What is a blog? - I have been explained the term for many times already. I guess who is reading my blog know what is a blog actually.
A blog is simply a website that is updated frequently. It’s short for web log and they started as a kind of online personal journal.
They now take many different forms, but the best blogs have a strong personality and a loyal following. Those two things go hand in hand.
What are comments?
Comments are an integral part of most blogs. It creates a connection between the blog author and their visitors. This interaction is one of the things that make blogs so popular.
It’s the comment that often create the loyal following at a blog. People like to feel they being heard and like defend their position. Not only will people see individual comments, but they will also come back to the same blog over and over again to see how the discussion is going!
Comments and Link Building – Adding Your Comments To Blogs Has Many Advantages
Getiing your link seen by other visitors to the blog, and search engines, developing a following, and offering value to the discussion are few of the benefits. But as you will see, not all blog’s comment sections are created equal.
Do Follow vs. No Follow
There are two basic types of comments from a link building point of view, and knowing the difference is crucial to success.
No follow – Just like they sound, No Follow comments are not read by the search engines. This is done in the coding of the site and prevents the links from being followed. Why? No Follow comments were started as a way to cut down on the number of spam comments. After all, if the links don’t help. then there’s no reason to spam a blog, right? Right, but that bit of logic hasn’t stopped, or slowed down spam commments on blogs.
Because the links are not followed, these blogs are less than ideal fro getting links back use them, but straightforward link building is not one of them.
Do- Follow – These are the opposite of No Follow comments. These are the blogs that allow links to be followed. Obviously, these are the ones I’m the most interested in when it comes to building backlinks to my site.
Yes you can maybe get people to click on a No Follow link, but a Do Follow lets spiders, bots and search engines automate part of the process.
I hope I had explained it well and in simple way. For your information my blog is Do Follow blog. So lets Rockin’ my blog.
If you have any doubt or any question please don’t hesitate to ask me at comment question. I reply to all comments.

Nice information
For me, there’s no difference between dofollow blogs and nofollow blogs. Commenting on other blogs can surely drive traffic to our blogs, but the amount is so small in comparison to traffic from social media. I prefer gaining relationship with other bloggers by commenting on their blogs. So that they are more likely to visit my blog, leave a comment and even be friends on my active social media sites. They then can vote for my submit, help me spread my content over the net. That’s what commenting actually gives me.
Me too. But for the sake of SEO and SERPS, I’m implementing do follow link in my blog. Besides, this is one of my way to reward my readers.
Thank you Farzeen for give nice backlink to us from your blog by commenting. I like the dofollow blog, not only for getting backlink, but also it build one good relationship with other blogger.
Thank you, always love dofollow blogs.
Your welcome friend.
You should also write what disadvantage of dofollow comment form regarding to search engine (google exactly).
Ok Dana. I will try to write on it later. Thanks for remind me.
Hi fazreen,
I like do follow blog
It will give me Backlinks.
But for no follow blog is also useful for traffic generation.
No matter it no follow or do follow blog, keep commenting!
Yeah it doesn’t matter actually but like I said for the sake of SEO we must use it
It doesn’t matter that blog is dofollow or notfollow.Only it matter that blog is good,informative and traffic generated.
Thanks ‘Guru’. Only content can determine how far the certain blog can go
Great post.
Comments are always fun to see on your blog. It makes a part of blogging fun.
About the do follow, getting do follow links are absolute vital for pagerank and rankings. Google only sees do follow links as a valuble link, however no follow is also importent as it brings in traffic. No matter what, they both will stay importent as they both have advantages.
Thanks for your thought. Seems like you have learned a lot about link building
follow and no-follow tags are a recent development. It really was not that popular until Google started penalizing sites with paid static links on them!
I can’t get what you mean.
Nice post mate. I’m glad you keep blogging, there are so many blogger who stop their blog recently.
Thanks Ben. It has been long time I didn’t see you here. Glad to have you back.
You know how I feel about being a Do Follow blogger, hey man love the new layout btw.
Thanks god I found this layout. Very nice and flexible. It fulfill my need. But I still want thesis theme LOl
there are many wordpress plugin that protected comment from spam, just installed it there is no need for no follow stuff, nofollow somewhat useless, so let dofollow all..
Askimet is good enough. I don’t like people using captcha word at comment field. Comment field should be simple. Anyway I love spam because it does tell me my blog is one of their favorite.
