Yes – we are a dofollow blog (though you need to comment fast before we close the posts heh heh).

Sorry. If you’re looking for a list or directory of dofollow blogs so you can waste your time linkbuilding, you’ve came to the wrong place. I thought I’d give you some free advice and call you an amateur link builder, a pain in the arse, a timewasting human pondscum, and you look very stupid leaving those moron comments on people’s blogs.But as it’s linkbuilding month on the Hobo site, and I wanted to briefly discuss blog commenting, I will give you that free advice as one time long ago I played the dofollow links game – and they worked a bit – a couple of years ago. Andy Beard enlightened me some years ago and instead of being a dofollow blog hunter, I became a blogger.

I’m not 100% sure, but I don’t think blog comments pass that much, if any Pagerank. They may pass anchor text (I think they do), but I would have thought some smart guy at Google has worked a way to identify and reduce the weight of these links.

But, even if dofollow links pass some semblance of ranking ability, because of dofollow list spammers, most blogs dump dofollow after a while, and you’re hard earned dofollow blog comments get nofollowed. The very nature of blogs too means pages themselves usually get sucked deep into a poor architecture, and the links seem to reduce in value, and that’s only on posts!

If dofollow blogs are your only way of getting links, you might have a lot to learn – have a read of our free link building guide. A few links from a real site is much more value, even on this site, than a link in the comments.

Blog commenting is great way to introduce your site to others in your nice – don’t waste the opportunity to impress aiming for such a low quality temporal link such is a dofollow link….

EDIT – For beginners – What is a dofollow link? It’s a poor made up term that means the opposite of nofollow – ie, it is a search engine friendly link. It’s just a very low quality type of link.

PS – We use the free to download Hobo Custom Link Love to control spam and nuke human pondscum dofollow link builders, and sometimes we out idiot ninja link building commenters. :)

PPS – I intend to test everything I have claimed here, too.

Addition – Phil from Search Engine Optimisation (Dot) Org left the following comment I thought was worthy of a link:

I also hate the human people who feel the need to fill the “name” box with multiple keywords. On my blogs, if its not what is on your birth certificate, or something very close, then its getting removed.

Several times I’ve had to check my own sites to make sure it didn’t actually say “spam your keywords here”, and every time its not been that. I pity the fools whose “seo” tactics revolve around these tactics.

(See what you get from actually commenting on other blogs and taking part in real conversation instead of chasing dofollow links ONLY…. sometimes you get real links with decent anchor text anyway)

Did you know when you link to a Hobo SEO post we have search engine friendly links back to your site if approved? Our comments are also search engine friendly you know (once you've commented on a few posts)! Do you need any more encouragement to get involved in the conversation ;)
