New DoFollow Blog Comment Strategy
Filed Under Do-Follow Info
If you are thinking about commenting on this dofollow blog, I welcome and value your comments.
You do need to know that I monitor the comments closely, and I do delete comments that are not related to the post topic.
The reason I have to monitor comments closely, is there will always be people who try to cheat the system.
By reading comments posted to this blog, I recently discovered a new dofollow blog comment strategy. If you have a dofollow blog, you need to know about this new strategy. If you comment on dofollow blogs, I will have some advice for you.
I noticed an interesting comment on this blog. The comment stated “Is generating dofollow blog backlink traffic really worth the time and effort that it takes to make quality comments on dofollow blogs? Does it really work? I am a strong advocate of dofollow blogs, which is why I blog about it, and I can tell you that my experience tells me that it does work.”
I thought, that sure sounds familiar. Of course it was familiar, it was the first paragraph of a post I made on this very blog a few days ago – see Dofollow Blog Backlink Traffic.
This comment was not left on the above post, it was left as a comment on a different blog post.
So, it appears someone is extracting the first paragraph of a post, then posting that as a comment on a different post of the same blog, to get a backlink that looks like a valid comment.
I am guessing this is an automated, or semi-automated process that was designed to post a lot of comments in a short period of time. This is a very clever strategy, and would have gone unnoticed if I didn’t actually read my blog comments.
But, I did catch it and this person will not get a backlink from me because I consider this – blog comment spam. This time I just deleted the comment, if I see it again from the same person, I will flag it as spam. If I start seeing it used more often by different people, I will flag them all as spam.
If your blog is a dofollow blog, you really need to watch your comments closely and not let people take advantage of you giving them a backlink. Don’t reward people who are trying to cheat the system.
If you comment on dofollow blogs and are tempted to try something similar, don’t do it. Sooner or later you will be discovered, and your blog comments will be flagged as spam. Then your blog comments will disappear, and you will only have yourself to blame.

Wow! Got to say that is an A for being creative, and F for etiquette! Thanks for letting us know, don’t know that I would have caught that, I’ll have to pay better attention to commenting.
Hi Mike,
I’m dofollow, and use the keywordluv plugin, but like you, I’m still relatively quick to delete and/or spam any comments that just don’t quite smell right.
Some people think so short term. If you find a good blog that actually care enough to give you a followed link on your comments, why would you want to risk having your search be a waste of time by leaving a spammy comment?
Makes no sense.
Todd
Does anyone know of any websites with a high Google PageRank (maybe PageRank 6+) that would link to my website to boost my own PageRank? (its currently PR2)Any advice on increasing my PageRank?
I also am huge on dofollows. I always try to leave a relevant comment on dofollow blogs because the backlinks are very valuable.
i like do follow blogs but i am not taking too much advantage on em. i comment is enough for only 1 to 2 articles. thanks
I’m only going to start my own blog. But I want it to be of high quality. Thats why I’ve read your post with great interest and I’m going to follow your pieces of advice.
That is pretty clever, i agree that it should not be tolerated but its not a terrible idea. nice post, its interesting to see how the dofollow revolution is shaping up and what obstacles are arising from it.
listen……..i am just facing this problem like anything……..let us build a directory!!! a real and worthy directory that will list from all domains.
Wow I am back again and I must say you are making very good of this strategy. Last time I was on your blog, I was looking for do follow blogs again. and now also I am looking for it, your site is on top.
Can you share some insight on how you do it. Is it just the do-follow comments?? I wonder.
Well I have a site at http://www.diabetic-diets.info and I am looking to get on top for foods for a diabetic to eat any suggestions ??
you’re right,
there is too many abuse…
Hahaa…
Good one,
these types of alerts will take care of the thing that Do Follow blogs get Quality Comments.
Does anyone know of any websites with a high Google PageRank (maybe PageRank 6+) that would link to my website to boost my own PageRank? (its currently PR2)
Any advice on increasing my PageRank?
Nice post anyways!!
those are some great ideas, i wish people were more honest with things, if we all played by the rules then we can all prosper.
It’s amazing what people will try to cheat people who are giving them free backlinks.
It’s a good thing you read your blog comments and are able to spot these sorts of things. I hope dofollow bloggers take your advice and monitor their blog comments.
Our blog with health articles is no-follow, but they still spam. They post some copied content, like “Interesting blog. Are you blogging for long time…”
Jan
Thanks for the advice on commenting dofollow blogs, I leave comments on dofollow blogs but it is always a real comment not a spam I usually moderate my comments too even though I manage a nofollow blog but still people leave spam comments like leaving an advertisment on the comment and leaving a link to their site I usually reject it.
Everybody has been complaining for years about google, and backlinks to get good serps.
