As I have been going through blogs in the Followlist.com dofollow blog list, I see there are a large number of Blogger blogs in the list.  Blogger blogs, like self hosted Wordpress Blogs are nofollow by default.

In order to get your Blogger blog accepted into my dofollow directory, not only do you have to make your blog dofollow, you also have to setup your comments correctly.

To change a Blogger blog from nofollow, to dofollow, you must modify the template that you are using.  Every time you change the template on your blog, you will have to manually change the template to be nofollow.

Here is how to do that.

Login to your Blogger account, click on “Settings”, click on “Layout”, then “Edit HTML”.  Now we will find the rel=’nofollow’ tag and remove it.

Edit Blogger Template

Edit Blogger Template

In your browser do an Edit – Find and look for rel=’nofollow’.  It will look something like this.

Remove DoFollow from Blogger

Remove DoFollow from Blogger

Delete the “rel=’nofollow’”, and nothing else.  I would also do another Find to make sure you found all instances of rel=’nofollow’ and removed them.

Save the template.

Okay, the first step is now complete, but there is another step that is required in order for the blog to be accepted in my directory.  Right now the comments are dofollow, but the comments point to only Blogger profiles, so links are not pointed directly to a commentors website.

Now, we will setup the comments to allow commentors to point to their website.

Go to “Settings”, then “Comments”.  Under “Who Can Comment?”, select “Anyone – Includes Anonymous Users” like below.

DoFollow Blogger Comments

DoFollow Blogger Comments

Save the settings.  Now, when someone attempts to leave a comment, they will have the option to comment using a Name/URL, see below.  Any Blogger blog that does not have the Name/URL option, along with not being dofollow, will not be approved.

  6. Flex application developer on March 25th, 2010 2:04 am

    if someone wants very fast traffic towards there blog than its a nice way to add dofloow tag to there blog because its like a bait

  7. edwin on March 25th, 2010 2:35 am

    It simply means that you are allowing each commenter’s links in your comments section to be nofollow free.

  8. Web Hosting UK on March 25th, 2010 4:44 am

    Useful information… though i don’t have a blogger blog but will bookmark it for future purpose.
    Thanks

  9. Richard from Debt Solutions UK on March 25th, 2010 9:42 am

    I did not realise they were no follow automatically. Does it help with traffic if you go do follow?

  10. Peter Holiday on March 25th, 2010 5:35 pm

    Recommend that thing to you if you want to get more traffic and activity in whole but mind that you’ll spend additional time moderating your comments.

  11. Teena from V8 Supercars on March 25th, 2010 10:27 pm

    It’s good to make your blog a do follow because search engines love those. And not only that, you are also helping those sites which you have put links and those people who are building links on your site.

  12. Rajib from Bible Quotes on March 26th, 2010 11:29 am

    Thanks for this post showing how to make blogger blogs dofollow. I had asked you in my previous comment on your 19th March post to let us know about dofollow comment plugins for blogger blogs, if any such was there. I have got my answer. Thanks once again. I will definitely submit my blog site to your dofollow blog directory list when I make it dofollow.

  13. Tom from 21Nova casino on March 27th, 2010 12:35 am

    Great, thanks! It’s easy way to increase traffic to you blogger blog :-)

  14. Lionel on March 27th, 2010 2:44 am

    Your blog “Making Your Blogger Blog DoFollow” was a very interesting post. But I would still like to know how to make my self hosted blog a DoFollow. Nevertheless I would still like to thank you for taking the time to share this with us; your work is really appreciated.

  15. Software Development on March 27th, 2010 6:19 am

    Do follow blogs are one of the best ways to promote your blog or website. Do follow blogs allow website owners with small budgets to get a foot hold within the search engines.

  16. Satriya from Indonesia Java International Destination on March 28th, 2010 8:29 am

    Useful tips, i’ll try it on my old blogpost blog, thanks for sharing.

  17. joe from tim lowe on March 29th, 2010 6:46 am

    The only concern I have is the moderation effort it takes or is there good software available now?

  18. Kevin from Guarantor on March 29th, 2010 11:43 pm

    The do follow blogs are to good for promotion. But we should be careful while using the same. There are ethics for bloggers that all should abide by them at all times.

  19. SEO Birmingham on March 31st, 2010 8:10 am

    Great thanks for the information now I can have my blog as a do follow.

  20. James from quinny zapp stroller on March 31st, 2010 9:25 am

    Thanks for that tip. I’ve got 5 blogger blogs and that’s a feature I’ve been trying to get info on for a while. Do you still have to manually approve the comments once the functionality has been implemented?

  21. cisco training on April 3rd, 2010 5:02 am

    i think good information given by author to make your blog dofollow.thanks

  22. Horse Gifts on April 4th, 2010 8:18 am

    Keep in mind if you go the dofollow blog route you will need to heavily moderate posts and use capture codes to prevent bots.

  23. Mens Silk Ties on April 5th, 2010 3:39 am

    Very interesting post. thanks for sharing the post.

  24. Victor Rey from Wristbands on April 6th, 2010 11:19 pm

    Making blogs to do-follow will help in increasing site traffic and visitor. It’s like mutual benefit to both the visitors and website since visitor gets a back link and the website gets more traffic initially which is quite easy process. Thanks for your post and support.

  25. Best Internet Marketing Services on April 8th, 2010 2:41 pm

    If you’re a blogger, then you need to check out Andy’s ultimate list of dofollow plugins.

  26. Venura on April 10th, 2010 8:02 pm

    Hi, I’m a newbie to blogging. I have allowed anonymous commenting for my blog, but I prefer if I can block complete anonymous comments and allow only Name/URL.

    As far as I understand from your post I should not approve these comments when I’m moderating them. Am I correct?

  27. venice Hotels on April 12th, 2010 9:56 am

    Yes that is a nice idea to make the blog do follow it is really very helpful to increase the blog traffic. I did so after reading your post and helped a lot. Thanks for your suggestion. Keep up the good work.

  40. Affiliate Talk on May 10th, 2010 7:54 am

    Don’t you think that the wordpress and blogger blogs should be dofollow by default.Many newbies don’t know the benefit of dofollow so even though they like to offer the link benefit they fail to do it.

  41. buy fire pit on June 3rd, 2010 11:29 am

    Excellent – I joined the dofollow community several months ago, and it’s nice to have some people leaving comments and being able to engage with my readers!

  42. Internet marketing services on June 9th, 2010 12:18 am

    My blog use “dofollow” meta tags. But to avoid google penalty, my friend suggest me to put relation “nofollow” to my affiliate programs links.Can I use this way? Does Google still follow my affiliate links?

  43. varun.g on June 9th, 2010 1:57 am

    These are really fantastic tips.It helps me a lot.Blogger’s default meters are worse.Its quite cool to be allow following links.I am also afraid of google penalty.I need major tips on that.I hope to get that from you.Greets pal

  47. stacie from birmingham hotels on July 9th, 2010 9:05 am

    I’m grateful for the help but why does this look so complicated? This is why newbies like me should get someone else to do the work. I’d love to make my blog dofollow when I get one but isn’t there an easier way?

  48. Jim from Aging Creams on July 14th, 2010 6:42 pm

  53. Moonbounce Party on August 7th, 2010 8:56 pm

    The same time I would like to mention how to turn wordpress to DO-FOLLOW. There are 2 options.
    1. Installing do follow plugin.
    2.Go to public_html/wp-includes/comment-template.php
    Around line you should have this, or something like this:
    $return = “$author“;
    Just remove the nofollow from there and the links become dofollow.
    Result should be like this:
    $return = “$author“;
    That’s all.
