you may not want to be associated with so while having to get your comments approved may seem like a bad thing it is actually better for link builders than auto-approve links.

Thanks for the list. I do believe in offering true commenters a true link back to their own website, but I have seen many dofollow blogs become nofollow because so many seem to have no problem dropping fake comments just to score a quick backlink to their own site, or they drop a link to what many would see as a “bad neighboorhood” such as viagra, other drugs, or online gambling.
Hi Michael,
We have a new solution to the spam problem and found that most of the spam is generated by bots and that is completely blocked. With Akismet blocking so many real commentators and letting in tons of spammy comments we were being buried in a sea of spam – 1000+ a day!
Our new plugin solves both problems and is spreading through the CommentLuv blogging community (because Andy at CommentLuv wrote the plugin for us).

I believe that proper use of dofollow blogs will drive more traffic to my website, along with the use of good keywords in creating my blog entries. Because of this, I set up my website to become a dofollow in order to reciprocate with other people who put comments on my blog.
I have read about the do-follow and Top Commentor in an internet marketing forum. I am new to blogging, so these are new and exiting concepts for me. On the forum I was looking at I saw a suggestion to write in google search box:
site: your keword + “top commentator” and just replace “your keword” with a keword that is relevant to my niche. I tried it and I did get some nice results. After reading your post I realized there are much better ways for doing that sort of searching. Thank you so much! You really opened my eyes.
I believe that you have given information here which will serve as the most important portion of any online earner’s arsenal. I will be setting up a dofollow blog and will get back to you to update your list. Hopefully, I can help to make a difference.
Sharing what you’ve got was definitely a great help! Thanks for sharing those. It makes me save a lot of time from searching links.

I’m a huge believer in building links by commenting on sites that use keywordluv. In the past I mainly relied on methods such as social bookmarking. But, I believe having a more varied group of link sources is a huge advantage for the long-term prospects of your site.
Installing these plug-ins to your sites is big advantage for you. You can earn quality backlinks yet it is very easy to use. This is very functional to every blogger and same as the commentor. But everyone must take care of the spammers be alert.

The link to Lucia’s Linky Love points to an empty wordpress blog.
Thanks Jonsky,
I would fix the link but every post I’ve looked at that talks about Lucia’s Linky Love also has that same dead link in it. That is apparently where the plugin was. I looked for it in the WordPress plugins search and it isn’t there either.

Hmmm that’s interesting, I’m currently using Lucia’s Linky Love (or Lucia’sLinkLove as it is referred to in the manage plugins page) and you are right the link to the plugin site goes to that old blog from 2007 with outdated info about the plugin. I don’t remember where I downloaded the plugin from since it was about a year ago. Since it is no longer supported is there a better plugin to handle that?

I found your site thru a dofollow directory and now I am on here I have bookmarked this article as it will save me heaps of time when I want to visit a site.
My blogging coach encouraged me to have dofollow and commentluv which I have on my blog and now I am beginning to understand their importance in building my profile and also helping with links.
But the best part for me as a newbie to blogging is to now be feeling part of the blogging community. Meeting such great ppl and already some have been helping me with techie things I didn’t understand and commenting on my site which I was blown away with as they have heaps of readers themselves but just wanted to welcome and encourage me.
Of course I now visit those sites daily and I am learning heaps from not only the articles posted but also the commenters too.
Thanks again for a very useful post that I know I will be referring back to often.

