For the past few days, in order to boost the How to make money from home adventure, I have been studying Search Engine Optimisation and Link Building and many other things related to SEO.
One such thing related to SEO is 'dofollow' and 'nofollow'.
Actually these two terms are important when it comes to search engine rankings.
You must have read on many blogs that 'This blog is dofollow' or 'You DO I FOLLOW!' Now when they mean that their blogs are 'dofollow'? They actually mean that you, as a visitor and your blog can gain some link love from their blogs. In other words 'One way back linking'. One way back links are very important as far as Search Engine rankings are concerned and helps in traffic growth thus helping to make money from home.
How does your blog benefit from dofollow blogs?
Simple! The search engine spiders(robots) crawl each day for some new content on blogs and when they crawl such dofollow blogs(I assume them to be indexed well in the search engines), they crawl through the comments too. If the comments contain your blog links, then the bots obviously crawls through your links and thus you get some page rank juice from the dofollow blogs.
But, if it is gonna be one way linking, then why do such blogs do follow your blog?
The answer is that this encourages visitors like you to stop by and comment on the posts of those blogs. To avoid spamming they mostly enable Comment moderation.
Why do some of them use 'nofollow'?
Now as you know, many of the high page rank blogs offer to place text links in their blogs for some fee. These links are also called 'Paid links'. Google discourages selling text links. The reason for this is that bots of search engines like Google crawl through such links, thus helping them rank higher in search engines. Hence Google encourages the use of nofollow tags in the hyperlinking.
How to make your blog 'dofollow'?
For bloggers who use blogspot.com, to make your blog a dofollow blog you need to remove the nofollow attribute.
