Dofollow Blog List - How to Find DoFollow Blogs
- 4 Comment
As we have covered in previous articles, building relevant links to your website is a vital component of SEO. If we think about how Google works, we would understand that Google wants to rank highly those sites which are the most relevant for a chosen search term. It follows then that by obtaining links from similar sites, our ranking for such search terms should increase.
One of the most effective ways to build free, one-way links to your website is by commenting on related blogs. Not only does this help with our SEO efforts, but by commenting in the right way, it can help build our reputation and drive traffic to our site if we are seen as being a credible source on a topic. We will cover how to comment effectively in a future article, but for now lets find out exactly what a dofollow blog is.
What is a Dofollow blog?
Search Engines find websites via their spiders, which crawl websites by following links. Logically therefore, the more links there are to your website the more frequently the spiders will find them. This will result both in your pages being indexed more regularly, as well as your site being ranked higher as the search engines begin to trust you more if other sites are linking to you.
It is important to note that the links must come from quality, relevant sites. If your links are coming from spam or untrusted sites, the search engines will lower the quality score of your website. Focus on getting quality links from related sites. One good link is worth much more than 100 spam ones.
Website owners can control the movement of the spiders though by using “nofollow” tags on certain pages, which block the spiders from following links. Most blogs will use this method to stop the spiders leaving their site and passing PageRank to external sites. For that reason, the only benefit to commenting on most blogs will be to drive traffic - you will not get any SEO benefits.
However, there are a number of dofollow blogs which will bring you SEO benefits. Although these blogs are difficult to find, they do exist. There are many reasons why a blog would be set to dofollow - perhaps the owner sees it as a way to drive traffic and encourage interactivity in their comments and forum section, thus building the blog in a way which would be difficult to do if it was set to nofollow.

Tips for Commenting
We will soon be providing a more indepth article for commenting on blogs, but for now, here are a few basic tips that you should use.
- Don’t spam. While it is tempting to comment on every single post, this will look unnatural to both the blog owner and the search engines. Spread your comments out, perhaps comment on one post from every site each day.
- Subscribe to the RSS feeds so you have a stream of new posts coming through for you to comment on. Being the first to comment makes your comment stand out and can drive traffic.
- Add to the conversation. Posting a useful comment on the blog can catch other readers attention. They may feel you have helpful information to share and check out your site. This would drive actual traffic as well as having an SEO benefit.
- Focus only on relevant, quality links. Spam links or unrelated sites are almost worthless so don’t waste your time with these.

My blog is DoFollow, but for now I’m moderating comments so I can detect when someone is just grabbing a purposeless link. I think offering a do follow blog helps because relevant links, especially with good anchor text, helps a pages relevancy. I do tag them as rel=external, which just tells search engines it’s an external link but go ahead and follow.

Thank you for this great post. I wasn’t aware of ‘do follow’ blogs. I also like that you stress that people should not spam. I’m going to try this method and see if it makes any difference for my blog.

IMO, even the blogs have a tag of “nofollow”, we can still benefit from commenting on their blogs.
