Colleen, over at Geeky Speaky has a great idea! She created a new list called the D-List. This list is for those bloggers that disable the no follow attribute on blog comments. You can do this easily by using the Do Follow plugin if you have a WordPress blog. It you are using no follow on your blog, then any comments that people make are not valuable. What does this mean? When Google ranks web pages it is important that your blog or website has links coming in and going out. If you are leaving links on blogs that have no follow, Google is not recognizing those links.
I first read about the D-List on Amy’s blog - Whatever I Feel Like. So here is the list and my additions to it. EDIT: After I posted this I realized that I was D-listed by Loretta and Stephanie! Thanks Loretta and Stephanie!
***Begin to copy here***
1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back.
2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword.
3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals” list.
4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW is using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the “My Adds” section. (Add no more than 5!) Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!
5. Leave relevant comments on the blogs listed and get a link back to your site thanks to Do Follow!
