Often found on the web a blog, especially blogger's blogspot, which states: "This is a DoFollow Blog". The statement was clearly posted on a banner, text or even published as a separate post. Blogger who claimed that his / her blog is a do follow blog hoping that its publication would attract the attention of other bloggers, one of which is to encourage other bloggers to give comments.
However, it is the right for bloggers to set their blogs as do follow, despite that fact by default, all blogs using Blogger service is automagically nofollow (blog). An interesting aspect to be discussed is, What was the substance when a blog is set as a dofollow blog?. The only true answer to this question is that by setting blog to dofollow, showing and proving a solidarity to other bloggers who make comments, because dofollow is an instruction or command to search engine bots to crawl external link that led to commentator's blog, so it get indexed and get PageRank boost. Agreed, if this be interpreted as solidarity fellow bloggers.
But, only this that serve as the substance of dofollow blog?. And apparently, Yes. And apparently as well, you should think twice when it comes to setting up your blog to dofollow blog. Why you should?, Read and think carefully about these:
1. When you are setting up your blog (mainly blogger's blogspot) into dofollow blog, then you should remove nofollow tag or command in blog template, then add meta tags on your blog <head>, that is <meta name="robots" content="index, follow">. It would be very risky when it turns out the external links that are followed by search engine bots are spam blogs. In addition, you also have to be extra to monitor your blog if you find that all external links were pointing to a Spam blog. Take a note, Google is strictly prohibited spam. And your blog is very maybe affected.
2. You will only get false comments on your posts, because those who comment on your posts, very likely, only look for the PageRank boost and only aim for their blog to get indexed by search engines, especially Google. Most likely that will happen is that they give comments that are irrelevant to your posts or just say: "Hii, nice post ...".
Is that what you are looking for in blogging? So what's the substance of DoFollow blog?.