But lets face it, It is here, and dosn’t look like it will change anytime soon. That being said.. it offers webmasters and bloggers a unique oppurtunity to not only co-exist, but to cooperate. sites need back links,an commenting on blogs are a good way to get them. But any webmaster looking for backlinks that dosn’t take the time to offer the blog owner a good well thought out comment. deserves to not only be deprived of a backlink. but should be punished. because in the end, he is contributing to the down fall of a system that is beneficial to both parties. I have seen many great blogs that i commented on frequently, change to “no follow” because they got tired of dealing with the spammy comments. I’m a very busy webmaster with multiple sites. And I’ll be the first to admit, If i didn’t need back links, i wouldn’t visit blogs at all. I just don’t have the time for recreational reading. But since i do need to, I know I should atleast offer something in return. And if i have to spend 5 minutes, writing something that will in someway contribute to the blog, in exchange for a backlink, that will help my site grow, well than that is time well spent ! to webmasters who use blogs for backlinks.. just remember the blogger works just as hard as you on his site, and deserves the same respect you expect.
ps, don’t you just love the post above mine, name: “search engine opt service”… looking for advice on how to boost his pr, on a blog about irrelivent blog comments, JUST ABOUT SUMS UP THIS ENTIRE THREAD ! lmao
This is a very good strategy but i was already doing so many comments on do follow blogs but still i can’t fell the strong traffic from do follow blogs or just maybe my blogs is not that good..:(
Well using bots and stuff like that for generating backlinks is kinda pointless. I mean there’s not enough worthy dofollow blogs to let yourself get banned from most of them by posting worhtless comments that’ll stay on the site for <24 hours.
If you ever look at the freelance sites there are tons of job opportunities for commentors. Hiring out for this will only get your site marked as a spam site. It really does not take me long to go out every few days and generate some links reading and commenting on interesting blogs for a link back to my site.
Hi Mike,
Lately I’ve seen a new type of spam comments appearing on my blog. It starts with a bolded search phrase on a single line followed by the comment. Sometimes it seems relevant to the topic sometimes not. So do keep a lookout for bolded text comments. People are getting smarter in spam comments. Like you said, if you’re not alert, you may end up approving some of them.
Peter Lee
How hard is it read a post real quick and then write a comment on it real quick. If you want the link it seems to me that this minimal effort is worth it.
A very nice blog.Thanks for sharing the information with us.so keep sharing!!!
A very nice blog.Thanks for sharing the information with us.so keep sharing!!! pls
nice post, you really need to stay alert these days, there are so many people that want to find shortcuts, and even though you have a dofollow blog you shouldn’t have to put up with garbage comments.
yah right.. but i guess in other side of story it could help your site also… nice info.. thanks for sharing..
Spam comes to all blogs. We have been a “No-follow” blog for the last year we are now under redesign and are changing to “Do-follow” to encourage more visitors to comment. For 10 real comments we get 100’s of spam comments. We will continue to moderate and use CommentLuv,Kwywordluv and Top Commenter and hope to benefit from these changes.
I have not seen the stealing of partial article post to use as comment spam yet. Wow! I guess some people are really getting sneaky.
I would have never thought of watching for my own words as spam. That would really make me mad!
Spam is spreading int the cyberspace. I have a question for awhile. How could you determine and evaluate comments if that is a spam or not?
This information is certainly very useful. Even for my new blog, most of the comments I received are complete spams and not relevant to the topic. Even blog owners should watch out, that the comments received is not from any banned websites.
I have started building a list of Do Follow blog and I stumbled into your site. Thanks for this informative post.
It’s actually not so hard to moderate your site from spam comments(unless you have a really big site).
The method this spammer was using on your site was definitely sneaky, but a cool one. Another type of comments I have seen on my blogs are copy of comments I approved a couple of days ago on the same / different post.
The guy is clever and knows that I think a blog comment is good and have approved it earlier, so there is a good chance I will approve it again after a couple of days
I like your post, and wish that people would not do this. I have many blogs that i like to follow and read, yours is a new one I came across, at the same time I like to leave a link so that I can get my website higher on the search engine. Because of these spammers many blogs will not do follow anymore because people don’t take the time to read and think about what is being said. I hope that by doing this you will be able to help get the spams out of here.
Thank you for your post. I am a stay at home mom who reads posts that I follow a few blogs, something I like to do, I do use a companies name for there website and in return get a few dollars. The thing is the with the spams my job is getting harder and harder and I think soon I will not be able to do it. Thank you for keeping your blog a do follow blog so we can read it.
I am a big fan of do-follow blogs, but I have also been reading a lot of sites mentioning that no-follow is starting to be ignored. Whether or not that is true, it doesn’t hurt to make comments on no-follow blogs too.
Do you have any thoughts on the no-follow commenting idea? Is there any value to it?
I have been aggresively pursuing the do follow philosophy. As of yet I have not seen much of a return on my time investment. As I am new at this I assume that I am doing something wrong, any suggestions.
Hi, this is my first visit to your site. I too have noticed that some readers copy and use other peoples comments in the same blog post and get away with it. Yes its up to the blog owner to spot it and I hope that when they do, they also follow your steps and delete all their comments.
Answer to Robert, I too have been commenting on do-follow websites for nearly a month now. I have built up over 1500 backlink in yahoo but only 4 backlinks in Google. I’m not sure why but I know it won’t be an overnight thing, it does take abit of time.
Robert,
There may be a few reasons you are not seeing a return on your time investment.
1. Make sure you are using keywords you want to target in the comment title. First look at some comments on the blog to make sure the blog owner allows keywords. Some only approve names.