As you rightly mentioned some blogs go nofollow after a while when the amount of spam they have to moderate increases. To avoid this, I added kind of a commenting policy on my blog which can only be broken via an email I send out to my loyal commentators. Comment moderation has never been easier now. I simmply hit the trash button on all comments that go against my policy and to my loyal commentators, I give the right to use any keyword of their choice etc 😉

Hi,
I have a World cup tickets related website in German Language for german speaking people(Germany, Austria and Switzerland), I promote a world cup tickets merchant on my site. I do basically php redirects to the publisher site. What do you say? Are these redirects are seen by google as do follow or no follow. Does php redirects passes some page rank to the publisher (for the anchor keywords in links). I afraid that I will loose rankings in google if I put straight links to the merchant (dofollow or nofollow) and merchant selling world cup tickets will get higher rankings in SERP’s for those keywords than my website. What is your opinion on this, should I put straight links on my worldcup tickets site to the merchant (if yes than) with dofollow or with no follow.
Thanks

Wow, this was a very nice compilation of do follow sites. I do agree that most webmasters or bloggers usually comment on do follow blogs to get a link back for their comment, although its annoying that we can have several spams a day its still recommended to create a do follow site so that we can generate more traffic and loyal visitors to our site.

Great list. Thanks for posting it. And a special thanks for being one of the good guys and making your blog dofollow and keyword luv.

Hi Ben,
It is not clear from your comment what your new site is about and your sentence does not make sense. Perhaps you know someone who can assist you with learning how to more clearly express what you mean?
I’m guessing it is a site where users submit content, the links are do-follow and other users vote the content up. Every site needs a slogan to tell us instantly what makes it different and an about page so we can clearly understand what the point of the site is.
.-= growmap´s last blog ..BizLuv MEME: How to Support Your Fav Businesses =-.
Thank you for such detailed advice. I am new to this whole world but am slowly learning the ropes. I think building additional links is a good thing and will naturally lead to more traffic.
.-= James @ Black Cat Costume´s last blog ..Privacy =-.
Just came across this site and read with interest this post about do and no follow.
I am in process of building up links for my online store and so far my experience was 80% if not more of blogs, theme related to my shop are nofollow blogs. well, I still leave a comment if the post is good and I have something relevant to say. Even a nofollow link is good enough for getting some traffic maybe. What concerns the dofollow or keywordLuv blogs so they are still hard to find and I also found out, some of them are using keywordLuv as bait, just to get commentators coming to their blog, only to remove the link a day later again or to even change it to the link to their own blog. Isn’t that lovely?
Whenever I comment on a keywordLuv blog and next time I visit that blog again and my link was for no reason removed or manipulated in any way I leave the admin a “nice” thank you note and the bookmark gets deleted.
Using keywordLuv as bait only without being serious about to honor a comment with a backlink is just disrespectful and rude.
Hello Paula Jo,
Even many bloggers who install KeywordLuv are currently opposed to it being used to benefit small businesses. They are blogger-centric and feel only other bloggers who regularly comment in their blogs should receive links.
We must all do what we can to raise awareness and understanding on why supporting small businesses both online and off is best for us all. The number of bloggers who do understand is growing; however, even on many of them you must read their comment policies and introduce yourself.
My new KeywordLuv post contains additional details as do the posts I’ve written in support of small businesses such as the one I’ll feature in the CommentLuv link in this reply.
.-= growmap´s last blog ..MEME: BizLuv in Support of Small Businesses =-.
What are the advantages of DoFollow Lists of Blogs?
Personally I use them to find others who understand the big picture and interested in collaborating to create a better world for all.
.-= growmap´s last blog ..MEME: BizLuv in Support of Small Businesses =-.
Everybody wants to leave links on dofollow blog, but I think no-follow blogs are great too. I don’t think Google is going to stop following the links if the blog is nofollow because I have had some good backlinks from some no-follow blogs.
thanks a lot, you, who invented dofollow blogs!
Actually no one “invented” do follow because that was the natural state of all links from the beginning. What we do is remove nofollow which was “invented” by Google.

There are very strong dofollow, CommentLuv and KeywordLuv communities made up of power bloggers and Social Networking users who understand the importance of promoting each other.
I have a huge commentator community because I actively participate in those communities and support those bloggers by commenting, sharing their content and especially by linking to them in posts.
I just published a post specifically about KeywordLuv that is garnering support from that community. I’ll feature it in their reply so you and others can read about why I strongly recommend it.

