I just ran Ahrefs site explorer on my own site.. and I don't know how accurate the information is but it says aproximately 6 of my backlinks are "do follow" versus literally hundreds that are no "no follow".

I was pretty surprised, since my site has been doing really well in the rankings (despite still being PR 0).

I've been building links by posting comments on blogs quite a bit, so I guess it's no surprise that most of them are "no follow", but I'm still shocked at the ratio.

Should I completely change my strategy and only do guest posts and higher quality backlinks from now on, as well as finding more directories I can submit my site to, and more sites that will exchange links with me? I've seen a few PR4 or PR5 sites that have a link list and offer to exchange links. I'm guessing google is cracking down on this type of crap though, even though it's not a true blackhat link network or anything.

I'm curious what you guys think...

Is it normal for 90-95% of blog comments to be "no follow"?
 


I don't think that anyone here is that advanced in link building.. You might want to try Digital Point forum.
 
Why do you think Dofollow is any better for you than Nofollow?

And where did you hear that? On DP or WaFo? So go ask there.
 
damn guys... 2 replies in a row telling me to GTFO of wickedfire haha. I didn't think i was THAT bad.

I understand that "no follow" links still have value. I guess I just wanted more "do follow" links as well. I guess I'll do both.

I can see now, the idiotic part of my post was asking if I should completely stop 1 thing and start another. I should probably be doing both, consistently, nomatter what.
 
Naw dude, naw, chill, we just messing with you. I was a newb once too, but then I found Grindstone. Maybe try PM'ing him, he always gives solid advice.
 
Look at what people are doing that is working for them from data you collect in the search engines. Then just do the same thing. OK? I'm done sharing million dollar secrets.

OP goto the enlightened section and spend a couple of days reading and re-reading everything. Pay attention to anything by CCarter, Hobbster, Guerilla. and anyone else who's an authority here.

People around here will contribute if you show you have put in the time to learn. If you expect to have an answer given to you then expect to be trolled 4chan style.
 
re: nofollow

I built one of the top ranking sites in my niche. And same as you are describing, 90% of the links were nofollow. Even though there were so many nofollows, they were all on high quality, high authority sites. Might want to start getting more dofollows to keep things natural and get some more pagerank flowing, otherwise if its working (and it seems to be) then keep going :)
 
Most quality wordpress blogs have comments set as nofollow.

Long back we had Commentluv plugin installed on many blogs.. ah the good times of seo

Nofollow isn't as worthless as you may believe. For example, you can get a link by comment spamming on matt cutts blog. Doesn't mean that comment is useless in terms of seo