2. If you are targeting keywords that are too competitive, you are fighting a loosing battle.
3. Make sure you leave quality comments so your comments are approved.
4. Don’t just comment on the same blogs. Spread your comments out to multiple blogs.
Sally,
From what I understand, Yahoo is a better gauge of actual backlinks, because Google does not want to give too much backlink info away.
Mike
Well there’ll always be people trying to workaround the system. Using copy/paste from the author’s own site seems like a huge timesaver – if the guy can send out 100 messages like that in the time it’d take him to post 5 normal comments I think he’ll get the same or even better results.
Hi Mike,
After reading a few of your blogs, I decided that dofollow is the way to go for my website. I submitted http://www.arizonarealestatehome.com under real estate, but it has not shown. Is there anything else I need to do? Do you need to verify or something?
Thanks,
Steve
“Guns doesn’t kill people. People kill another people” It means that we can’t blame any tools for doing such bad jobs. It depends on the beholder.
Just like your DoFollow comments. That’s why I put my words here. Nice post.
Cheers…
Your strategy for commenting a blog sounds great! I will follow it very carefully especially when my blog gets more attention in the near future. Thanks!
Steve from tempe real estate,
I fixed it for you and it’s now showing up. You didn’t generate a short url code and so it didn’t display in the listings. I thought the program forced you to create a short url, I’ll have to look into that.
Thanks,
Mike
Have you gotten hundreds of spams from porn and gambling sites yet? I’m sure it is a headache to monitor all of them. Deleting is painful too because you have real comments slapped in between the spams. Let me know how DoFollow policy is working out for you.
I have noticed that certain social bookmarking sites I had submitted to also try this method. I don’t understand how a reciprocal link can be much better if it is off the sites primary topic, but whatever.
I guess you leave quality comments.I saw many blogs that i like to read your blog,because your comments are approved.
I do like do follow blogs, you can learn more and even read some interesting things while helping out a business.
I want to search for more dofollow blogs. please tell me the tricks for searching for large amount of dofollow blogs very quickly… report the trickes please… as soon as possible…
It’s really a very nice article, every SEO should read this blog and try to implement that they will not spam the do follow blogs.It’s better read the blog and post comment according to blog.
Your are Great. And so is your site! Awesome content. Good job guys! Interesting article, adding it to my favourites!
Hi Mike,
I’m dofollow, and use the keywordluv plugin, but like you, I’m still relatively quick to delete and/or spam any comments that just don’t quite smell right.
Some people think so short term. If you find a good blog that actually care enough to give you a followed link on your comments, why would you want to risk having your search be a waste of time by leaving a spammy comment?
Makes no sense.
This strategy is basically a brain dump of thoughts I’m having about how to use “do follow” and comments to best serve your blog over time. I’m thinking that different strategies will suit blogs depending where along the blog lifecycle
This was very interesting read and very useful strategy to everyone. I agree, as a new blogger the reason that I am posting comments is to ask questions and learn more about certain things, I have seen how people do come in and leave one or two word comments like the thanks but don’t really comment on what the post is all about.
Very good article. I think that the best way to get good backlink is from big blogs like political blogs or university blogs.
That is actually very clever, to be honest, when i first read that comment in the post, i thought he was trying to stuff keywords into his comment, like lots of ‘dofollows’, anyway thanks
http://thewayoftheweb.net/2008/09/my-dog-ate-my-blog-post/comment-page-1/
I just start my own blog. To improve its quality I am going to follow your advices, it was really very useful for. Thank you far sharing,
I have read tons of writings about do-follow blog commenting and wonder when Google starts to treat their links like spam. They are not spam but not either natural links.
The higher the pagerank, the more spam and irrelevant comments you get on a dofollow blog.
Beside comments moderation, another way to handel this is to use a ‘do-follow’ plugin removes the ‘nofollow’ tag from comment after the commenter leave ‘x’ number of comments.
I do so over my blog to be sure that only respecable commentators have backlink from me!
Posting, or rather ‘pasting’ from your blog into the comments eh?
Commenting adds value to a site in my opinion, but I agree it should be moderated to block the spambots and idiots.
An post must verified by the owner and ofcourse link must be do follow.
Thanks for the heads up. I would agree it’s hard to find high ranking PR’s blogs with do follow attribute. Name used as keyword are most likely to get denied and marked as a spam. Thanks for the advice.
After working in the computer industry for decades, I’m used to the most seemingly benign topic exploding into a passionate – and sometimes even vitriolic – debate, from which editor you use to what operating system, programming language to which HTML mark-up standard you work towards.
Thanks! really excellent informative content , it will increase my knowledge regarding Do – Follow links.actually i dont know anything about how to increase backlinks?but after reading your content ,i am so much happy.
I have no problem with SEO blog commenting, as long as the name is not abused with keyword stuffing.
I’m still trying to figure out if DoFollow blog commenting works or not. Rather than concentrating on a whole niche website I am targeting a specific article and seeing how commenting on DoFollow blogs will affect its SERP ranking. I should know in a week or two if the backlinks are having any positive effect.
Most bloggers rarely pay attention to blog comments because they are just part of the blogs that are there all the time. For them, comments are just features. Others hate comments witha passion because of the amount of blog comment spam they receive on a regular basis.

I’m dofollow, and use the keywordluv plugin, but like you, I’m still relatively quick to delete and/or spam any comments that just don’t quite smell right.
