The Ultimate DoFollow Blog List

Posted by & filed under Blogging, Commenting, Feeds, Linking, SEO, Wordpress.

I figured I had to go over the top with this one. Not quite sure if I have. You tell me.

I have been using Fast Blog Finder to find dofollow blog posts for me. It helps and then it doesn’t. I don’t spam. I like getting beneficial links back to my site. I use tools like this because they simplify the process. But sometimes the posts are a little bit old. And I am not quite sure of the etiquette involved. Is an older post OK to comment on? I could see refering to it from a blog post. But after a post has 20 comments, how much do you really add to the conversation if it has ended?

But I have used the software often enough to build a long list of dofollow blogs, 516 to be exact. There may be some doubles. And there may be some nofollow blogs that slipped through the cracks, but it’s pretty clean.

I have seen the blog lists. Useful in some ways. I have seen the search engines. Useful but there is usually no way to favor more recent posts. I built a dofollow river of posts out of this list of feeds, but it’s slow and incomplete. So I figured I’d give out the OPML file.

This is a file you should be able to import into any feed reader. If you can’t, you need to find a better feed reader. I highly recommend NewsGator. To filter out just topics you want to comment on, use watches.

But I also did a quick install of the Optimal OPML browser plugin for WordPress. The results of that are below. And if any of you happen to clean up the file of duplicates or add your own favorites, just pass the new file back to me and I’ll put a new version up.

The OPML of KeywordLuv and CommentLuv Blogs

I haven’t picked up the blogs who have installed these plugins in the last month or so, but here is what I have now: 562 feeds. Same disclaimer. There may be duplicates. Some blogs may have uninstalled the plugins. Etc.

Here is the file.

Update 3/25/2010

The opml files are still there. If you know how to use them go ahead. But blog comments based on dofollow should not be a priority in your link building any more. Rather make useful, meaty or controversial comments on high traffic blogs and use social media to drive traffic to those posts. In other words, contribute.

And then there is this:

    Thanks for these insights. It made me change my blog into a dofollow one. I’ll make sure to download one of your recommended plugins for spam filtering. – Ansley

    Those statistics are rather atrocious.

    Unless “dofollow spam” simply refers to any follow-linked comment?

    Well, still. That’s a lot of energy, whether automated or human, that is going into sweet fanny adams in terms of results.

    This is a great tool for links. We sell custom business cards and we are in the process of building links to our sites. This is the time consuming part of our work.

    I liked the posts and cool layout you have here! I would like to thank you for sharing your experience and the time it took to post!! Two Thumbs up!

    Some people are just spamming, they include links on their comment. Commenting and putting their URL on the website field is enough already.

    I believe that all blogs should allow dofollow links from their comments. This because because people deter from commenting on a blog and starting good conversation because they are not getting a follow link from it. I believe this could be potentially damaging to a blog having nofollow on links

    I have converted my blog to become a do-follow blog and haven’t noticed an increase in spam. I do have commentluv and captcha installed.

    Can anyone please tell me how I can get my link added to the RSS Feeds?

    Outstandingly written post, only when all blog writers offered a similar written content as you, websites will be a more effective place.

    This is what I thought too, but is now looks like some are wrong and some are right. Oh well, you win some and you lose some that’s life I guess.

    This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It’s the old what goes around comes around routine.

    Thank you for the article. It is really is a shame that most people that comment on on blogs are just looking for a link.
    Instead of actually trying to add useful information.

    @Jhon — I’d like to know that as well. On a previous site of mine I was getting over 500 spam messages a day. Out of over 30k I scrolled through, I found four legitimate ones as well. And that was with captcha. The spam situation is a bit ridiculous.

    I also found very confusing when i want to post a comment on a very old article. nowadays it seems that everybody`s using a anti-spam function in their blog.
