I know people have put these up all over and I understand they are hard to keep up on but jeez. Everytime I find one they arent dofollow, the links don't work or both or whatever. Usually some work but a ton wont. Im talking a dofollow list of each of these types.. social bookmarking blogs forums article submisson sites social networks and other general backlink sites I put together a site that had a list of all of those, but it was really small. I was planning on promoting it, the main reason I did it, was not really to make money although that would have been nice. It was to have the list to work off with links so I can just run through them all for each sites promotion. members could add to it, (Ive thought about making it wiki so they can change the info as well like pr dofollow etc.) The main reason to let members add is there are so many and it would be nice to have a huge resource but this just adds too much spam. (especially allowing them to edit existing ones.) What do the dpers think, should I bring it back (they are still their just no promotion) Maybe give members, like members from dp and others that pm me the ability to add and edit, if they abuse it they lose editing rights and maybe viewing rights. Should I keep the list private only to members (members with the right privelages) etc. Any thoughts.
They give weight to your site. If you are linked to by another site with a link that is not nofollow (meaning its dofollow). Google and other search engines will give a little credit to your site. Thats the basic idea anyways
But most of the sites are having no follow link so this means if you leave a link with no follow it will be no count and can be able to get higher PR?
Im not sure i got all that. If you leave a link and its tagged nofollow then the link is worthless for seo. Its not necessarily worthless from all standpoints because if its informative then someone might click anyways but for increasing search engine ranking, it is wortless.
