Comment Love: Remove rel=”nofollow”
Sunday, April 1st, 2007Mitch Harper at HarpzOn.com writes about getting more website traffic. I was reading his post today about commenting on blogs that don’t use the rel=”nofollow” anchor tags to get more traffic. It occurred to me that removing nofollow from your own blog might actually be a way to get more traffic also.
So I am going to try it as of today. As long as there is some method to stop spam it seems to make sense to give a little in return to your readers. I figure its another method of revenue sharing. And I think the whole blog community should start doing it.
Right now I get very little traffic. I comment on various blogs and get small amounts of traffic from all my comments, but I have yet to top 100 visitors in any day. And I have yet to receive a single comment. I haven’t really tried anything to help this (like all the methods Mitch is describing), mostly because I have no spare money to try the methods he has described.
Anyway, I might not have the exposure to really determine if this concept works, but hey what the heck its worth a try.
Free PageRank, come and get it! Hey, if you really want some pagerank, leave me a comment AND digg this article. That way your link will get more exposure when this story goes crazy.