I am a dofollow newbie / convert. I started my own blog a month ago to promote my new business, so far so good. Then I was told by a SEO friend of mine about follow / nofollow. I had been busy posting comments all over the web, for no effect it seems. I’ve now made my own blog dofollow and I want to know if it matters where I post my blog comments. So far I’ve restricted myself to Architecture and Design blogs. Does it matter?
I think that taking the time to read a post and commenting pertinently is scarce, beautiful, yet priceless.
The DOFOLLOW thang is a great strategy in itself because it advocates all that blogging is about: social networking. I recently started a few blogs and I made them all DOFOLLOW anyway. You see it is not important for me if they ever become popular but I find the fact that anyone can get a backlink from me a pretty awesome gesture. Popular blogging that will one day generate income requires the help of many friendly hands and nofollow is plain selfish to me.
I know there are a lot of strategies out there for using links back to blogs, but this automated one is a new one to me. This is a good find. How did you catch this exactly? I will keep my eyes open for that.
that’s why i do follow the comments and approved or disapproved manually.
I don’t think anyone actually does this.
That is such a silly strategy. Eventually, those people will be discovered and, as you said, can comment no more.
After switching my blog to Dofollow, i noticed that my comments dropped significantly.
Not sure if there anything wrong with it, any advice?
What exactly happens when a comment gets flagged as spam? Is that just for that blog, or is it reported somewhere else too? Thanks for answering!
i just joined the movement and i hope good luck for all bloggers
i want to join to the movement but i am really afraid of spam
I think its pretty funny that someone would rather spend the energy to scrape your own text and feed it back as a comment – I guess automation will always bring out the best (or worst?)!
Going do follow requires more word other than posting good content. Do follow tags in blog increase traffic really but base on my observation half of this traffic are from spammers. Before I don’t have a hard time looking at comments but now with “DoFollow” I been reading comments that I think are spam for 2 hrs.
Looks good. I have added your dofollow search engine to my list of dofollow blog directories at http://www.web-directories.ws. I am encouraged by the dofollow blog movement.
Interesting post. Felt good reading your post. My brother and I have been using John Beck’s program quite a while. We even have our own separate blogs on our small business. We’ll be waiting for updates.
I too agree with this strategy….because proper commenting on a blog which is relevant to the topic will really help one’s site or a blog to get some link juice….i.e. backlinks.
So, we have to do proper commenting…and relevant to avoid spam…
This is definitely something to watch out for. I have a dofollow comments on my blog and I have to monitor them closely
Hi! I like your blog post. I saw many Jeff Paul’s success stories on Internet. Then I decided to join Jeff Paul program. Let’s see if I’ll be able to handle it.
i too have a do follow blog and hope everyone know the troble associate with coment spamming
The do follow blogs are offering something valuable. One link for one quality comment. This is extremely helpful for increasing page rank and readers to your blog,forums or sites.
You find right thing that it’s a automatic or semiautomatic comment posting. Sounds like a good analytic techie.
That’s sad, but I think the person who did this would have made a legit comment in a shorter period of time if he took time to read the post and leave a real comment. Anyway thanks for the warning.
It annoys me that people leave completely unrelated comments when the majority take the time to comment relevantly.
It ruins the image for the rest of us.
I agree it does sound like some program that post comments all over the place. They must use software that reads post saves part of it and then uses it on that blog for all comments. Thier is no reason for it you should read post just to see if it is related to sites topic and if it really is a do follow blog.
I never understand why people can’t just read an article and comment. It’s really not very hard or time consuming. I get the feeling that these people are from SEO firms that base out of India and really don’t give a damn about their client’s reputation. I have a nofollow blog and even I get spam comments. They’re just relentless and reckless.
Hi, you know what, I think that guy is kinda clever but I can’t help to think what would happen if he used his powers for good instead of spam a.k.a evil. It must have taken a bit of time to write that script and that time could have been spent writing legit comments that create links that last. Isn’t that what we all want?
.
nice article – a great way to show repsect to your readers and to encourage a bit of debate…sometimes people need a bit of a push/incentive to do so! I’m sure you’ll have seen traffic increase significantly though as a result, at least I hope so!
That a new strategy to me, perhaps they are using software to blast a load of blog comments out, or just plain lazy! Either way it doesn’t take long to read a post and add a bit of more quality content to the web. Im totally against spamming.
Thanks for this piece of advice.I am someone who generally comment on do follow blogs but after reading this post i will extra careful from next time.
I welcome your hardwork in checking the blog comments. You are definitely doing a great job. I got a question for you, Does the dofollow blog comments from non-related categories got any advantage in search engine listing?
This is a very good strategy and very reasonable. People who used to leave a comment on a blog should be aware on it and at least give a related comment to the topic. Thanks for giving us this advise.
Great article.. Just wondering is this blog dofollow? And also how long does it take for Google to see backlinks?
Hey this is really helpful article. I have heard and read do-follow several times but had never know what exactly is it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Always add quality content to the conversation. People, the search engines and just about all of us want something contributed to a conversation and not just a rubbish post. By doing this you add value to everything, the site, the people reading it and the search engines who want quality content to index for their browsers.
