    @Mark

    I believe you need three blogs in order for a community to be active.

    @Andy
    It is WELL WORTHED to get a link or two from you...lol

    I really appreciate the link Andy, I need all the help I can get as I try and get off the ground.

    I changed the anchor texts, thanks for the reminder.

    Andy I was visiting your site, read this and went off to visit BUMPzee. I hadn't been there for a while and I think you've just discovered that I added a couple more of my sites to the Do Follow community. I also wrote an article about Bumpzee on my site WebStyle. I think it's a fantastic social network with a lot of potential. Linkage being one huge bonus!

    Also, on one of your Do Follow posts I mentioned that I'd started a Do Follow Blogroll. You didn't think that was the best idea, but in just two weeks the list has about 110 sites on it (I have more to add!) and many of the people on the list are visiting the sites and leaving useful valid comments. I love it. it's working very well. It's working the way I hoped it would.
  • AndyBeard · 2 years ago
    Yes and I made sure I included them straight away :)

    There is a difference between links, link exchanges and related deep links.

    I have gone into more detail by email.

    One side effect of not placing nofollow links will be getting lots of spam spiders and webmasters posting stuff on your valuable high PR post.
  • AndyBeard · 2 years ago
    It doesn't increase automated spam, as I have been using dofollow on blogs for 2 years.

    It can affect manual spam, but I have a comments policy I enforce, and also tend to visit the blogs of people who leave comments.

    As an example I decided your anchor text was in breach of my comment policy, so you didn't get a link.

    It's the third time I read this post and every time I learn something new about linking. Would you say is better to have 3 links in PR6 sites than 100 in PR2 blogs?
  • AndyBeard · 2 years ago
    You want to aim for links between relevant content, period

    If you get the links from high pagerank sites so much the better, because they will also probably give you a lot more traffic, but at the end of the day you want to aim for relevance of the content, and good anchor text.

    I think I will just link to my archived NoFollow "label" page when I comment here from now on. In fact, I will just set up some main themed label links in my bookmark folder for easy access -- copy and paste 'em in.

    I don't think targeting specific pages, relevant to the post or not, is a good idea. By the time you get into the commenting area the relevance around you is fractured; not as focused as the post above you. Plus there is the linking text issue too, which definitely has no relevance (unless your name changes from Rogain one day, then Veromax the next).

    If you keep it generalized (like label pages are) and concentrate on 5 or 6 main types of labels (or categories) that you post about often, you probably would be better off in the long run. Just keep pounding away at them and build the foundation -- not the roof.

    As for PR of the page, I don't even look at it. While PR may beget PR, I still see low ranked sites beating out higher ones in the SERPS all the time. Well except for the 800 pound gorillas of course (but that is another story). So PR, directly or indirectly, really has no bearing on things.

    Case in point. I went on 2 year hiatus, blog went to crap. No juice left. Come back, after a month I make one post about Serebro -- it turned up number 14 out of 800k the next day (well with safe-search activated) Of course, if those girls were hot in the US ... I wouldn't be able to make that claim.
  • AndyBeard · 2 years ago
    I link to tag pages all the time for deep links, and they work the same as labels on Blogger.

    It is a great way of sharing just a little love to them from external links, and quite often they are more niched and have nice titles etc to help them rank.
    I do need to work on optimizing mine a little better, but I always and too busy doing other things.

    I still need to link through to your improved tutorial on removing nofollow from Blogger, as I did find it more useful than the previous one I linked to.

    I have similar problems with my site http://www.unregisterednews.com. Effectively, nofollow concentrates advertising commission onto a few very popular websites and acts against a fairer, diluted spread of commission income. The internet is now a much harder place for non-established link based business. Nice one google.
