DoFollow Blogs – How To Find Them?
We have talked about how to make blog comments and build links at the same time for more traffic and sales in the earlier post but I think it’s just not complete without telling you how to find the correct blogs to leave your blog comments.
Okay, give a man a fish and feed him for a day or teach a man to fish and feed him for life! Well, I’m going to do just both for you.
Finding a blog to comment upon is a challenge and finding a blog with dofollow enabled is even more challenging. But we all know that the benefits of the dofollow right? So, it’s time worth spends simply because comments that you left at dofollow blogs count towards your blog PR.
But we are going beyond the backlink benefit here. We are also keen in the traffic that these comments are going to give us. So, here are your fish / fishes:
(Note: Don’t get busy looking at them first. I know it’s tempting! But my purpose is to teach how to fish. So, don’t go anywhere before you finish reading this complete blog post!)
And some dofollow directory to search and also to submit your blog if it was a dofollow to get more traffic to your blog: (Stay with me, just don’t click at them first till you finish reading the whole thing)
And….some dofollow search engines for easy search too:
(Hold on. Stay with me first and don’t get allured by these links yet. There are more to learn)
There is a problem however with these kinds of listings. What? Well, I came across a few blogs from listing like this that was not dofollow. Don’t be surprised. It’s just not easy to maintain a clean list. This is exactly why I wanted to teach you how to fish.
Okay, the very first thing that you need to learn is how to spot a dofollow blog. There are 2 ways of doing it:
Looking at the source code of the blog – This is going to be tiring if you were to check on the source code of each blog that you wanna leave a comment. Anyway, this is how you’re gonna do it. If you’re using Firefox (which you should!), click on the “View” tab and scroll to click on the “View Source” and you’ll be presented with something like this.
See, this is a nofollow blog. And the one below is a dofollow blog (my blog :))
Clear? So, that’s how can do it to check whether the blog that you are about to comment on is dofollow enable. The second way is what I’m actually doing because it saves me a lot of time.
You can install the SEO for Firefox add on that will hilighted all links that are nofollow in red (you can set the colour in the preference but the default is red for nofollow links). So, every time that you want to check on the links attribute of a blog, simply click on the add on and all no follow links will be hilighted (in red – default setting).
There’s still one problem however with this add on. You will get block by search engines (temporarily) from collecting data if you use it too often. So, please make sure it’s off if you’re not doing any search.
Due to this drawback, I’m using this bookmarklet found at nfollow.com/ instead and it works just fine. Look at the results of my blog:
Well, yeah! My blog is dofollow. (Don’t spam me!)
Okay, we’re now at the most important part. I’m going to show you 2 simple ways on how you can actually find dofollow blogs with ease. So, use it with due diligence and with some effort and persistency, getting high PR backlinks and instant traffic with blog comments is a breeze. And well yeah, it cost you nothing.
Finding Dofollow Blogs Using Comment Plugin Footprint
The first method that we are going to utilize is to search for comment plugin footprint. Many bloggers (esp. those who are using Wordpress platform) will install plug in like CommentLuv, KeywordLuv, TopCommentators, Recent Comments etc. to encourage blog visitors to participate in commenting on their blogs. So, here’s how you can do it…
I like keywordluv plugin most because the links it creates are dofollow and that it allows visitors to put any anchor text link they like. The only bad thing is that it will most likely invite spam to blog owners. As you can see from their site, this is what happens when people leave their comment:
“When your readers leave a comment, they should leave their name and keywords in the Name field, using the following format: name@keywords.
When posts are displayed, the plugin searches for the @ character, strips it out and moves the name to front (outside the link).”
Oopps, Sorry! I’m getting too far. Here’s the method to do the search:
Simply use below search string with / without quotes on Google or Yahoo and you’ll be presented with more than enough dofollow blogs to comment on. Simply replace “yourniche” with your targeted niche.
“@YourKeywords yourniche”
“This site uses KeywordLuv yourniche”
For Commentluv search, here is the search string you can use. Don’t forget to double check if the blog is dofollow enabled, using the method described above if you’re commenting for backlinks purpose.
“Enable CommentLuv yourniche”
For top commentators search, here are some search string you can use:
Top commenter yourniche
Top commenters yourniche
Top commentators yourniche
Top commentors yourniche
Again, unlike KeywordLuv, you’ll need to double check if the blog is dofollow enabled. However, if you’re simply commenting for blog traffic, then this is the quick and easy way to locate blogs that are comment enabled.
Finding Dofollow Blogs Using Google Image Search
Excited? Okay, one more method to turn you into a blog comments expert for both traffic and backlinks. You’re going to do an image search at Google for these strings:

