Make a Site Dofollow and Get Traffic

Dofollow links are great for SEO and when a site offers its visitors free dofollow links, this can drive lots of traffic to this site.

Dofollow links are one of the most highly valued things in SEO.a Webmasters are reluctant to make a site dofollow because this impacts their own SEO rankings in a negative way but when a site manages to attract much more traffic by fellow webmasters, who are looking for dofollow sites to post a link at, this could have more benefits for the site than a hypothetical higher ranking with search engines when the outbound links are nofollow.

Why Dofollow Links Matter

Dofollow links are important because search engine spiders follow them and take them into account when preparing the rankings. Since dofollow links are outbound links and having many outbound links hurts the ratings of the site, many webmasters started putting the nofollow attribute on their backlinks. Nofollow links are not backlinks and this raised the demand for real, dofollow links

How a Site Can Benefit from Being Dofollow

At first, it might look like making a blog or site dofollow is suicidal but actually this isn't so. It is true that when a blog is dofollow, this increases the number of outbound links and leads to worse SEO rankings but the benefits of making a site dofollow outweigh the disadvantages: Here are some benefits of dofollow sites:

•                 A dofollow site gets more traffic. When a site is dofollow, many fellow webmasters will search for it    and they will come to see the site before they post a comment. After they post a comment, they might return to see if it has been approved, if there are other comments, etc. All this means additional free traffic for the site. Sure, dofollow links definitely mean more spam, too but if comments are moderated, it is possible to keep it clean.

•                  A dofollow site can be listed in dofollow lists. Even more traffic can be driven from inclusion in various dofollow lists. There are tons of such lists and directories. Additionally, dofollow lists and directories themselves are dofollow, which means that when the dofollow site is included in such a list, it will get a free dofollow backlink in return.

•                  Better promotion chances from third parties. One more not so obvious benefit of making a site or blog dofollow is that this increases its promotion chances from third parties. Other webmasters might promote the pages with their backlink because when the page with their backlink has a higher PR, this is good for them as well. In other words, these webmasters can bookmark the dofollow site on many Social Bookmarking Sites and this is also free traffic for the site.

As it can be seen from the benefits of making a site dofollow, it is a win-win situation. Making a site dofollow is an especially good idea for a small site but large sites as well can benefit from it.

How to Make Links Dofollow

Depending on what software is used to power the site, the approaches to making a site dofollow vary. In some cases it might not be necessary to do anything special, because outbound links are dofollow by default - the simplest solution is not to put the nofollow attribute.

However, if the outbound links are nofollow by default, as is the case with WordPress, then some minor modifications can fix this. There are special WordPress plugins to enable Dofollow comments – just get them, install them, and activate them. In addition to that a webmaster can add a Top Commentator plugin (for WordPress sites and blogs) or Keyword Luv and this will make the site even more loved by fellow webmasters, who are looking to get some free dofollow links.
