Every blogger wants to get some linking juice from dofollow blogs. For that reason, I have screened out some great sites for you by their PageRank and Alexa ranking.

What is a DoFollow blog list?

Now-a-days, blogging has become a very significant source of financial gain on the internet. A blog lives on the amount of traffic that it yields from different sources.  Search engine is the main traffic source. For getting traffic from major search engine, your site must have high SERP. To achieve high SERP for a particular keywords, you must have more and more backlinks from different fellow site similar to your niche. Do follow has come up as a novel way to provide you backling from other blogs.

Do follow is an HTML attribute, which is used on links to give “votes” to that site. The attribute works during the posting of blog comments, wherein it tells the search engines that it should follow the links to other web sites. For instance, if you have a backward link from a site that has a Google PageRank of 4, some of that PR will be shifted from their website to your website page they linked to.

That site must have a CommentLuv/ KeywordLuv plugins activated.

What is CommentLuv?

This is a wordpress plugin, that adds a link to the latest post of the comment’s author.  It makes nofollow link dofllow.

What is Dofollow list?

A Do Follow list is a list of blogs, which have Do Follow attributes on their blogs.
