Continue reading if you’re ready for another blogging tip that will help you increase the number of backlinks to your blog.

Dofollow And Nofollow Blogs

The Blogosphere has two kinds of blogs; Dofollow and Nofollow blogs.

Nofollow Blogs are blogs that implement a nofollow attribute to their external links (rel=”nofollow”). This is usually implemented on the links in their comments, which prevent search engines from crawling the website they are linking to. As a result, you don’t get any link juice from leaving your comments on them.

Nofollow attribute in comment is used by most blogging platform (i.e. Wordpress and Blogger) by default. This is done in an attempt to curb the number of spammers.

Dofollow Blogs on the other hand are blogs that don’t implement the nofollow attribute in their external links, which means to say that leaving your comments and reactions on their posts will reward you with a backlink.

How To Know Whether A Link Is Dofollow?

If you would like to get more backlinks to your blog while you leave your comments, you should comment on dofollow blogs. But how do you know whether links in the comment of a blog are made dofollow?

The first thing you can do is to view the page source of a particular page. Look at how links in the comments are coded. A nofollow link has the “nofollow” attribute in it and it looks like any of these:

<a rel="nofollow" href="External Link">Anchor Text</a> or
<a rel="external nofollow" href="External Link">Anchor Text</a>

The other method is to use Mozilla Firefox as your internet explorer and download and install the Search Status Plugin. The Search Status Plugin will enable you to quickly check on the Alexa Traffic Rank and Google Page Rank of every webpage you view.

Using your mouse, right click on the “Q” icon found just before the Google page rank and choose “Highlight Nofollow Link”. All Nofollow links of every webpage you view will be highlighted in pink. For a more detailed information, you can read my previous post on Search Status Plugin.
