Is there Another Squidoo-like Site that's Dofollow?

    Is there another - dofollow - Squidoo-like site that allows you to create within that site articles with links in them? - I've been finding my way round social bookmarking sites such as Digg, Furl, Reddit, Mixx which you can use to bookmark existing articles (eg Squidoo lenses) but can't seem to find a social site like Squidoo that allows you to create a group of articles which contain dofollow links.

    I've heard that Hubpages are now nofollow.

    Try HubPages - quite like Squidoo, though they are very strict about unique content and links. If you stick to their rules, you will be rewarded with dofollow links.

    Here are the Unofficial Rules for Hubpages.

    I created one that's similar at prospotlight dot com - it's a professional network with the ability to add a website, profile, blog, directory listing, etc.

    you need to get score some points to make your links dofollow at Hubpages. Once you reach that score your links will be dofollow.

    How do you score these points - just write a few non-commercial Hubpages before writing a commercial one or get lots of links to the Hubpages you have or get lots of votes from the Hubpages community?

    You need a overall hubscore of at least 75 to get dofollow links on hubpages. You can increase your overall hubscore by creating many hubs, updating those hubs often, getting traffic to those hubs and by getting votes & fans.

    Squidoo is dofollow as well, but I think when you first submit the lens it is nofollow.

    Many thanks for a helpful answer - is a hubscore of 75 easy to get or not? By many hubs, do you mean 2 or 3 hubs or 10-20 hubs? Also, once you have your hubscore are your earlier hubs dofollow as well or do you have to save your good hubs for once you've got a hubscore?

    Do people believe hupages are worth all the effort for link juice? (I'm not interest in traffic, just links).

    Btw, prospotlight dot com allows dofollow links using standard html. There's an editor for blog posts that makes it easy to add html or you can click the source button to write html directly. No script or style tags are allowed, but most of the rest are.

    Azkul1 - Many thanks for telling us about ProSpotlight - it's nice to find a site that allows - even encourages you - to talk about your own business. Have now created my second-ever blogpost - Sidebar and SEO and will come back to this again.

    As far as getting rid of the nofollow, as vansterdam said, you need an Author Score of at least 75. But the article itself must have a HubScore of 50 or over.

    not true. once you have 75+ as your personal buhscore, you just build a hub with links which will be dofollow to begin with regardless of its individual hubscore. but if you have an established hub account and do a good job on the new hub, it will be 50+ to begin with