This is definitely something to watch out for. I have a do follow comments on my blog and I have to monitor them closely The do follow blogs are offering something valuable. One link for one quality comment.It’s really not very hard or time consuming. I get the feeling that these people are from SEO firms that base out of India and really don’t give a damn about their client’s reputation…I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article
I do agree that many people are abusing “do follow” blogs like this, but, there are also people who are sincere in making sensible comments out of their interest on the article. The challenge for blog owners is to determine who are the valid ones and who are not. We’ll for me, I stayed on the default of “no follow’. But I’m considering changing my blog to “do follow” one. In order to make this decision, I have to study about it first. Thanks for your article about this…It really catch up my interest in converting to a “do follow” blog.
After switching my blog to Dofollow, i noticed that my comments dropped significantly.You find right thing that it’s a automatic or semiautomatic comment posting. Sounds like a good analytic techie.dogfence.
Thanks for sharing this with us. I have one question for you. How did you make your blog a do follow blog? I have a cheese blog on blogger and I would like to make it a do follow blog. I am not sure how to do this and would appreciate your input.
The amounts of spammy comment I’ve received has outnumbered the good ones. I manually delete all comments that have nothing to do with the topic. I like to give links, but if someone doesn’t even try, why should I enable.
Hey. I am quite new to all this. I understand the do follow and no follow – but I am confused about what is considered spam and what is actually a valid comment. I believe at the end of the day most people just want to promote their sites.
Hi,
Your observation was really very interesting and very informative. Thanks for the information. I learned a lot.I enjoyed reading it.
Put it on your email signature, if you have StumbleUpon you could give it a thumbs up and then other people will stumbleUpon it. You could attach it to everything you do. On yahoo 360 put it on top of your page so people can click on the link.
I found your post about “dofollow” links on twitter. I did a search on dofollow and your tweet was there. I have converted by blog to a dofollow but have not had much success. It may be because I use blogspot and I have only been able to make the name field dofollow. I hope you continue with your keywordluv and let us know how it works out. I would like to add you to my Hoss’s best bets so if you let me know what wording you prefer and I will add you.
Incredibly brilliant strategy I must say. A lot of Bloggers tend to forget their old posts so this could be effective for spammers.
I have never heard of this strategy ever before! What a great idea! That sentence actually seems to be commented manually. Thanks for sharing this valuable information. Even I hate those spammer’s.
Google’s new stance on nofollow makes everything such a hassle.
If your blog is a dofollow blog, you really need to watch your comments closely and not let people take advantage of you giving them a backlink. Don’t reward people who are trying to cheat the system.
This strategy is basically a brain dump of thoughts I’m having about how to use “do follow” and comments to best serve your blog.
“I am guessing this is an automated, or semi-automated process that was designed to post a lot of comments in a short period of time”
Wow. I never knew this is possible. Now, I have to go check whether any of the comments on my blog site are suspiciously automated.
“It appears someone is extracting the first paragraph of a post, then posting that as a comment on a different post of the same blog, to get a backlink that looks like a valid comment.”
Pity how the blogging bustle has suddenly evolved into false blogging. The culprit — commercialism — turns blogging activities into a repugnant scheme, where your own words would be posted as a comment by another individual.
I do like do follow blogs,you can learn more and even read some interesting things while helping out a business.
Wow. I never knew this is possible. Now, I have to go check whether any of the comments on my blog site are suspiciously automated.
It may be because I use blogspot and I have only been able to make the name field dofollow. I hope you continue with your keywordluv and let us know how it works out.
You’re right. Reading and evaluating a comment personally is an effective strategy. But like the question posted in this entry, is it worth the effort? Why not abort your do-follow feature? In this way, you would not have any problem at all.
Do follow blogs are good. Its great to use these blogs. Your article contains informative material about it. Do follow blog is the best way to promote your site by adding links.
I have seen another automated system (I think it is at least) that takes snippets from other comments and pieces them together. One good sentence from the first comment, another from the next, and so on. Whenever you feel deja vu when moderating comments, you have been hit by one of these “comment rippers” as I’d like to call them.

Hi Mike,
I have a question for you: how do you keep your page rank from going to zero with all of these follow links draining PR away from you. I have several blogs also, and I am interested in supporting the dofollow movement, but I am a little concerned how to fill the page rank back up!
Looking forward to your reply.
I think its pretty funny that someone would rather spend the energy to scrape your own text.
proper time is required to comment then quality will improve and traffic is going to come from it.
The only problem is you have software out there that lists the dofolow blogs and allows businesses to promote their sites for SEO reasons rather than actually having an interest in the blog (like me, kind of). G-Lock BlogFinder is how I came across this blog
Just a couple of days ago I made my Blogger blog a DoFollow blog. I am hoping to rev up the commenting. Looks like it is working for you? It may not help, but it can’t hurt unless monitoring the comments becomes too time consuing.
I found your blog today by searching “blogs that are dofollow” on Big G.

Changing Blogger to DoFollow takes some time to locate the CSS. Let me know if you need help.

Wow. I never knew this is possible. Now, I have to go check whether any of the comments on my blog site are suspiciously automated.
It seems nice to see one more in the do follow movement, I don’t understand why all of them still stick to the no follow as there is no reason to do so only to stop spam which can be done by many other means. Do follow not only spreads a link juice but also encourages the commentator to comment on the blog.