.-= tom@supplemental dental plans´s last blog ..Do Follow Blog, Comment Luv Keyword Luv =-.
Hi Tom,
While I do stay aware of what Google prohibits my philosophy is that blogs and Websites are for people – not search engines – so I make writing for them my priority. If Google decides they don’t like what I do I hope that enough people find me in other ways that it won’t make that much difference.
Over-reliance on Google traffic by most online businesses and especially ecommerce sites is very dangerous and currently almost impossible to avoid. I’m doing my best to find ways around that and will share them as they become available.

It’s all good knowing about the value of commenting on do-follow blogs but man it’s hard to locate them and to know if they are indeed do-follow.

I agree that one is better to have ‘do follow’ and some ‘no follow’ sites that have authority because I have heard that Google sees a site that has only ‘do follow’ links as a spam.

Hello Ahmed,
It is considered best to have a mix of different types of links. While Google could decide to discriminate against dofollow sites, it won’t be because they only have dofollow links.
Even do follow sites like this one have nofollow links because professional designed WordPress Themes like Thesis nofollow unimportant navigational links.

Great post, making your blog comments do-follow will encourage more people to leave comments on your blog because of the value of the links they get from this. Anything that encourages people to visit and comment on your blog posts is a good thing.
A good option to attract genuine readers is to allow regulars to post a “follow” link, for example once they have made a certain number of other posts, or been a member for some months.
Excellent lsit Thanks you

Great advise and the list is very handy. Social networking and bookmarking sites do work pretty well, if you use them properly. The idea is to use them constructively and not spam each one, for most people it becomes a lot of work to manage a lot of accounts.

Hi GeekTool,
I approved your comment even though you put another link in it to use as an example of a better way to add links in comments. First I want to warn that some bloggers will automatically delete comments that contain any links and that includes some dofollow and CommentLuv or KeywordLuv enabled blogs.
I have no problem with commentators sharing relevant links in their comments and suggest that for maximum effectiveness for the site you are linking to that you take the time to learn how to create links with anchor text in them.
Instead of just using the URL put AFTER the URL and it will show up like this: Geek Tools
I recommend all those who leave quality, relevant links in their comments start doing this correctly. Save the entire string for your most linked posts so you can copy and paste them as you work. I put mine in a Tomboy Notes because one typo and your link won’t work and most blogs don’t have edit functionality yet.
The whole point of KeywordLuv is so you can choose the phrase and the link and don’t have to add the html to create your own links. If you just want to create one link all you have to do is put the page you want to link to in the Website field and the anchor text (best keyword phrase) you want to use in the name field like this:
YourName @ Anchor Text
That will link the page you put in the Website field from the words you put as your Anchor Text.
One of the more outstanding ideas someone has come up with – really in my eyes, when you have visitors writing well thought, and knowledgeable responses to articles, they too deserve some credibility – thanks!
Welcome Venus,
My sentiments exactly. Glad to have you here and hope you’ll be a regular reader and commentator. See the comment below for our liberal “we love relevant links” policy.

Hi Tanmay,
Many believe that avoiding dofollow and putting nofollow on links – or even refusing to link altogether – increase PageRank. While that may be true I believe that dofollow is best for the good of all and so is being generous with links. They definitely create a much stronger sense of community and far more comments.
Yeah nofollow links and blogs are garbage. I will not even comment on a “nofollow” blog, why help the blog site with content, if they give you jack in return?Thanks for the dofollow blog sir.
I have begun using keywordluv on my website, and it works really well. People write a lot of good content that gives me unique content and gives them a good backlink. A win-win for both sides. But beware, you will have to ignore / delete a lot of spam comments.

