Do Follow Bloggers

Do Follow Bloggers

This is a list of blogs that have removed the tags from the comment area on their blogs. By removing this tag, or using the Do Follow Wordpress plugin to remove the no follow tag, these bloggers are making the links that their visitors leave when they sign a comment count towards backlinks for their site.

The more “real” links that you have on websites, the better for your site as the search engines will count these links towards your sites popularity and it might help boost your sites page rank too.

Update July 31: This site and our other blogs are now Using Lucia’s Linky Love do follow plugin. This is a wordpress plugin. I do not know of any plugins for other blogging platforms. There’s been a rash of human generated comment spam and this new plugin allows you to set how many comments a visitor needs to leave (with same domain url) before their comment link will follow. You can reward your regular loyal readers much better with this plugin.

Important - This site uses Lucia’s Linky Love plugin - that’s why the links do not follow for those who are visiting this site for the first time and have only left a couple of comments. I’ve been getting snarky comments lately about this site not following and that’s simply not true.

Note: Many of the comments below are from new visitors so they do not follow. If the person has become a regular visitor their comments will follow when they’ve left enough comments on this blog. - end Update

Leave a comment or send me an email (dragonden AT rogers DOT com) if you’d like to join the list. Please state in your email that you’d like to get on the blogroll. Some people just write to tell me that they are a Do Follow blogger and I’m not sure that they want to join the blogroll or not. LOL

I have an email with full instructions on adding a blogroll to a number of different types of blogging software, all you have to do is follow the directions!

You must not use the no follow tag, and you must be willing to place the blogroll on your site in order to join.

Your site should also have a fair amount of regular posts and not be too young. I’ve had a number of people asking to join the list and their site is brand new with only two or three posts. I want active sites on this list and a site with only a few posts on it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll still be posting in it next month. However a site that has three solid months of regular posts is probably written by a blogger who will continue to work on the site. So please, make sure your site has a lot of regular posts in it before you apply to join the list.

Also - if your site has comments closed to only registered members, only blogspot members or members of a particular site (ie xanga, livejournal) they cannot truly be considered a nofollow blog as the link would only go to their profile and not their actual site. Moderated comments are fine, but as I said, comments closed to site membership do not qualify.

I shouldn’t have to say this, but I’m only accepting blogs on the blogroll - not websites. Your blog should also be written in English or have a large portion of English posts as the majority of Do Follow List members have blogs that are written in English.

Also, if you are leaving me a comment but haven’t yet added the blogroll to your site, or learned how to take the nofollow tags off your blog - please don’t include a list of your blogs in your comment. Comments that include several links go to spam and it’s a little more work to pull them out of spam and reply to them. Also .. if you list your sites I tend to check them .. if I don’t really have to do that yet I’d rather wait until you are all ready for me with blogroll and “follow” tags in place. Thanks!

This page was originally created in April of 2007, but I respond to the comments that are left almost daily. Do not be afraid that you are leaving a comment on an old post that won’t be read. I reply to almost all comments.

** Also, if by chance you join the list and decide to go back to being a nofollow blog at a later date please have the courtesy to tell me. Please?

Zorn, from Don’t fear the Truth was kind enough to make us some special graphic logos to use with the blogroll.

If you’d like to use one of these logos above your copy of the blogroll, or in your link to your Do Follow blogroll page please feel free to save the one of your choice to your computer. Do not link to the image - that’s hotlinking and I will not appreciate it at all. Just right click over the image and save it to your computer and then upload it to your server. Ok?

here are your choices:

    Sorry to sound like an idiot, but I’m not certain of what you mean by ‘the blogroll’. I’ve added Tricia’s Musings to my blogroll with link to this page. Or does this mean that I am to add everyone on this list to my blogroll?

  44. Tricia (389 comments.) Says:
    April 23rd, 2007 at 5:28 am

    Vedis you can’t use the do follow plugin on a blogger blog but you can look at your template … I think somewhere in the comment module? (I don’t use blogger so I’m not sure where ) and look for the words “No Follow” or “Rel No Follow” in the code. Change the code so it only says follow in those areas and you will be an I follow or Do follow blogger.

    Once you do that I’d be happy to send you a copy of the blogroll code so that you can add it to your site (and I’ll add you to the list at that point too). You can put the blogroll code in your sidebar, or in a post - just link the post to your sidebar so the blogroll can be found easily.

    Hope that answers your question.

    First off really nice blog, only problem is it takes a bit of time to load. That could just be my network connection today but thought I would let you know just in case. Glad to see the DoFollow movement is continuing to grow. I believe in rewarding commenters regardless if they post one contributing comment a month or twenty. Speaking of which, I found your blog while researching for my latest challenge the DoFollow Pingback Challenge. I have DoFollow turned on for my blog and the challenge is to see how long it takes me to find 100 blogs that have it on as well. Hope you pop over and take a look, either way glad I found your blog.
