As you know, one good way of building backlinks is by posting on dofollow blogs. This is one of my favorite backlink strategies, that’s why this blog exists and why I created my DoFollow Blog Directory.

Because I am always interested in building backlinks, a post by Alex Sysoef caught my eye. He has a great post, Build Oneway Backlinks Through Influence Guide, that contains a video he did that shows another way to build backlinks.

This video has a couple of great tips on how to use Google and Google Alerts to notify you when someone links to your blog. His strategy is to reciprocate by doing something in return for the link – like Stumbling or Digging the post that links to him.

This has two benefits:
1. Gives you a chance to use the law of reciprocity
2. Can bring you more traffic as you Stumble and Digg those posts linking to you.

This is one of those simple strategies that makes so much sense that you wonder why you didn’t think of it yourself.

You can implement this simple backlink strategy today – it will only take a few minutes of your time.

    Yes indeed, that sounds like a great plan. By this you increase the probability that somebody clicks your link. I like that one.
    I am also subscribed at google alerts, the probelm is that I tend to get too many alerts for my keywords (that is why I use them for) so I now just ignore them.

  2. Custom Logo Design on September 6th, 2008 1:39 am

    this sounds like an interesting idea. keep it up.

  3. Pelle from DoFollow Blog Search on September 7th, 2008 11:29 am

    This is certainly something you can do, doesn’t take that much time and could definately increase your visitor count.

  6. warren4321 on September 11th, 2008 9:38 am

    hope to learn something from you. I really confuse on nofollow and dofollow.

  7. PSA DNA authenticated autographs on September 12th, 2008 1:09 pm

    Hi Mike,

    I know Alex well and he is indeed a great man with plenty of knowledge. Great idea to blog about this the way you did.

  8. aniroy1986 on September 13th, 2008 10:22 pm

    i was wondering if u can add some method to check whether blogs in ur directory remain dofollow or not.
    its the problem of all dofollow search engines & directories. if u search u will find some blogs being nofollow.

  9. Do-Follow Mike on September 14th, 2008 1:36 pm

    @aniroy,
    It is difficult to monitor blogs in the directory going back to nofollow, and I don’t have an automated way of checking.

    The best way to monitor it, is for people who are posting comments on those blogs, make sure they are still dofollow, and then report back to me blogs that are no longer dofollow.

    I could put a “report blog” link in the directory so you could notify me of blogs that aren’t dofollow.

    I am open to any other suggestions :-)

    Mike

    Do-follow blogs is one of my favorite backlink strategies as well.

  11. Paul from Meeting rooms on September 23rd, 2008 12:39 pm

    Thanks for sharing. I’ve been using do follow blogs as part of my backlink strategy ad I’ve seen a tremendous improvement in both traffic and search performance. It only constitutes to 10% of my strategy,always have a good mix.

  12. Jeffrey from Child Safety on September 24th, 2008 8:29 pm

    When it comes to backlink , I usually use Do-follow.It is much easier.

  13. TR from Alcohol Poisoning on September 28th, 2008 1:44 pm

    I think stumbling a post that links to you is a great idea, it is very easy to do and could give you a lot more traffic – some of my stumbled posts on one of my blogs brings 1000+ visitors a day!

  14. Leonard from Nashville Real Estate on September 28th, 2008 11:14 pm

    Dofollow is really my favorite when it comes to backlink. It is very easy to use.

  15. kouji from haiku poems examples on October 1st, 2008 2:12 pm

  23. Hardi Wijaya from backlink on June 10th, 2010 10:04 pm

    Be careful of offering reciprocal link. It’s very easy to get cheated if you don’t have

    enough knowledge.

    I’ve seen tricks like such as -stuffing in outgoing links and forcing iframe to

    outgoing links, which the purpose is to stop link juice from flowing out.

  58. Brad from Backlinking on February 2nd, 2011 11:30 am

    Commenting on blogs is funn, plus if you actually read the post you learn new things too. Learning and commenting is what I call it. Plus if the comment is good the owner will allow your comment on the blog to get you a good backlink. One new way I found to get free oneway backlinks is through a system that takes your articels after you spin them, and posts them free to 30 blogs of your choice. they get blogs registered on their site all the time and they allow you to post your articles. it saves alot of time and you can submit unlimited free articles and get to google page one.

  59. Messy from office furniture on February 11th, 2011 8:11 am

    I like your method, but blog comment is one of my favorite strategies to get oneway links. Yahoo site explorer is a free tool that allows me to discover high PR backlinks site from my competitors with ease. This technique is extremely great when we use it properly.
