We've recently switched our blog comments over to dofollow, checking to see if we'd get a higher quality of comments to our blog posts. So far, we are not, so I figured I'd give some advice to those people looking for dofollow blogs trying to get backlinks to their site. 1) Make sure you fill in the fields appropriately. If you put in your company name here, or something else, your chance of getting your comment approved goes down. 2) Make sure you read the actual article. If you ask a question about something that has clearly been answered in the article, it just looks like you've skimmed the article and trying to put up a quick comment instead of asking a legitimate question. 3) Post useful comments. Ask for more details on a particular portion of the article. Maybe answer a question that another commenter asked and you know the answer. Things of that nature. If you just post a comment of "nice article", "thanks", etc. you're chances of getting your comment approved are slim. Those are just a few tips. We certainly would like to approve more posts to our blog but so far we're only approving about 1%. If you provide useful comments to a dofollow blog then your chance of getting it approved will go up.
You will get spam comments irrespective of whether your blog has dofollow links or not. Remember, most of these comments are coming from software.
Can someone please give us a list of a few dofollow blogs. Just started promoting my site and looking for sites to submit a few of my articles. Some one said articlebase is a nofollow site is that true?
I've got tons of nofollow (wordpress mostly) blogs that get completely slammed by scrapebox spam all the time. I hate it. I approve some comments but I always edit them to take out their "home page" field entry.
I go one better, I remove the URL section from the actual template and remove any links from the comment content. My pages are now updated almost daily with new content and I'm losing no link juice. 99.9% of all the comments were spam anyway so it's not like I'm losing out on legitimate commenters.
