Dofollow blog Directories & Social Media by Arjen Tienkamp

Last week I decided to become a dofollow blog. Not only to encourage comments, but also because I think that people should be rewarded for adding a valuable comment.

For those who don't know (yet): By default your blog adds a "nofollow" tag to the website addresses of the people commenting at your blog. So if you comment on a nofollow blog, it doesn't help you to gain a higher pagerank or get more backlinks. By removing this tag with a plugin like DoFollow, your readers receive a backlink when they comment.

The only problem with this technique is that some people only post useless comments in order to get a backlink. There probably are lots of solutions for this problem, like plugins which remove the nofollow tag after the second (or any number you set) comment of the reader, or you can moderate your comments manually (like I do) but that's not what this post is about.

After I removed the nofollow tag, I added my website to some directories for dofollow blogs.
