Search a List of ‘DoFollow’ Blogs

November 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I have a new favorite ‘DoFollow’ search engine:

http://www.inlineseo.com/dofollowdiver/

This search engine finds blogs that do not use the ‘no-follow’ tags on their comments section.  In addition, this particular search engine finds blogs that use the ‘Top Commentator’ or ‘CommentLuv’ plugins.

So what does this mean for you?

See if you can ‘follow’ this chain of logic.  (insert pun groan here):

  1. part of good SEO and ranking is by having related sites link into your site
  2. part of good SEO is having those inbound links be about your particular keyword phrase
  3. many blogs use a ‘no-follow’ tag on links in their comment section.  That tag prevents search engines from following the link.  In other words, even if you have a link from a comment section of another blog to your site, the Google spider will not find and index your page by crawling it…it ignores the no-follow links.
  4. SOME blogs do not use the no-follow tag.
  5. ergo, if you post a comment on those particular blogs, you are creating inbound links for the search engines to find and count.
  6. In addition, CommentLuv is a WordPress plugin that will search your blog’s feed when you post a comment on a blog with it installed. It then places a link to your most previous post in the comment you wrote, for some extra link juice to an internal link on your blog.

And even more: Top Commentator is a WordPress plugin that allows the people who comment the most on a blog within a certain time frame (usually a month), a sitewide link, usually in the sidebar of the blog. This is great not only for great backlinks on every page of a dofollow blog, but also a great, free advertising opportunity.

To take advantage of this, you:

  1. enter a search term related to your niche or your website
  2. visit the blogs the search engine returns
  3. read the post and make a RELEVANT comment
  4. USE YOUR KEYWORD PHRASE AS YOUR NAME!! This is very important because it is the anchor text for the inbound link.

That’s it!  Adding a couple of comments on these blogs per day from various blogs creates a nice steady build of inbound links using your anchor text.  In addition, if you are one of the top commentators on a particular site (sometimes with as few as 1-3 posts in a given period of time), you now have site-wide exposure from that blog…that’s many pages, usually, with inbound links.

So, search the list of ‘DoFollow’ blogs, start commenting, and drive traffic to your site!

    Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic.
    Nice article about backlink strategy. Many times bloggers focus on just 1 thing they are doing right and fail to understand that backlinking is 1 of many things bloggers must do to gain traffic. You need the total package. I know many of you are looking for free backlinks, but I got to say, there are other ways to get them…
    Think outside the box for backlinks and they will come more naturally.
    Regards
