From Monday’s post I received emails via Facebook asking, “How can you tell if the blog is DoFollow or NoFollow?”
In case you missed Monday’s post…click here
I do want you to know that by increasing your backlinks it improves your search engine rankings and increases traffic to your blog. One strategy that helps increase traffic flow is by commenting.
Now, early on when I launched this blog I was commenting very often on blogs thinking I was receiving a backlink from it.
Well, guess what…If it’s a NoFollow blog you are not receiving any backlinks.
So, I created this video showing you how to tell if a blog is a NoFollow blog or DoFollow blog…
To Your Success,
Before you go, go ahead and share this with you friends on Twitter & Facebook by pressing the 2 little buttons on the top right (blue & green button) 
While you’re at it, love to connect with you on facebook & twitter…
Did this video help you out in identifying a DoFollow blog vs. NoFollow blog?
P.S. Are you ready to take that leap of faith to go to the next level? I’ll ask it again…Are you ready to succeed? Do you know that you were made for more. What you have been reading on all of my post, I have been applying to my life and business. Guess what… I’m getting great results. I’ll be more than happy to share this with you, but I’ll warned you first you must be ready to receive. If you are not ready to receive, it will not work. You hold the key to your success in your business.
If you seriously want to turn your business and life around for not the good, but the best. Fill out your name and contact details in the box below. Lets start creating what you deserve in your life.

Hey Josh,
This is a great follow up post to the last one. It’s funny when I read the last one I was thinking you would get a lot of questions about how to identify these two types of blogs. Well covered Josh. Have an awesome week.

Hi Marcus,
When I wrote the last post. I knew the questions were going to come. Especially, when Susanna Hess ask the question in the comment section. I was preparing myself with this video. Thanks for sharing this content!
Have a great day!
Oops by the way Josh… wanted to say HUGE thanks for using my blog in your video. You did a great job explaining all of this information so that more people are educated about this.
Cheers
Marcus
Marcus,
You deserve it! You are always putting quality work out there for everyone. Folks need to know that your blog is a dofollow blog.
Have a great day!
Excellent post Josh.
I have a question for you. I am attempting to make my blog Do Follow but had some difficulties in activating my All In One SEO Plug-in. I was told that was the easiest way to change the code. Do you know of any others plug-ins where I can go in and change the code, because I can’t seem to find the appropriate file in my Cpanel?
Thanks!

Hi Ryan,
Are you installing the ‘Do Follow’ plugin? It should affect at all the ‘All in one SEO’ plugin. Ahhh! I just visited your blog and you are using Disqus as the commenting platform. This plugin will not overwrite the Disqus ‘nofollow’ attribute. Now, you might have to do some searches on forum to see how you can overwrite the ‘nofollow’ attribute on Disqus. I’m not sure how comfortable you feel about getting into the coding of Disqus. You can shoot me an email to discuss this further.
Have a great day!
I like the Disqus system but I ended up dropping it because it is just not compatible with a lot of plugins.
Assuming there is no mod anywhere else for this just open up comments.php and search for nofollow, then remove rel=”nofollow”
You can do this by going into Edit Plugins in WordPress, select Disqus plugin to edit, and then click on comments.php in the right hand side (assuming comments.php is not loaded by default)
The nofollow is on line 12 or 13 so it is easy to find.

Hey, Josh -
Fancy seeing you blog on the same topic!
I think between our blogs we’ll have this topic well-covered.
Video was a great choice here: it’s much easier to show how it work, rather than trying to write about it.
Well done, Josh!

Hi Ana,
It’s important for bloggers to educate themselves on this topic. I couldn’t even imagine how to write all of this so it sounds clear and not confusing.
Have a great day!
Thanks for this video. I had installed a do follow plugin but I have never thought to check on blogs I comment on. I had the Firefox plugin but I just reformatted my computer and I forgot to reinstall that. I never used it for comments before. Good to know. Thanks.
.-= Melodie Kantner´s last blog ..Two Daily Actions Will Help Put Your Business in Motion =-.
Hi Melodie,
I just visited your blog and yes it is a dofollow blog. That is great! Go install that plugin and have some fun.
Have a wonderful day!
How embarrassing
I wish I would have installed the DoFollow plug-in before you shot that video
Great post again Josh! It is an excellent followup to your other posts this week. Between you and Ana I think the topic is being covered extremely well.
Now I need to head over to my blog and install that plug-in
Thanks again for another great post Josh.
.-= Michael Novak´s last blog ..The Best Industry to Learn Leadership =-.
Hi Michael,
There is nothing to be embarrassed. There are plenty of nofollow blogs out there that know about dofollow but still keep it as nofollow. You just happen to be the first commenter on my post so I used it to give you a plug.
Have a great day!
Hey Josh Great Video. You have distinguished in a very simple way the no follow and do follow plug. The video has made it more clear. Thanks
Hi Yadvinder,
I’m glad by putting this video together it made it a lot clearer.
Have a great day!
Have no idea what happened to my last comment but I’ll try it again. Letting you know I appreciate this information.
Hi Jerry,
Thank you! I glad that you were able to learn this.
Have a great day!
Great videoJosh, I’m glad I watched it. I will be installing that plugin asap!
Hi Louise,
That is great that you want to have a do follow blog. Just make sure you install the other plugins to prevent spamming. Spammers love do follow blog for the fact that they try to get a backlink.
Have a great day!
Great job on this detailed explanation.
I learned something new here. I did exactly what you talked about in your previous post. Thanks buddy.

Hi Steve,

I think a lot of people think that automatically the comment section is dofollow. By default the comments are set to nofollow. You’ll have to install the plugin to change it.
Have a great day!
Hey Josh
Great info as usual, and between you and Ana I am now a dofollow, nofollow expert

Hey Josh,
This video is very helpful. I did the check and found out that my blog is nofollow. I have CommentLuv installed, but I assumed the commentator’s link did not have have nofollow attribute, but it does. I will be making some changes.
Doesn’t CommentLuv count toward giving the commentator a back link too?
Great info, Josh!
Take care!

Yes, the Commentluv does give a count towards it. If you check it out with the highlight nofollow link it is not highlighted.

Have a great day!
Hi Josh,
Great post. And, that was a nice video tutorial. I am now convinced that my blog is a dofollow blog. Earlier, I read in a site that if you find a nofollow attribute in the source code, then that blog is a nofollow one. And, when I looked up my blog’s source code I could find dozens of nofollow keywords though I was using the wp-dofollow plugin and I was left confused. Your post have cleared out all the clouds regarding that.

Hi Josh, I use the NoDoFollow plugin for firefox and it works good so far, tells you exactly which links are do and nofollow.

Hi Steve,
This is a topic that most don’t know about and talk about. I’m a huge fan of dofollow blogs, simply because it rewards those that visit every time and leave awesome comments like you do. Now, you do have to take precaution by installing proper plugins to prevent spammers. Because spammers love dofollow blogs.
Have a great weekend!
Josh,
Thanks for the follow up…I have a dofollow but my wordpress plugin monitors it so my spam is under control. Thanks again.