Wow, this is impressive. I don’t think that can be done with a bot. But I guess it can be a clever guy with not enough time on his hands to read articles.
Hey,
This was a lovely post that I ever read on Do-follow commenting. I thank you for your valuable suggestion. I have taken note of what you had to say. This is really nice.
So you think i need make my blog with dofollow?
is it somehow bad for me? for my website? that there would be hundreds of link going out?
Hmm, I think that is quite a clever automated system as far as they go, I’m going to have to check all of my blogs for this now. I don’t really pay that much attention to my blog comments unless they look spammy, I just scan quickly. A clever way to tweak whatever software there using for the comments would be if they could spin the content that was lifted. Not that it’s a great idea to give these blackhat SEOs any more ideas. And I’m sure somebody somewhere’s already working on it.
I just started a new blog and made it dofollow, but I’m a little worried about the spam. I’ve already been hit with a bunch of garbage and I imagine it will only get worse.
Thanks for sharing this interesting trick, I did not think of it. But why so many people are commenting on others blog with tons of links? I think Google does count them, even nofollow, that’s why spammy comments are flooded. And they wont disappear until the big G REALLY ignore them.
Regards
You are right to monitors the comments. Spammers use it to post whatever they wnat on comments. I think its better to put commenting on blog as do follow for valuable comments and not spam comments.
Yeah dofollow blogs should have higher standards for commenting content. I get those on my other blog “good job I was very informed” and just nuke em. If it’s a general compliment, it usually (not always) means they didn’t read the post and just make a beeline for a free link.
I just can’t help thinking they’re sitting there with notepad open with 90 copied fortune cookie phrases to paste into a comment box
Hey… Thanks for sharing this Information…
Could you pls suggest where i can find a do follow theme based blogs…
There are some spammers out there who doesn’t care about the comment but to get a backlink.
But it really worth giving a good comment in a do follow blog. It makes your backlink more permanent.
Ive seen this happening quite alot to be honest, im glad some one else wrote about this , i was then going to do a blog about it which is how i stumbled on this page when seeing if anyone else had done so .
Good post and nice blog , i will subscribe and comment when i can
That is a fairly clever trick. I saw pretty much the same thing earlier today but not clever in the least. The post was one paragraph and they just copied the entire thing and posted it as a comment.
Thanks for opening up comments on your blog. You must carve out a quiet a bit of time during the day to monitor your blog comments.
But the end result is a well ‘manicured’ blog.
To Your Success.
Hi, well i am doing dofollow blog commenting, but always try to focus on the post and always try to post related and authentic material.
Any ways the thing that you are mentioning above, that the guy post the first paragraph of post as a comment in an other post, its really a clever idea.
people do all these type of submissions because its really hard to get a Do follow comment. can you let us know any ways to get more dofollow comments.
Do follow blogs comments work or not is difficult to say, but as you said that it works if it is clean strategy. I keep reading users perception as they are real doers. I also have do follow blog and I received 3 comments same from same bloggers thrice, so its is really good that those who deserve should be paid, here I mean those you genuinely write comment are in long run gifted with a back link. Good for sharing a deeping insight on blog comments.
Thats a great spot – I am in the process of setting up a blog for my own website and will keep an eye out for this, are there any anti-spam plugins for Wordpress that will help here or is akismet good enough?
do-follow blog commenting represents one of the most effective off-page optimization methods to boost SERP positioning over a short timeframe.
Everyone wants to shortcut the system. Sure it takes longer to actually read articles and post relevant comments, but you also get more quality back links. I’m finding, however, that even when you post handwritten comments, if you’re linking back to a site that’s not a personal blog, that it almost always gets deleted. How are you supposed to overcome this? Are people not allowed to comment on things if they’re promoting their own sites? Why even bother having a field for URL?
I must say that it is a good strategy.
I appreciate your blog and it is very
informative also. Thanks for this great
strategy.
Yes, I am very much appreciate with all the strategies and tricks of your do follow blog.I also having do follow blog and saw that so many spammer are misusing this for getting a back link.I will also being careful for this.Any way thanks for sharing the informative post.
Hello;
Is there any reason not to enable dofollow, as long as you aggressively deal with spam?
I just enabled dofollow on my blog, and I started searching to see if there was any reason I should not have done so. Your article was one of the first results.
Thanks for your information. I will continue to moderate my comments, and hope that I did not make a poor choice in enabling dofollow comments on my blog.
Thanks

Way to go! I try to do some research too to find out which comments are genuine. I get a kick out of the fact that you can only make an automated comment sound real so a certain extent. I lot of the automated one I get say something like. “Nice post, but I had trouble trying to view it in my browser”. Others were knock knock jokes, and even worse… some straight up links. I’ve been irritated enough by others to provide genuine comments that I really mean. This is a great post. Thanks!
Hi Mike
I have read your blog post attentively. Thanks for giving us the tips to save our do follow blog. It is really useful and also helpful.
Wish you great success in blogging.
John
Thanks for the tip mike. Dofollow is the only follow, people need to know
I own three blogs and i had never thought about that strategy before. I would also monitor my blog comments more closely in order to avoid such spam comments.