Welcome Angie,
I love CommentLuv and KeywordLuv and we too use them on all our blogs. As long as a dofollow blog works to delete poor quality and spam comments they will find their commentators do leave good comments.
Since this blog is a learning resource I am more tolerant of weak comments left by those who are new to commenting or are not native English speakers than most. I hope my readers will understand that I would rather guide my readers to improve their skills than throw them out because their writing isn’t very strong yet.

Not everyone agrees with dofollow but I feel it is good to make it easy for small businesses to get higher visibility. Nofollow links do still get indexed and there are many quality blogs that choose to be nofollow,
Although I do read and share many sites that are nofollow, more and more I have decided dofollow bloggers are where I will focus the majority of my time.

Welcome Mack,
I do update it regularly and ask that my commentators provide feedback so I can keep it accurate. There is no easy way to keep track of dofollow blogs because so many switch to nofollow thinking that will stop the spam. It won’t but they don’t know that.
Did you notice the green certified DoFollow emblem in the right sidebar here? They actively monitor blogs so their search is probably going to be the most accurate of the options provided on this page.
I followed you at Twitter and added you to my SEO / SEM list there.
I have an idea for your site. There is a huge interest in horse property and no real estate site I’ve ever seen provides the information horse owners need to know. That is a great niche to target even in Las Vegas. I have advertised some multi-million dollar horse properties there in the past.

Welcome Jessica,
Anyone with even a basic idea of how search engine optimization works should make the effort to learn to use KeywordLuv and gain valuable links including getting to choose their specific anchor text.
As you can see in any blog that uses KeywordLuv many do not really understand it. I also recommend not always using the same anchor text and growing your incoming links organically.

I research, test, and share strategies that work and focus on bringing together major amounts of information in one place and then keeping it updated. While that doesn’t work nearly as well as writing daily blog posts for keeping traffic numbers up it does have the benefit of being highly applicable to growing businesses and blogs – both mine and those of my readers.
I hope you’ll subscribe to PSP Living now so you will know when we finally have time to launch it. Like this blog it is DoFollow and offers CommentLuv and KeyWordLuv and there will be information there closely related to your own site.

Hello Saurabh,
Wise commentators take the time to write better comments knowing that they are not just incoming links – they are also a reflection of the writer and their Web site. Great comments attract real visitors as well as keep your comments from being deleted.

Dofollow is the way to quality blogs i really believe so, since i have noticed that if i use nofollow that most of the comments that i get are spam, and if i make it to be dofollow i get the quality comments and spam too…
I do not approve spam anyways but why not have quality comments too 🙂
A recommendation to all bloggers is to join the movement with the rest of the websites with quality comments 😉

Hello Manie,
Much of what we share here could easily be sold instead. We prefer to make it available to those who most need it – and that would be those who can not afford to pay for it or who do not understand the value well enough to want to buy it.
We also provide personal responses to questions and offer suggestions. In your case you should take advantage of the KeywordLuv plugin we provide to link your comments to your site using relevant keyword phrases. When you comment put Manie@Best-Web-Site-Host in the Name field and instead of linking from the name Manie your link will be on the words Best-Web-Site-Host.
That is valuable for improving your positions in the search engines and allows other readers here to know what your site is about in case they are interested. You can also use other phrases like Manie@web-hosting or Manie@hosting-comparison.

I’ll agree with ANSH from Richmond Hill Windows,it is true that our blogs get quick results in keywordluv blogs.
Hello Gifts,
I assume that you and ANSH mean that the KeywordLuv blogs allow you to get faster results in improving search engine ranking for that specific keyword phrase. That only makes sense and others need to understand how important anchor text can be.
For those who don’t know, anchor text is the words that are being linked – giftsdirect for example in the comment I am replying to here.

In my opinion, excellent quality, relevant inbound links will help customers and search engines find your business website best. Getting back links/ inbound links from do follow is very easy. But getting quality back links/ inbound links is a difficult task.
Hello anshul,
Do you believe dofollow incoming links are not of the same quality? While links within the body of posts are considered stronger, as long as your comments are in related blogs, dofollow links are of high quality.

