DoFollow/NotFollow to be or not to be

    There is a lot of talking about dofollow links:

    -does it bring more visitors to you?
    -does it influence SERP ?
    -does it influence PR ?
    -does it increase your earnings ? *

    * My understanding is that traffic will increase on "dofollow comment" blogs, however I'm not so sure this kind of traffic will increase earnings because those visitors came for commenting, not for clicking your ads.
    Please share your opinion.

    well it depend on the ads niche and placement as well. & Traffics are probably from web/blogmasters that wish to gain backlinks.

    DO Follow links can definitely attract more visitors. It has a great influence on search engines' results pages (SERPs). And it increases the value of your page's PR, since Google for example reckons that your page must be of good content and value to people for other sites to give DO Follow links to your site.

    No Follow links are perceived by search engines as being just there for reference purposes only, but they as well can bring in direct traffic from where the links exist. As much as I know, they can't help your ranking on SERPs

    Someone who visits to comment can also look around and find an ad that interests him/her. It is important that you show your ads on the spots where they immediately catch the eyes of visitors.

    -does it bring more visitors to you? No unless you want junky traffic from webmaster who want to spam your blog.
    -does it influence SERP ? No
    -does it influence PR ? No
    -does it increase your earnings ? * Yes if you are selling text link, You want to have your blog to be dofollow or you will hardly find any buyer.

    To answer your questions:

    • DoFollow won't bring more visitors. Maybe more spammers.
    • DoFollow will influence your SERP in a negative way.
    • DoFollow will influence your PR in a negative way.
    • DoFollow won't increase your earnings.

    Hopefully it's clear now :)