Well said. Unfortunately, with Google now placing so much emphasis on dofollow/nofollow links, it is no surprise that so many people will try to cheat the system. Funnily enough, nofollow blogs are still receiving considerable spam.
We are currently working on our new PackshotCreator website, and were considering having a dofollow blog too. However, the key with such a blog would be to enforce comment monitoring and moderation to prevent the spam that it will most likely attract.
Unfortunately, comment moderation does require resources, which we simply cannot afford. As such, the blog will have to be nofollow. This is however a great post for those who want to go ahead and keep their blog dofollow.
From my experience running a blog with a PR4, if do follow comments are enabled the spam is outrageous, and if you go a day or two without managing it, people catch on and it gets worse. it might work for a PR2 page, but once word is out you have a pr4 or higher, its over.
I like DoFollow Blogs! I always commenting on DoFollow blogs because the backlinks are very valuable.
Commenting is a fantastic way to meet new people and make connections. So, here I am out on the net randomly visiting Do-Follow blogs.Your blog is very informative.
I always use DoFollow blogs for commenting because it gives a valuable backlinks.
I think Commenting is a fantastic way to meet new people and make connections.
I usually comment on any blogs but now Do follow & No Follow matter made me confused. sometimes fear of considering me as a spam, my had to pay more attention in choosing word than my comment. What a situation.
I’m just starting out in SEO and have read that do follow blog comments really help with your rankings. My friend has 3 sites on the first page of Google from doing this. So I’ve learned how to leave comments on blogs, but all of them seem to be no follow. Is there a search engine for only do follow blogs?

Truth. I think that if someone wants a backlink for his website, needs not only find dofollow blogs, also it needs to read the post and write something useful.
Because if we learn only to post links and make “spam” then… it will be the same as get Spam Emails.
So your technique is really good.. I think that the people that has follow needs to check it one per one.
As Jeremy Schoemaker has once said, it is about building a brand and getting the word out, less of knowing the latest link building trick and seo hackery.
great blog I absolutely love it and thank you for your time in sharing your thoughts on the world of do follow. I heard Matt Cutts has a bumpersticker on his car and guess what it says, no-follow. Just thought that was funny. Looking for a do follow blog here is a little tip! search TARGETKEYWORD + “Remember my personal information” jackpot!
Nice catch with the blog spam. I’m going to have to be on the lookout for that one. I did, however, notice that a couple of my commenters were reusing their own comments, after waiting a month or so between comments. Kinda like your story, I read the comment and thought to myself that this sounds familiar?
DoFollow can be a win-win situation if commenters would just play fair.
There is always a risk to attract dishonest people, who seek unfair advantages by using dirty tricks. However my impression is that the amount of dofollow blogs is growing a lot and this marketing has a future, because search engines love this type of pages.
Great blog I extremely care for it and thank you meant for your time in allotment your opinion on the earth of do follow. I hear dull Cutts has a bumpersticker on top of his car and guess what it says, no-follow. Just thinking that was amusing. look for a do follow blog at this time is a diminutive tip! search TARGETKEYWORD + “Remember my personal information” jackpot!
This is so true. I too have a do follow blog and have to deal with the same issues you mention, but it also brings in good discussions on various topics.
In Wordpress There is a Opt for this, but is this also the case with Blogger and the other Platforms? I have a few Wordpress Blogs and yet to Sync up with the OLD Blogger Platforms > I just would like to minimize the Babysitting time from Dilwads who use automated software to blast out their Comments in hopes of getting th links
THanks

Blew me away when I found a blog on the do follow movement. Have been using Google to search on the topic for six months and just now found the information here. Goof stuff and worth following.
Yes, this strategy works for me very well. I do blog comments for a long time and can say that it really important to write an useful and interesting comment. There are 2 main reasons why:
1. To pass the approval process by the admin of the blog.
2. To get traffic form the people, who are reading it.
My advice is to do it the way it should bring you those benefits mentioned here.
Great posting, have a great day too.
I guess it’s in our nature, to make things faster and easier – that’s why we have progress. But some will try to cheat the system – that’s why we have crime.

Hi,
I admire the useful information you offer in your for dofollow blog comment strategy.I am new in seo field and your information will be helpful for me.
Thanks for valuable information.
Hey my comment is not a cheating or a kind of spamy. I really value the do follow blog comments because of the valuable traffic to our site and followed back links. Its beneficial… cheers
no doubt,post should be relevant to the topic,otherwise it would look like a spam
Thanks for the heads up. I have a do follow blog and am a strong fan of the do follow concept.
I hate it when comments appear that are the equivalent of thanks, a very nice read.
Comments are meant to add value to the article, provoke discussions and give further information or advice to the reader. Listen up all your spammers!
Hi,
I have gone through your post and the interesting discussion that followed also considered that.
There is no issue in the fact that its a helpful post and the discussion also adds to our information.
But, do blog commenting really works in adding back links as I am doing it since long time and that too in accordance to the blog commenting rules because I know that moderating comments is not an easy task and no one wants to invest time in such things that would not get them something in back.
I really appreciate the post and the comments of others that continued the discussion regarding the do follow blog comments and would like to hear some more facts in this regard.
