So Why Some Blogs Prefer Nofollow?


There's nothing wrong with getting Nofollow links. While Do follow blogs are obviously getting people's attention, one shouldn't totally ignore Nofollow blogs for few reasons as below:

a) Because it doesn't look natural with Google if every link is from a do follow blog.

b) Paid Links: This is recommended by Google. If you have a paid link on your site, it?s essentially buying a higher rank in Google. You can get punished by google by doing so.

But, how do you encourage people to comment on your blog posts? You reward them by give them an outgoing link to their website when they make a quality comment on your blog. You also allow the search engine to follow that link to their website by using the Dofollow attribute. No doubt there will be spammers who try to take advantage of your generosity. If you have a blog you probably are already getting comment spam, I am sure you do. There are many free spam block plugin like akismet, sparm karma do outstanding job of filtering out spam comments.


If you do comment on others blog take some time to think of thought provoking questions. Do what it takes to grab people?s attention! Lure people to interact and you can lead some to your link. But make sure your comment have a value information or question and be HONEST!


You also should remember that only the first link pointing to a site counts. Posting more than one hyperlink on the same page to the same source won't help in any way. So don?t  put more than 1 hyperlink in your comments.