When I do searches for do follow blogs that are in my niche there are only a couple. But there are so many that are no follow. Do you feel I am better off doing comments on non-related do follow, or related no follow? I hear that no follow is not completely ignored.
Hi Tracy,
Remember that your comments reach real potential buyers and that is just as important as where you are listed in the search engines. If you have stats or analytics you can use that to see which of the blogs – including the nofollow blogs – send you visitors.
Then you can prioritize them as to which are most important. When time is tight, focus on those that are dofollow and those that send real visitors. When time allows comment on some of the others.
If you can directly track conversions spend more time on sites that send buyers and not just visitors. Read Why Conversions are Vastly More Important Than Increasing Traffic for more details on why.

Surely commenting in do follow blogs is a win-win game, we need to use it in a more sagacious way.

Hi Yuva,
The thing about commenting is there are many gray areas regarding what is permissible and what is not. That is why I don’t make a lot of rules here. People are busy and you can’t really expect them to read your comment policy every time they visit or to remember your particular rules.
The really sad thing here lately is I am getting what appear to be very high quality, well-written comments but they are spam so I’ve been deleting them. That makes me wonder if I should rethink that policy.

Like most other bloggers using WordPress we do have Akismet installed. We also heavily moderate comments including those that get through Akismet and rescue valid contents that get picked up by it.
.-= Internet Strategist @GrowMap´s last blog ..Add a Twitter Field to Your Comments =-.
Here is a solution to the Spam problem. Change the posts to NoFollow and add the “Top Commentator” utility. It is unlikely that Spammers will put in the effort to reach top commentator status. They will leave. There is a huge advantage to becoming a top commentator, such as a link from each page… huge link juice. You have to really add to the conversation. Any spammer attempting this would quickly be spotted.
Hi Brian,
While that would seem to be a simple solution many bloggers find that their commentators who were adding to the conversation suddenly start leaving any old comment to achieve Top Commentator status. There is no simple solution because we can not control the bad behavior of others.
I agree that Top Commentator plugins do provide a greater advantage to those who appear in them – at least for now. It is difficult to say what Google is going to do next. They are seriously anti-dofollow.

Do follow sites are great for web trafficking. Thanks for the information, it’s really very useful.
I never heard of the Lucia’s comment plugin. But that’s the cool thing about those plugins because you just need to find a new one and start searching for it on google.
While I do not personally use Lucia’s many major bloggers do. I know that you can configure it to have new commentator’s comments nofollow until they reach a threshold number of approved comments (usually 3-10) and then all comments become dofollow.

Sites coming and going is the way of the Internet. Blogs switching to nofollow is usually due to too many poor quality spammy comments from people only interested in links and not contributing. Commentators must learn to be contributors if they want to keep getting links.

Hi Matthew,
What is all No Follow? The easy way to check is to use the SEO Toolbar because figuring it out by looking at View Source is a challenge. Note that the dates and Twitter links are nofollow and the comment links from your name and from CommentLuv posts are dofollow.
I unlinked Vegas’ comment so it is REALLY nofollow because there is no link at all.

Hi Matt,
It is really a challenge to verify dofollow using view source because most sites and all WordPress sites have many nofollow links too. Some sites block the ability to see whether they are dofollow or not but I don’t so this site is a good one to test how to use the Toolbar.

Yes DoFollow does attract comment spam; however, I still believe it is worth it to stay DoFollow. Some are concerned that Google will penalize them but we can’t make computer systems more important than people.

Hello Tina,
The reason blogs become nofollow is because they are targeted by people who are more interested in links than in adding to the quality of the discussion. Those who copy and paste get deleted most of the time – at least in blogs like this one. No one likes a spammer so the solution is to provide value with your comments.

“I use seoquake to find out if sites are do-follow.” I do that also. If the blog is nofollow I leave immediately. Otherwise, I’ll surf around and see what the blog is about! It’s more friendly too.

