Allowing Dofollow Links On Your Blog Can Hurt Your Credibility?

Posted by admin | March 29, 2009 .

Many people and so called marketing gurus believe that bloggers should allow Dofollow links on blogs to encourage comments. I’M not disagreeing with this idea! Even new and low traffic blogs receive much more comments with this strategy.

Do Follow Links Can Hurt Your Credibility?

When you allow Dofollow links you give an open opportunity to spammers to receive inbound links and PR from you website. Although there will be comments from high quality bloggers and webmasters as well but most people will try to exploit this by leaving fake comments just to receive inbound links.

Do You Need Commenters OR Loyal Readers?

Regular and loyal readers don’t even consider the follow and no follow factor while leaving a comment. But linking to spam websites and passing PR by allowing Dofollow links will ultimately hurt your credibility. Do you just need Commenters OR loyal blog readers? Choice is yours.

    here are many “SEO Gurus” that will tell you commenting on blogs can boost your pageranking a lot. These gurus are also the ones with page rank of 0.
    You might be asking this question to yourself, “Why should I even bother with commenting then?” Because you want to get noticed! Posting comments like “nice post!” will not get you noticed. You want to add value into the discussion, and that will get the author of the blog to notice you. Ask good questions or let the author know about something that was missing in the post. Those two are just basic ideas.

    Allowing Do-follow links from blog is not bad but as you told that there will be a chance of spam, for that you can do moderation /review the comments then allow to getting live on the page. No-Follow Blogs are not getting good number of inbound links.

    This article does give food for thought and I am now considering my options. I noticed that you do allow dofollow links. Are you not concerned about the spamming issue? I guess as someone mentioned below one can just moderate each comment that comment that they get right?

    This is the perfect blog for anyone who wants to know about this topic. You know so much its almost hard to
    argue with you (not that I really would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject thats been
    written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