I can confirm that commenting on dofollow blogs does work. I have watched a keyword phrase move from Google page 4 to Google page 2 to Google page one by making a few comments on quality blogs.
The key is not quantity of backlinks but quality. Two or three quality links are better than 100s of non relavant links. My business depends on dofollow, and articles. Without those few quality links my blogs would be just another domain in the sandbox.
When I first started a year ago I used Linkex as a way to get backlinks. But I soon found that Linkex is mostly used by the Adult industry and I started getting adult links which are not relavant for me and which I don’t want. A few months ago I discovered keywordLuv and CommentLuv. These are the best I have found to date and work very well.
Leaving on topic comments on blogs is a tradition that spans since the beginning of blogs.
I guess the system’s been abused down the line.
With that being said, most webmasters who allow comments on their blogs run the commentluv and keywordluv plugins, makes it easier to find such blogs in the search engines.
hi,
I have learned a lot from your post.
Let me share my sentiments with you….It hurts when I review my comment box and found irrelevant comments just for the sake of links.
Do follow blogs should not be abused.
That was clever of you to catch the person copying the first section of your blogpost to use as their comment. Unfortunately there will always be those who take shortcuts in this world. The rest of us need to keep them honest. Thanks for sharing.
it is not easy to and tedious to monitor every single comment.
For me, usually i allow akismet handle everything for me. Usually those with excessive links are blocked.
I like DoFollow blogs and i always commenting on DoFollow blogs because the backlinks are very valuable.Commenting is a fantastic way to meet new people and make connections.
This is great advice, we are just getting ready to start up our company blog which I will be maintaining. I’m going to make it dofollow as I appreciate the link love I have gotten from others. Thanks for the heads up!
It’s a shame that you offer to do something nice (offer a free backlink) and people try and take advantage of it. Yes it takes time to post a relevant comment but that should be part of the overall strategy you have for your online campaign.
It seems that many webmasters ue automated software in order to get backlinks. Usually its easy to spot because most comments just praise the blog for nice info and stuff like that. I wonder if no Google would be able to spot backlings if all the comments are the same – that might get a lot of website loosing rank.
Hi,
. I read your post, and post a valid comment even with my bad english 
.
Thanks for this great post. Of course I won’t cheat your system
Have just found out about Top Commenters and keyword Luv. They are great plugins. Is anyone
Familier with Tube Mogul? I’m told it;s a great way to get links
Hi, mike
Thanks for valuable information for using the Do follow links. really, i accepted and i will try to my best for use the do follow sites.
Thanks..
Yes, I am very much appreciate with all the strategies and tricks of your do follow blog.I also having do follow blog and saw that so many spammer are misusing this for getting a back link.I will also being careful for this.Any way thanks for sharing the informative post.
As long as the people posting comments bring something positive to the discussion then its all good. Having a system where you need to approve posts before they go live may just deter some people from posting unrelated content.
I own quite a few blogs and in my experience it does not matter what system you use, spammers will still try to leave automated comments for the sake of back links. Thanks to the askmet spam catching system, it no longer requires very much work to monitor comments.
~Jane
Those who “game the system” for instant SEO results are indeed being short-sighted. It takes work to write meaningful blog comments to increase SEO.
Instead of viewing each blog comment as simply “another” backlink, people should see the greater, long-term value and strategy in using blog comments as a way to build trust in yourself and your business and to become a part of an online community. Thanks for the great post!
Spammers are like thief, They always try to invent some new technique to cheat the blogger as they care about only the back link. no maters the comment is relevant or not.
Thanks Mike for this post and sharing some experience. this is the best way to stop the spammer. I request all, if any one catch the spammer and their new way of spamming that you think that every one should know about it. Just write a blog or post a comment on blog like this one so that every one get aware of it.
I might sound crazy but I tend to think that the best way to submit a comment that looks valid is to leave a valid comment.
If you give people value they are more likely to click your link.
The link then has two benefits if it is a dofollow link.
that was a good question and answer because i was also thinking if commenting on dofollow blogs will really gives you points.
as to my personal curiosity i also believe that leaving comments on a dofollow blog will help increase your google pr.
Dofollow comments are always the way forward with reference to building up pagerank. The only thing thats difficult to find is sites that have a higher page rank than page rank 7.
Great information and a great post. Thanks
great information, please keep posting.
You have to moderate every comment if you decide to make your blog as do follow blog. Don’t let the system automatically publish the comment uncontrolled.
Do follow provides us visitors so it is very important to post comments in dofollow blogs to increase our site ranking.
this is the best way to increase your rankings on google, yahoo, and bing. i spend a lot of time backlinking. it works really well.
yah its really very nice and informative thanks for having and sharing your ideas.
I have always looked forward for posts which are informative and something i can use for my reference purpose.
This strategy includes a better ranking trick if applied in true manner.
Thanks men for sharing us some experience. this is the best way to stop the spammer. I request all, if any one catch the spammer and their new way of spamming that you think that every one should know about it. Just write a blog or post a comment on blog like this one so that every one get aware of it.
i like do follow blogs but i am not taking too much advantage on em. i comment is enough for only 1 to 2 articles. thanks
Interesting, never thought that could be a tactic. We run a blog and I’m still wary about opening it to dofollow…this makes me even more wary. Thanks for the good info.