Hanna’s last blog post..Just Who Are You Buying From?
Hi Hanna. Welcome to GrowMap and thank you for taking the time to ask.
Apparently I should have explained that better. Originally all links were dofollow (meaning that search engines would follow them) and then Google came up with the idea to discount some kinds of links – and especially links in comments – and make them nofollow (the search engines would not follow them and they would not count toward page rank or organic search engine position).
Many bloggers felt this was unfair or unnecessary and decided to actively remove the nofollow tags and restore comment links to dofollow. Eventually Andy Bailey developed CommentLuv which allows our commentators (the proper word for commenters) to feature a specific blog post and attract more real people (as opposed to search engines).
Although it is more work (because spammers love dofollow blogs) we feel it is important to reward those who take the time to leave comments.

@Hanna Bloggers and KeywordLuv need to do a better job explaining how it works. It is somewhat backwards and even my readers who are SEO (and therefore must understand anchor text and keywords) don’t usually take advantage of it.
It is CommentLuv that I love most. I really miss it whenever I comment in other blogs where it is not available. I like to know what the bloggers who leave the most interesting comments write about in their own blogs.
I also love seeing when bloggers I frequent have new content or have shared older posts I might not have read – or that I am particularly interested in.
Every comment left here reminds me to come back to YOUR blog, and then I comment, and then I share your posts at Twitter, FriendFeed & cliKball. What other blog do you know of that works so hard to share your work and send you traffic?

@Steve CommentLuv and KeywordLuv are both extremely beneficial to bloggers interested in generating discussions and comments.

I remember when no follow first came on the scene I was pretty disappointed but once this keyword luv plugin came around I jumped for joy again.
@Rye The tools in this post verify which are dofollow and which aren;t. Any list can quickly get outdated. You might try them instead.
@Bill Masson That is always a challenge – and the reason I just published a new post on quality commenting. Hopefully it will guide some to making better comments.
@Money Academy I’m considering adding Top Commentator. When it is used I have seen it increase the quantity but reduce the quality of comments at times especially if the blog holds Top Commentator contests.
Leaving comments for the sake of increasing the numbers is bad for our readers. Perhaps our latest post will ensure comments here continue to improve in quality.

i still find it hard to see genuine do follow blogs, some claim that they are but are actually no follow suckers. Lol. thnx for the rep.
Rye’s last blog post..Pimple Definition: What is a Pimple?
Perhaps if commenter’s actually left a useful comment, like more than one line!! And gave some value to the thread then they wouldn’t get their comment deleted. Another thing to remember is that a lot of blogs do have a comments policy, but nobody bothers to read it. So if you want to build links back to your blog then put some useful information into your comments. This way you are more likely to get people clicking through your link.
Bill Masson’s last blog post..How active are you on the social networks?
@Rancho Murieta Some THINK they’re dofollow and aren’t; others have gone back to nofollow quietly. It is more work to page through all the SPAM.
@Ashique Thanks for visiting. I’ll have to check out your blogger templates to see if blogger can ever be as sophisticated as WordPress.
@Web Design Glad you like the list. I’m hoping to get busy promoting a new contest using it very soon. I would have already if the flu wasn’t recurring.
@Rye Just remember to leave quality comments – and make them a couple of sentences long and refer to something in the post so Akismet won’t label them as SPAM and the blog owner won’t have difficulty deciding whether they’re real comments and not just seeking a link.
@nano I hope you’ll come back and check out our other reference materials here.
Awesome links, everyone! I’ve got this page bookmarked now. It’s time to do some searching on topics that reflect my blog’s subject matter.
This list is interesting. Now a newbie like won’t have trouble promoting my blog. thanks for the list and tips.!
Great share and thanks for the links

