Links from Dofollow sites are Nofollow ?
-
Hii i have made few links from dofollow site through blog commenting method and when i checked my site on Open Site Explorer it shows Nofollow .
So my question is links from Dofollow blogs will be nofollow ?
There is any benefit of getting links from dofollow site through comments ?
Thanks

First of all, I agree with everyone else but let me answer the question you asked.
Dofollow blogs often set themselves as dofollow to get links from being listed on dofollow blog lists, like the one you must've found. Once they get listed, they change back to nofollow so they don't leak their juice.
So after they were added to the list they simply changed their blog back. That would be my guess (without looking at the actual link.)
And no, there's no real benefit to doing blog comments simply for the sake of SEO. There are LOTS of reasons to leave comments though, so just do it naturally.

I think you can also take a look at this WBF... (comment marketing as inbound tactic)
Moosa Hemani is right
A friend came up with the same question, maybe the dofollow blog has an "nofollow" Meta Tag? His "dofollow" Blog had a index, nofollow robots-meta-tag.
I wouldn't comment for dofollow Links... -
Hey Moosa thanks for your reply.
Actually my main question is why links from dofollow blogs showing Nofollow in Open Site Explorer ?
And yes i am totally agree with you that blog comments are for building connections not for building links .
Thanks

Hi Sumit,
I am completely agree with Moosa. I would like to add one Matt cutts video link on exactly the same issue.

The shortest and the most honest answer to your questions that you are getting it all wrong. You are using blog comments to build links? Bad idea!
Blog Comments is a great way to build connections and relationships that later can convert in to quality links but building links using blog comments (dofollow or not) is a bad idea all together.
Hope this helps!

Forums and soical network pages - link analysis
Hi, I am working on reputation management project and i reach the point when i found that forums pages and social pages are hard to analyse their links and page rank. for example if you search these kind of pages on http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ , it wont show any result And if you try to find the page rank on Moz toolbar it will show 1 pagerank How would you do guys when u are in this situation, Do you consider these kind of pages different than normal pages? Thanks

Links don't add up
Sorry if this is obvious, but I'm new to seomoz. I've run an analysis for one of my pages and it's showing 624 total links - 118 internal and 6 external. Why doesn't the sum of the internal and external links equal the total links?

Internal Links
I've searched high and low, but I could just be missing it... Is there a report on internal links? Maybe a count? Or better yet, a way to see internal anchor text?

Moving from a dynamic site to nopcommerce
Hi, First question since becoming a member so be gentle with me ;o) We are moving from a site using a dynamically generated ecommercetemplate to a nopcommerce site. I have two questions about this I know that 301 redirects are the best way to pass "link juice" but with the site being dynamically generated a lot of these links will simply disappear when we move to nop, meaning that they wont actually be there in order to add a 301. Any advice on this would be appreciated. How can i get a list of the pages on my current site which have the best rank in order to create the redirects. Unfortunately due to some technical issues we had with google analytics we were unable to install it so dont really have any analytics to give us some extra info. I was hoping that there would be somewhere within seomoz where i could be directed. Many thanks Chris
