Do Follow Links - Websites That You Can Use to Build Back Links
Do you need to build backlinks Fast? I ran across a great list of “Do Follow” websites:
http://www.squidoo.com/dofollow
See back in the day when internet marketers didn’t exploit websites like myspace, wikipedia, flickr, Scrib, and other social media sites ALL links coming from these websites counted as backlinks in the search engines!
But just as spammers killed e-mail social media markers are already killing social networking. Major social networking sites add “No Follow” links to any link posted on their site; blogs & forums also have followed suit. So if you have a link on a PR 5 web page and wonder why your link hasn’t improved your rankings you may want to check if it has a no follow tag.
How to Check If NO Follow or DO Follow?
- View The Page Source, if the link the code rel=“nofollow” it means search engines can’t see it
- Download SEO For Firefox (need to use firefox web browser) - every link highlighted in red means it is nofollow

If been reading around this debate recently and am getting mixed messages as to whether or not Google penalizes DO FOLLOW links.
What do you think?
Also, I have read the opinion that any link in a blog comment apart from the one in the “Website” field can be considered spam. There is even an application that you can add to your blog to blacklist people who add links in their comments.
I feel that if somebody adds a useful comment they should also be able to add a link back to their website in the comment body itself. Spam is when someone just adds a blatant ad like
“Thanks. See http…spamcity dot tv for great blah blah”
But sometimes spam is in the eye of the beholder.

Hi David,
There is no code you need to add for “DO Follow” links. Do Follow links are just your old normal links…the only reason the term came about is because people started adding No Follow Links.
Most blogging software, like WordPress (this blog uses), have a default ‘No Follow’ setting for user comments. For example when you posted your link, David Hurley, a no follow link was automatically added. Can you imagine how hard it would be to track each and every comment on a blog? View the bloggers website, analyze it, and then decide if you want to link/promote their site?
It would be like walking allowing any customer who walks into a retail store to post a big banner of their company in the isles.