I discovered this from slightlyshadyseo.com and is indeed a method that has not been discussed before. A very eye opening method that the crowds know not.
That’s it! The only thing that you need to get it work is to take action now! Hey, and don’t forget the rules - Do not spam!

I use the “this site uses keywordluv” trick myself. In fact, that’s how I found your blog, lol!
Great comprehensive list.
Thanks and welcome x & John!
But don’t get too obsessed with this. Do it sparingly and at the same time consistently while keeping on track on your other main internet business effort.

Solid post, a lot of great info. I will need to look further into the different links. I’ve also toyed with the idea of creating a custom google search with the specific dofollow sites in them.
thanks
Omg, those tips are excellent. Thanks for sharing. Hehe, so easy and logical. It is fair better to go with your methods because with it you can easily find related topic blog to your site, then going through all lists. Also it is much easier to find keyword enabled blogs and top commentators.
SEO plugin is what is best for time sparing while checking if blog is dofollow. I never had problem with google overusing it.
You’re welcome Judit! Doing it correctly and consistently and you’ll be getting both the traffic and PR benefits real soon. It’s no brainer.
Well, I’m not sure why but my SEO plugin always return an error after a few continuous checking made. So, I prefer the latter. No problem so far.
Cheers!

Sorry Deejay.. but it could either be the fault of your line or my server. Hm..give me sometime and I’ll look into it whether it’s necessary for “another” server change.

Tank you for sharing the tricks of the trade. I wish you well as you have a good heart and shared dofollow blogs.
Blog Finder is a great tool for dofollow blogs. I used it to find this blog:)
You could also download SEO quake as a Firefox extension. It will show you no follow links by striking them out when you see them on your browser.
Happy to report that this site has no crossed out links! Thanks guys!
I was so eager to click on the links you provided, then I was so eager to comment and add a suggestion, but now I see that you covered it all.
Great job, I really like your post!

Hi Waken,
Having a bit of trouble doing the search. Do I leave out the quotes “” and pot in a backslash / before and after the string?

Thanks, I had been wondering about this after seeing a new report for sale with a list of such sites - I figured it must be easy enough to find such sites by yourself. Now I know the secret! Much appreciated.
Hi Dave,
You can try either with or without quotes. However, some niches just don’t have enough to show if you put the quotes. So, I normally leave out the quotes to do the search.
Backslash? No, it’s not necessary anywhere in your search string. Enjoy!

Great tips for finding dofollow blogs, thanks for sharing this
Great information! I am bookmarking this site so I can reference to it, a great gem! Love the info about finding dofollow through google images. very nice
kudos to you for this guide. Now I know how to distinguish between them
WOW, this is exactly what i’ve been looking for. Very generous of you to share. Cheers
Thanks for this information. You have just saved me a ton of time!
Thats a lot of good info. I have tried some of the custom “dofollow” search engines before and many of the sites listed are no longer dofollow. It seems these search engines bring in a lot of spammers and the blog owners end up turning nofollow back on. So, I like the techniques you’ve laid out. Thanks.
Great article, I think I will definitely give your suggestions a try.
Very thorough post. What’s bugging me lately is that every time I go and try using a DoFollow blog search engine it returns results that include a lot of blogs that are not DoFollow anymore - does anybody else notice this often?
Hi Kyle! Hi Steve!
Well, yeah. It’s a tiring task for those dofollow blog search engine owner to keep a clean list. And as Kyle pointed out, blog owners might have switched back to nofollow due to excessive spams. So, if your blog is a dofollow, make sure you have Akismet.
Cheers!