You have a pretty good list there. I find that a lot of blogs claim the dofollow rules, but in reality they keep the nofollow in there. Buyer beware I guess.
Rancho Murieta’s last blog post..Bel Air/Raley’s coupon – $20 off
Hello Rancho Murieta,
Some blogs don’t realize that there is more to removing nofollow than just adding CommentLuv. Multiple plugins are required and then you still have to sometimes manually remove nofollow tags – when you edit a comment for example. Many blogs also get tired of policing all the spam and go back to nofollow.
I visited your site and wonder which Rancho Murieta where. It would be a good idea to add more location data to your site and to always include area codes in phone numbers. Not every visitor will know where you are or whether YOUR Rancho Murieta is the one they’re seeking.

@Paulo We’re all always still learning how to apply various tools and strategies. There is always more to do and more to learn.
@Peter Lee I’m glad you dropped by and commented. I’m still never totally clear on Duplicate content issues. Your post is one for me to check out.
@Bill Masson Akismet catches almost 100% of the increased SPAM I’ve gotten since I went dofollow. It doesn’t take too long to scan through it, rescue a real comment now and then, and delete the rest.
@Jasmin Wilson You are absolutely right, Jasmin. CommentLuv blogs seem to have particularly loyal commentators and I would give that plugin the most credit for increased comments here followed by the ability to subscribe to comments. That one lets us know when someone has replied to us.
In the future I’d still like to add threaded comments and the ability for commentators to edit their comments. My expert who assists with that type of thing is not available right now.
Thank you all for your comments. I do my best to answer every one personally and in a timely manner. I do hope you’ll all come back again.
I use the links you use to find new blogs to visit and to share your content at FriendFeed and Twitter.
InternetStrategist’s last blog post..What NOT To Do With Your Existing Web Site When You Upgrade or Remodel
From my experience, Do Follow blogs usually have really active and loyal communities and commentators, and this is great. They come back, read and participate on regular bases. Thank you for this great list of resources!
Jasmin Wilson’s last blog post..Fashion & Accessories
Thanks for the list. I also think it’s important to note that not all niches lend themselves well to being a “dofollow” platform. I know a link is a link is a link, but you have to be careful. For instance my http://pet-snakes.com would lose traffic if people just stopped in to comment about issues not related to the topic (I know I tried it for a few months and biggest complaint was the comments), but http://www.ablogaboutnothing.com (my other barely still breathing blog) is a great place to use dofollow.
Great resources, I am still a bit undecided on the dofollow plugin but i do use commentluv, i am thinking of dumping the dofollow plugin because of spam.

@Rose Thanks for taking the time to comment. Do check out those two tools for searching. They’re new and may end up being far more useful than static lists.

I love do-follow lists and some specific social network sites. I’m glad I found your blog. This is a mine of great information. Thanks!
@Stephan Any time. I am active full time online and share daily at Twitter and FriendFeed so those who comment here are much more likely to end up being shared elsewhere. The more bloggers who interact with me here and on those specific Social Networks the more we all benefit.
Thanks for the back link. I will have to check out the other sites.

@Dennis I do my best to create posts that are useful for future reference. I regularly add additional links and information to existing posts and link them into any new related posts.
You might check the categories and sub-categories here as I research and write comprehensive references and how-tos for bloggers, ecommerce sites covering Web design, Best Practices, Usability, Conversions, Local Listings, Social Networking, Increasing Traffic and much more.
If you have any posts related to any you see here do please share the links. I periodically move them up into the body of posts or decide a new post featuring new information is more applicable.
I hope to see you here regularly. I’m off to read and share your latest post. I share anything I find useful at FriendFeed and posts I really like at Twitter and FriendFeed.

