Criticizing DoFollow Blogs
Filed Under Do-Follow Info
I follow the dofollow blog movement closely, and I’ve seen a number of blog owners criticize the dofollow blog movement.
There main criticisms are:
1. If you go dofollow on your blog, you are inviting comment spam – it’s just not worth it.
2. If you write good content on your blog, people will comment anyway, so you don’t need to go dofollow. So, you should pay no attention to nofollow vs. dofollow when commenting on blogs.
Now, I’m not going to totally discount those two opinions, there is some truth to both.
But, those blog owners need to understand a few things.
1. As an owner of 4 dofollow blogs, I spend about 5 minutes per day total, moderating comments on those blogs and deleting those comments that don’t add value.
So, the spam comment is really not a valid comment, unless you have a very high traffic blog.
I would guess that very high traffic blogs could have a difficult time moderating hundreds or thousands of comments.
Of course, if you have a very high traffic blog, you don’t need to be dofollow because you already have the visitors.
You will need a spam comment plugin regardless of whether your blog is dofollow, or nofollow – Askimet is a good one and is included with WordPress. SpamKarma is the one that I use.
2. Just because you have great content does not mean I am going to comment on your blog. I, like most people, am a very busy person. I visit a number of blogs during the day and read some good content. I may Stumble your blog, or social bookmark it, but if your blog is nofollow the chances of me taking the time to comment are very slim.
If I am looking at two blogs of equal quality content, and one is dofollow while the other is nofollow, which one do you think I am going to spend my time commenting on?
I have news for you nofollow blog owners with this attitude – your content is not so great, it’s not so much better than many other blogger’s, that I am going to comment strictly based on your content. Perhaps I am being too honest here, but that is reality.
Okay, I have to make a disclaimer here – I may comment on your nofollow blog to explain to you that you are wrong in your opinion of dofollow blogs, but that is the only time I comment on nofollow blogs.
As I stated earlier, I read a number of blogs daily, and many are very good – but I may have not commented on your blog because you are nofollow and I will save my commenting time for a blog that is dofollow.
It’s also interesting to note that most of these nofollow bloggers that criticize dofollow blogs, have very, very few comments on them. Even when their content is very good.
These blog owners are missing out on a very good opportunity to get more comments, and more readers just by going dofollow.
People are actively looking for dofollow blogs. Yes, they are doing that with the intent to post comments and build back links. But, most will read the post they are commenting on, and then leave quality comments.
Are people actively looking for your nofollow blog?
There will always be critics of the dofollow blog movement, and that’s okay – if every blog owner went dofollow, we would lose the advantage we have being dofollow blog owners.
Remember, those people actively looking for your dofollow blog? Help them find you by listing your blog on my DoFollow Blog Directory.

You make some valid points for running a dofollow blog. I agree that simply having great content on your blog does not guarantee comments from your visitors. Some visitors will take the info and run. I’ve been and still am guilty of this. Good read.
I fully agree that there are enough good dofollow blogs around so that commenting (or even reading) on nofollow becomes obsolete. I do not bother either.
Further more, many report as much spam on their nofollow blogs as on their dofollow blogs. So that argument is indeed void.
I don’t comment exclusively on dofollow blogs but I do see that as something coming in the future – there is only so much time in the day and we need to focus.
i am very glad to see that dofollow blog is very helping.
I get interest when i read the other comments.
And there should be many more points for running dofollow blogs.
it does actually look like there are more advantages to having a do follow blog, than disadvantages. and it’s true. i’m more likely to comment on a do follow blog, than a no follow blog, and more likely to visit regularly as well.
I’ve found that by opening up my previously nofollow blogs to do follow, my traffic and comments have tripled.
Commenting on blogs takes time like you said.
And definitely anyone would prefer a dofollow over a nofollow blog.
But my understanding is that as a commentator to a blog, I would like to add something to it.
If this means in addition, to create a link (which is obviously a valid purpose) then so be it.
Commenting intelligently is the proper way to answer in a blog. Again being careful not to spam. Having those spam “arresters” in your blog is of help.
Thanks for bring up your points.

Makes no sense. I see alot of so called do follow blogs that are not do follow. I also see some that do not like do follow blgs but they comment on them. Sounds more like the people who do not like them only want them to get the do follow links and no one else.
Great article, I certainly believe that going a do-follow blog will lure more and more spammers.
I kinda think that the nofollow blogs think that we’re, pardon the expression, white trash.
In my opinion formed by reading various blogs on the subject, we do it simply to GET TRAFFIC and GET COMMENTS. How very crass of us.
I’ve seen quite a few dofollow blogs (not mine I suck) that would put the best of the nofollows to shame and plenty of overly spammed nofollow blogs.
That’s life though. Everyone has to have someone to look down on and we’re just above spammers. Who btw are still human and should not be villified (sp) as they are. They’re just kind of dumb mainly.
Thanks for letting me vent a bit.
I fully agree that there are enough good dofollow blogs around so that commenting (or even reading) on nofollow becomes obsolete.
The claim that do follow blogs are inviting comment spam is not completely true. It is easy to track comments that don’t add value. I can recognize this kind of comments quickly. More than that, there is the spam comment plugin which help protect from Spam.
But I would say that going do follow “for a while” will greatly improve your site stats and get a good page rank, for me for as long as it’s moderated and spammy comments are not allowed it should be a plus for both the commenter and the blog owner itself.
Yeah I agree, if you want traffic make your blog dofollow, however the quality of traffic that visits your site is not that high for sure.
if you want traffic first you will need to make your blog a dofollow and start submitting to a blog directory or in forums and tell them that your blog is do follow. For sure many people will be interested but the quality of traffic you’ll get is not that high.
The dofollow blogs look like more friendly to their commentators. I agree the opinions of this post that I have more interest to leave a comment on dofollow blog.
I agree with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your incoming updates. Just saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the tremendous clarity in your writing. I will at once grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates. Fabulous work and much success in your business efforts!

more over people love to have the do follow blogs as there back links bcoz google gives more importance.
I agree with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your incoming updates.
I found your website from aol and it is brilliant. Thnx for providing such an informative post!!
As a blog commenter, we will comment as if we are professionals. Professional in the sense that people will get from us (brilliant and applicable ideas). We should observe proper rules when it comes to blog commenting.
It’s okay to have a do-follow blog as long as we have to stick to the rules where readers can get insight from it.
Criticisms are everywhere. Just take it or leave it. That’s the trend today. Well, we cannot please other. As a blog commenter, I also used do follow blog.
It doesn’t make sense. Criticisms are always around us so that it will serve as a wake up call for us to weigh things.
Often when you need a high traffic into your blog you should must have two things;
High value content written to your blog, which attract most and most users and compelled them to post a comment.
The second one is, Your blog must have do-follow supported, that attract more and more spammers but increase the value of your blog to sky rocketing.

Excellent and informative blog. Thanks for posting this. It’s informative and enlightening. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been reading many blogs related to this topic. But I feel your blog tops them all. Thanks
It’s a funny thing. You probably will get more comment spam, but people will actually attempt to add value so that you don’t delete their comment. So, even though you know that people are commenting on your blog mainly because it’s dofollow, you’re still benefiting from the added value that many of them bring.
Using dofollow is really a good thing for any blog but yes you will get spammers around in your blog.

To criticize does not necessarily imply to find fault, but the word is often taken to mean the simple expression of an objection against prejudice, or a disapproval. I think it is just normal to us to criticize others.
Do follow blogs are the ones that can optimize SEO. I think there are blog formats that don’t allow this type of mechanism
