Random Blog: NoFollow-Free

Written by Hussein on March 14, 2008 – 7:01 pm -


From now on, this blog is now free of no-follow links. This is to help my readers benefit also in my blog. Most blogs do not support the do-follow. Once you put a comment in their blog, your link as an author of the comment is a no-follow link.

What’s the difference with nofollow and dofollow? When a link is nofollow the link means nothing. It is just a like a text with hyperlink that search engine can’t read. If your link is nofollow, you gain nothing except if someone clicks it. It is not counted as a valid backlink for the pagerank point. When a link is do-follow, it’s good. That link count as a valid backlink which makes as a vote for pagerank.

How to know if a link is nofollow or dofollow? I don’t know other technique on how to know whether a links is dofollow or nofollow. All I know is I’m using SEO for Firefox plugin — a multi-purpose plugin. When the plugin is enable, it links that are nofollow in a certain page is highlited with red. When a link is not highlighted, it is obviously dofollow. With SEO for Firefox plugin, you can also check the basic stats/ranks of a certain domain.

What are the do-follow and nofollow links in this blog? Every link on my blog is now do-follow. In comments, your name’s url will automatically be do-follow if you have at least 3 comments in my blog. That means that if you have less than 3 comments in my blog your link is still nofollow.

Why this blog is nofollow-free? I believe that if commentators get something in return (like a dofollow backlink) will be initiate to comment more (..and I hope so). Giving some gift to readers is a nice doing. How about you? Will you comment on a blog that you don’t get something in return? Of course not (..sometimes).

This nofollow-free blog is supported by nofollow-free plugin.

    hey that means it is a do-follow blog from now ?? Right ??

  2. niessuh Says:

    onlineearns, yes, that’s to give credits to my commentators. I also have a top comment plugin so that the user that has the most comments will be credited in my sidebar. That’s a backlink!

    OMG, you are marked as spam by akismet, I have just despam this a while ago.

  3. Chetan Says:

    Well this decision would also affect you in future like it did for me. I lost my SERP rankings as it just produced high number of outbounds and google don’t like it.

  4. niessuh Says:

    Oh really? I really don’t know about outbound links. I don’t want it to happen. Maybe I’ll return my blog to nofollow and just put top commentators in my widget to still give credit to my commentators.

    That’s what am doing in my blog too :)
