DoFollow Express: Is Traffic Generation Cafe Getting Off?

Comment posted on DoFollow Express: Is Traffic Generation Cafe Getting Off? by Ana Hoffman

Wow, Kim - migraine or not, this is one of the best comments I’ve ever received.

Let’s see, where to start… Let’s start with the party analogy.

I see where you are going with it. However it can be argued that the party already cost you a pretty dime, you showed everybody a great time - are you to give your guests a gift to go as well?

As you very well know, blogging is never easy. It takes hours to nurture an idea into a post that would help your readers. You also provide your readers with a forum of sorts - in the form of comments - to get to know you and other readers, to network, build relationships, bring traffic back to their blogs. To me, I am always happy to jump in knowing that I’ve already benefited by simply reading the post.

Plus, we still benefit from NoFollow links. Moreover, Google expects us to have a fair share of them to make our link building look natural.

Secondly, thank you for pointing out the problem with my SEO Super Comments. I wonder if this is a common problem; I would consider contacting Vladimir regarding the issue. Will have to add it to my never-ending to-do list. If you find a solution before I do, let me know.

You are certainly right about us, bloggers, encouraging our readers to comment every way we can. With that in mind, why would we decide to make our blogs NoFollow? Makes no sense.

I am with you as far as why I read other blogs. 1. for information and I don’t usually comment. 2. for link building and then I do seek out DoFollow blogs. 3. One more way I comments is when I visit my readers blogs as my way to say thank you for visiting mine; in that case, I always comment.

I am glad you mentioned that you used to offer DoFollow links after a certain number of comments and it didn’t work; one less thing to consider.

In the end, I have no intention to turn off DoFollow any time soon; hopefuly, never.

I definitely see the huge benefit both for my blog and the community around me to stick to DoFollow. Now if I can only fix the darn SEO Super comments. …

I greatly appreciate your guest post within post , Kim; I truly appreciate your opinion and can’t believe I haven’t spend more time on your blog. And now I know - look forward to learning from each other in the future.

Hello Dan,
Thanks for expressing your support to my blog. I’m glad you find my posts valuable.
Have a blessed day,

Hello John,
Good for you. DoFollow can definitely bring traffic to your blog, but of course commenting to other blogs once in a while is fine. I’ve been doing that as well, but not in forums.

Definitely another way of doing it, Dennis.
There are several plugins that will do this, Brankica.
Check out WP plugin directory for these: SMu Manual DoFollow and Link Love.

Very clever idea, Arturo (nice to meet you!). Something to think about (possibly even a future post for the blog?)
Sounds like you’ve got some great ideas brewing in that head of yours; why don’t you put them together in a blog post and submit it as a guest post for my blog? I always LOVE fresh ideas…
Take a look at this: https://trafficgenerationcafe.online/guest-post/ and look forward to seeing your post!

Sathish from TechieMania techiemania.com December 28, 2010 at 11:24 pm: Hi Ana, I usually comment in some high traffic blogs mainly for my link building campaign. But whenever I find an article which gives more values to the readers I don’t worry about the Nofollow, dofollow thing. I just post a comment to appreciate the author. The later is the reason that I am commenting here.
