What are DoFollow links and how do they work?
Building organic traffic requires time and patience. It’s easy to make tweaks to your own site to make it search engine friendly. But SEO is not just about tweaking a site. It’s also about building relevant back links. When sites with similar content link back to you with relevant anchor texts, your site starts to rise in the search rankings.
It’s the link building process that is time consuming. There are many ways you can build back links to your site, and each of these methods require your time and effort. For example, you can try posting blog comments on DoFollow blogs. When your comment is approved by the blog owner, the comment appears at the bottom of the blog post along with your link. A couple of questions arise here.
What are DoFollow links and how do they work? And why are they important to SEO?
You see, Google has always Pandora Charms discouraged link building for the sake of manipulating the search rankings. On a blog, everyone is free to post a comment, since blogs are social in nature. The problem is, more and more webmasters abuse the blog commenting feature. They use it to build links instead of participation. The blog commenting feature is never meant for SEO. It’s meant to encourage active participation from the readers. As this gets from bad to worse, Google announced that they no longer count NoFollow links as relevant back links. To discourage abuse, blogs start to add the “NoFollow” tag to their blog comments. The links are still clickable and active, but Google no longer count that as a relevant back link.
So if you are still interested in using blog commenting as a way to build back links to your site, there are two things you must do.
The first thing is to make sure that you have a list of DoFollow blogs. Visit the blogs and take a look at existing comments. Then view the source code of the blog entry to ensure that the “NoFollow” tag does not exist.
The second thing you need to do is to become an active participant of the Pandora Beads blog. Don’t go to a blog and post nonsensical and off-topic comments, hoping that they will be approved. Your comments will most likely be caught by the spam filters if you do that. Even if the filters missed your spam comments, the owners may delete those comments. Instead, post intelligent comments about the blog post. If you read something about a traffic generation method, then comment on that specific method. For example, let’s say you stumble upon a blog post that is about pay per click advertising. You may write something like, “I have tried PPC advertising but it just didn’t work out well for me. But thanks for the tips.” At the end of your comment, post your name to make it more personalized. The chances of such a comment being approved is much higher.
So does DoFollow blog commenting really work? The answer is yes, but only if you do it right.
