Do you have a new blog or a blog that doesn’t have much interaction? If so, I would highly suggest you turn your blog into a dofollow blog. I know what you’re thinking: aren’t I going to get tons of spam? The answer to this is simple: no. And that’s because a neat little plugin called askimet that will kill 99% of spam that comes through. Sure there will be some that squeak by but they will be easy to monitor. The great thing about dofollow blogs is that there’s a great community of dofollow bloggers who you can build relationships with and are willing to help you learn more about blogging. I have made several online relationships with dofollow bloggers and consider many of them my friends.
One dofollow blogger who is just a cool individual that tells it like it is John Sullivan from Pot Politics. He also runs a new Do Follow community forum called BloggerLuv. I highly recommend you join so you can network with other bloggers of the Do Follow community (no pun intended John). Blogger Luv is a social network of Do Follow bloggers with some well respected bloggers like Extreme John who blogs on everything from his Florida Tanning Business to current events and more. Eren Mckay is an inspirational blogger where you can read motivational articles sort of like John Sullivan’s blog but different (ok totally joking …they may be going after a different audience.) Ching Ya is a great social media blogger and you will learn some excellent strategies on using social media sites.
There are so many more bloggers I want to get to know but there’s only so much time in the day plus I am lazy (just kidding). No but seriously when I find more cool bloggers who I respect I’ll write about them here. please check out Blogger Luv for yourself and tell John I sent you there.
Also if you are or plan on becoming a do follow blog please comment below and I will add you to my dofollow list.

I agree-join the DoFollow movement! It def has increased comments on my blog (I actually wrote a post about it not too long ago). Even more than DoFollow I really love sites that have CommentLuv installed because it’s an effortless way to help share links to commenters blogs.
As for @ExtremeJohn and @GrowMap – I love both of their sites and learn from both of them!

Hey Michelle Thanks so much for commenting. CommentLuv and Keyword Luv is an added bonus for sure. Glad to see you are getting more comments on your blog I am going to stop by and check it out again. I did love your post about dofollow.
Sweet!
I remember now that was the post you read. BTW, just noticed the favicon on this site…pretty darn cute!

Hey Danny,
Loved your post! I’m really glad that you’re telling others about the BloggerLuv community. I think it’s going to be a place where bloggers ( who aren’t stingy and stuck up) will be able to interact and help each other out.
As you know, I love making friends so I’m really excited about it.
By the way thanks for the link and mention
Blessings,
Eren

You are living the Bloggerluv spirit, Danny.
It’s an honor to be mentioned here. I joined the community too, with some unexpected experiences I’ll say. It feels good to be in a positive environment when support and encouragement can help to build one another up.
Do-Follow has been doing wonders and you’re right, people don’t have to be over-worried about spamming for as long we have the control, it’s manageable. I realized so much lately we need to experiment in order to understand. I believe it’s something that whoever has yet to do, can try. ^^
It’s a must-shared post. RT & Stumbled!

Hi Ching Ya, I really have met some wonderful people that are part of the dofollow community like yourself who are real down to earth people who really care about helping each other. It is an honor to have you on my site.
Hey Danny thank you for the mention I appreciate that, especially on a local blog
I like that nice Do Follow image you have too, glad to see you as part of the Do Follow community.

Thanks for the heads up about the dofollow forum, because I like the dynamic of commentluv. When you really care about your blog, as many of us do, we moderate comments strictly, but don’t mind giving away some google juice to those people who come in and add to the conversation. That’s why we started a blog right? To have a conversation …
Anyway, I’d love to be put on your dofollow list.

@ Danny,
Thanks
i think that this would really makes us know who are spammers and who are not!!! If we join the Blogger Luv community then i think that definitely we will have a good discussions about the blogs and its pros and Cons. BTW.. i think many prefer Do follow only for good back links, but in my concern i think thats purely wrong.. it should be a good conversation between the author and the commentator.
Thanks for the Plug in askimet, was not aware of this..
We are trying to think of ways to incorporate Comment Luv into one of our blogs – but as it’s about Broadband/Internet we are all too aware of the spam we would inevitably attract from other internet people…………….

I’m fairly new to the whole “dofollow” thing, but I think it’s great. Not only does it encourage more interaction between the blog author and the commenter, but the commenter essentially gets rewarded =)
I don’t understand why some bloggers switch to “dofollow” then go back to “nofollow”. They often say because they don’t have time for the increased moderation, but surely if they have askimet or something similar in place, nearly all the spam is taken care of.

I agree about doFollow blogs. They increase my blogs popularity in weeks time. Now I have at least 100 visitors with just weeks after my blog is born.

DoFollow is a good thing, and should be encouraged. It’s one of the few link building methods that budget bloggers have at their disposal. No, they don’t have money to buy links and all that, but everyone can comment.
Interesting read, found your site via google and will be sure to come back and visit on a regular basis. Considering turning one of my sites into a follow one as it’s gone a bit stale recently.

Blogger Luv is a great community for bloggers, am already a member, its a nice place to gain awareness among other bloggers and learn new stuff.
I am sure it would help to get more traffic to your site because people would be spreading your site because it is a dofollow, and the listeners would come and visit your site to see if it is true.
It’s the third blog that I read today that mentions the BloggerLuv community… so I guess I better sign-up.
BTW I’d like to take you up on your offer of being listed on your dofollow list with my signature blog – it also has the keywordluv plugin … and I will enable commentluv soon as well (and it’s based on Thesis, what more can I say)
Hey Tom I sure will add your site. I also visited and commented on your blog. Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
Danny
Thank you for the comment. On relatively new blog – like mine – it’s always gratifying to see more experience bloggers spend some time to leave a comment
I think you speak the truth when you say that dofollow brings more interaction. I have added dofollow to sig links my new forum – http://www.funnyforum.org.
You have to give something to the community to be able to reveive anything back, dofollow is a great way of accomplishing this.
While do follow does increase spam significantly it also increases traffic of quality visitors as well. The result is better discussions and improved rankings.
Great work, thx for sharing the information. Yes we need more dofollow blogs. If I do a blog it will be dofollow,.
Great information! I’ll be joining the DoFollow community ^.^
I can name it do follow community and many of these blogger are very expert SEO like Extreme John and he is also proficient in SEM. Many of these blogger have habit of quick reply.

I’m still new to everything SEO and I am trying to learn. One of the things I’m trying to see is not only how to increase the exposure of my blog and website, but also of how to get others involved in my own posts. I never realized the benefits of having a dofollow blog from a website owners perspective, especially given that mine is a Financial Fetish Niche site with a limited following, but reading your post showed me that going dofollow might benefit me as well; especially if I don’t just blog about the Fetish stuff but about my other interests as well. After fixing my site a little more and getting askimet installed, I might be able to make my blog dofollow as well. Thank you also for letting me know about the bloggerluv community. Perhaps one day I may join it in the future.

I am also thinking of making my blog do follow but will keep the comments under moderation to avoid the spamming messages.