Wow is this ever one for the resource folder. I’ll be sure to pass it on, thanks!
@seothaithai Hello. I added a link to the tool site in your comment. The other three seem to be sites for sharing similar to Digg and are not actually related to dofollow as far as I can tell. If I am incorrect please provide additional information.
@Adam from PageRush – Your blog search is the most promising solution I’ve seen so far. The more accurately blogs can be categorized the more effective they each can be – and the more useful your tool will be.
Good to know that making it dynamic so that it will always be current is your long-term goal. Most developers I know do start out with a static model and then once they get it refined upgrade it the way you’re doing.
One thing I know is that the bloggers most familiar with dofollow are heavily interested in SEO, online marketing, blogging, Social Networking, ppc, etc. and their blogs usually cover multiple subjects – but not ALL of these areas. That is what was behind my suggesting keywords and/or multiple listings for each blog.
That way if we’re posting about one area we can add links to different blogs than if we’re posting about something else. Most lists lump these all into one category or list them in only one niche when they may have several specialties.
I’d be glad to beta test, offer suggestions, and help get the word out as the development of your tool progresses. Just email, Tweet, or leave me a comment here to get my attention.
Growmap – thanks for giving PageRush a try! I will be making improvements in the coming weeks, so let me know what you want. My long term vision for PageRush is to maintain a list of keywords that you are interested in. By searching for all of the keyword phrases PageRush will identify niche blogs you should be commenting on (dofollow or otherwise).
I also would like to create a directory out of the verified dofollow sites. However, I plan to do that in a way that can be shared and re-posted without getting out of date (for example a dynamic widget).
@Martin – I agree that content is always important and that in the long term, dofollow becomes less important. But when you are launching a new blog or site, dofollow is the quickest easiest way to get indexed by Google.
Hello Martin. I’m not suggesting that we shouldn’t take the time to comment on blogs that are not dofollow blogs. I do it all the time and also share their posts at FriendFeed and Twitter.
When I can squeeze some extra time to go find new blogs though it makes sense to start with those who make an effort to create an active community because they and their readers are far more likely to participate wherever they travel online.
I don’t see this as an SEO-type thing; I see it as making an extra effort to connect with those who are the most willing to share and communicate with others.
GrowMap, hi,
I have to be honest in that I never check whether or not a blog has ‘nofollow’ set before making a comment. And I never restrict myself to only checking blogs that don’t have it set.
If there’s a good article on a blog, on which I have some thoughts to offer, I’ll leave a comment – without ever knowing whether or not ‘nofollow’ is set!
I honestly don’t think it makes any difference.
In fact, by only following blogs that do not have ‘nofollow’ set I think you’re depriving yourself of visitors.
After all – if someone visits a blog, reads your comment and thinks they’d like to have a look at what else you’ve written, they’re going to do it anyway.
Taking it to the extreme: If CopyBlogger or Jack Humphrey’s FTR had ‘nofollow’ set (and I’ve no idea whether or not they do) and one of them left a comment on your blog don’t you think people would want to take a look at what else they had to say?
To me it’s all about content. Focusing on the content, rather than on SEO-type things, is ultimately going to create more success for any site or blog.
Cheers,
Martin.

@Adam Thanks for letting us know about your new dofollow blog search engine. I’m using it today and may have more tips and strategies for using it in a future post. You may want to join CommentLuv as adding it has caused an immediate jump in comments here.
@Monty One super list would be awesome. That wasn’t what I thought you were doing when I visited your site and linked it into the post above.
I just visited that dofollow directory page. What these lists have all lacked was a quick way to hone in on niche dofollow blogs. I’m really looking forward to using this new tool.
Let us know when you have it populated or are ready to have us submit our sites so we can start driving traffic to it from Twitter and FriendFeed and blog about it.
Darn Twitter limits. I’ve got to find someone to unfollow so I can follow you there.
I just launched a new dofollow blog search engine last weekend, can you please include it in your list? All of the blogs are manually verified for dofollow and will be re-verified on an ongoing basis. I got frustrated with lists like some of the ones you link to above which are only 40% accurate.

Good resource..
as mentioned on twitter.. I am setting up a dofollow blog directory so as to aggregate as many of these dofollow blogs as possible.
