I hit quite the treasure trove of new ideas while scanning my favorite blogs today. One of the main things you want to concentrate on for a new site is building up links into my site–by making quality comments on other blogs, or by other means when efficient. The key is, you want lots of links, but you also want the quality of the links will be good. I came across two good links to aid you in you in your own link-building:
- Some crazy cows are giving out free backlinks. These guys got a mention in my last post about typo-squatting, but they’re putting on a pretty quality show. Check ‘em out.
- Courtney Tuttle has a nice list of Blogs that do not implement the "No-Follow" rule on comments you make at their blog. These are the places to concentrate your initial link-building efforts! (Zen Zoomie’s Place has officially joined the Do-Follow Movement as of July 11th, 2007–comment away and feel the link-love!)
My plan: Check-out the D-list at Courtney Tuttle’s site, find blogs that "Do-Follow" and have high Google PageRanks, and post as many meaningful comments as I can this evening.

Hello,
After I joined the Do Follow Movement and saw that there is a D-List, I wanted to be on that list. But, from what I saw, the list hasn’t been updated for a while. So, I decided to keep the list updated myself.
You can find the updated version here: Do Follow List
Also, I wanted to ask if you want to join my list too.
Regards,
Nicusor

Hey Zen, welcome to the dofollow family!
Another way of getting many links back (and it’s not related to dofollow, cause anyway the nofollow tag is kinda useless according to some experts) is to write pillar articles, quality content, that is worth linking to, and at some point, chances are higher authority blogs will link to some of those posts.
I know for a fact that it works
Sure leaving comments on blogs that “dofollow” is a good way, but even blogs that do not “dofollow” is good, Google is not the only search engine out there, and Yahoo doesn’t care for the nofollow tag anyway.
And it’s a lot of fun to build relationships with bloggers that have loads of experience.
My 2 cents

Thanks for the comments, I’ll be putting in a “top commentors” plugin this weekend to add another incentive for folks.
Nicusor–thanks for the lead to your updated “Do Follow List” and for keeping the list up to date. Please do add Zen Zoomie’s Place to your list there!
Jon — I’d love to see some solid qualitative data on how “dofollow” effects Google PageRank and Alexa Traffic Rank, Yahoo, etc.. Any suggested resources?
It’s tough to say what type of effect it’s really going to have on our PageRank since the site’s only been online for about 3 weeks now. I should get a good baseline when Google releases its next PageRank update. From the sound of things, that should be any time now based on how frequently they’ve updated PageRank in the past…

You’re on the list! Welcome!

P.S. Yahoo is indexing a nofollow link (Google doesn’t) but it will not use that link in PR calculation (like Google).

<b>@Nick </b>– Sweet…thanks for the info. I’ve seen some information that even Google “selectively” indexes links that are marked nofollow, although that’s not the official line. I haven’t been able to find any definitive info yet though.
