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!

One of my sites fell off the earth
I manage a handful of sites and have ranked top 5 for a handful of keywords for a long time. I recently checked one of my clients websites and other tier 2 pages will come up but the home page is now not showing up for any listings on Google. Was there a recent update was I put in the mysterious sandbox? I have not modify anything or using any black hat seo tricks. Only thing that was done is the client installed demand force onto their website. Any feedback about an update or about demand force or issue would be helpful. The site is https://www.nwichiropractic.com/

Specific external links
So...we have an A+ rating with the BBB and have for some time. We have a link from their page. We also use sites like pricegrabber and reseller rankings and have links from those. What I can't figure out is why links from the BBB and Pricegrabber don't even show up in open site explorer but the reseller ratings links are everywhere. The BBB one is easily the oldest and the other two are roughly the same age (i.e. at least a couple years old.)

Finding page authority for a list of sites
I went to Distilled's linklove conference earlier this week. Many of the presenters showed spreadsheets where they had pulled in Page Authority for a long list of sites. What tool can you use to quickly do this? For instance, I want to be able to copy a list of 100 sites into a tool and have it spit out the PA for every site...anybody know how to do this?

Why Is SEOMOZ No Longer crawling All Of My Site
Hi all, I joined Seomoz over a month ago and Roger has been crawling all of the pages on the site approx 20 pages. Through out the last few weeks I have been working on the errors and notices identified by Roger. However, this week Roger has only re-crawled 1 page and is not picking up all the other pages. Has any one come across this problem. can you recommend any thing to resolve it? Many thanks in advance....

But remember, there is no dumb question 🙂 What are the followed vs no followed links? I understand followed links as backlinks to my site, but what is a no followed link? Thank you in advance!
