Yes, I too tend to add dofollow/comluv blogs to my RSS reader and tend to them first. Going over to read your keywordluv post – I admit I’m a bit shy of that one. I have a problem with anything that looks like SEO, and not as a service to the visitor.

I popped in because you commented in the recent post over at DennisEdell’s. I’m surprised we haven’t “met” before. I wanted to share my recent KeywordLuv post with you because I believe that is where the DoFollow community will be going.

Just as ExtremeJohn has chosen to prioritize his time around dofollow blogs only, some of us give the majority of our time and efforts to those in the DoFollow CommentLuv KeywordLuv community.

The post I’ll feature in CommentLuv explains why, what it is, how to use it, how it benefits us and where to get it.

i am very glad this blog is do-follow , even i support do-follow blog movement and have all blogs do-followed
still i just cant understand why no-follow lovers hate to give a lil bit of link juice , if they are still terrified of spam comments then there are surely great plugins like akismet and they can surely moderate comments
Cheerz for being do-follow

See, IMO, if you don’t want to give a link to someone, just don’t link to them. If they’re bad, why send them any traffic? I have had on many occasions written about hate sites and I just never ever linked to them. At the very most, I mentioned their domain name and sometimes I didn’t even do that.
If I think they suck and I don’t mind sending them traffic, let’s say if I need my visitors to actually access that website, see something there etc., I will link with a regular link. Up to Google to fine-tune their algo and be able to tell which link is a vote of confidence and which isn’t.

The nofollow tag can be useful in certain contexts and is sometimes necessary – for example, news organizations may need to cover a story on a less than positive note and a related link would be helpful for their visitors, but the original site does not want to be seen as giving an editorial vote of confidence to the site being linked, hence the nofollow tag would clarify to search engines that a site is being linked to for informational purposes only and not as a thumbs up.

The best approach, and this applies to many things in life, is to take a balanced and moderate path and avoiding the extremes.

I agree with your point on do-follow links on blogs but to be completely honest it makes bloggers job a lot harder when moderating comments and also even if you do think a comment is relevant and the commenter is sincere what if the link back to the website that he/she is linking to is a bad neighborhood, now you have a link back to a bad neighborhood from your blog.

Bottom line is that this is a debate that will rage on forever. There are valid points on both sides of the fence and neither side is ever gonna budge

I totally agree with this point
“If you think the link is valid, legitimate and useful to your visitors, there is no reason in the world to hide it from the search engines. ”

Well great post about this controversial topic.

Not sure why Askimet decided you were a spammer? Just unspammed all of your comments. Sorry about that!

The only problem is you could be missing out on some good stuff and interesting discussions. Yes, I prefer to comment on dofollow blogs, but no, it’s not my only criteria.
