Why Choose to ‘ DO FOLLOW ‘ your Blog
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
One thing that I have been doing to my blogs since day one is setting them to be ‘DO FOLLOW ‘. The reason that I set my blogs for do follow is simple. People are contributing to content on my blog and basically that is my way of saying thanks! Its simple the user liked what you have to say so thank them back by giving them a free back link!
- Strip no follow from comment links, ping backs and track backs (default).
- Selectively apply no follow to any comment link you do not like to support.
- Selectively apply no follow to any comment author link you do not like to support.
- If you like to open your comment links in a new window you can do that.
This way if there is someone who left good feedback but you do not want to give them a back link you can remove it. I am very surprised that the top bloggers out there are not currently using this method. This is a free download and it takes only a second to install.
Thanks, easy to install. I suppose I should write something on my sidebar to alert other bloggers about it.
yes this is something that every blogger should know about.
And what’s stopping people like me from simply posting gibberish to get Google juice? I wrote a similar article on why I don’t do “dofollow”
I couldn’t agree more. If you offset the outgoing link by having more internal links on your page, it makes sense. You have about 50 internal links, and 40 external links on this page. I think I would like to see more internal links compared to external links.
Patric that is why you would review the comment first.
I totally agree with you, I removed nofollow from all my comments too to increase people commenting.
very interesting, but I don’t agree with you
