In the past, many people spam the blogs with a lot of comments. The reason they spam the blogs with comments is to get links to their website. During those days, all the backlinks have a do follow relative attribute. Later, Google decided to invent an attribute called the nofollow attribute. The nofollow attribute tells the search engine that the site don’t trust the link. It is actually telling the search engine not to crawl the link. The search engine will bypass the nofollow link when it comes to crawl the site again. If you are linking to a webpage that you don’t trust, it is recommended that you use the nofollow attribute. The nofollow attribute won’t help your site to increase ranking in the search engine.
Most blog owners have nofollow the comment section. This is because the comment section is the most susceptible to spam. There are many blogging software that can automatically add a nofollow attribute to the comment section. When you are performing blog commenting, make sure the blog is dofollow. If the blog is nofollow, it is not necessary to comment it. Besides blogs, there are also forums, answer sites, shout boards and etc that implement the nofollow attribute. To check whether a site uses the dofollow or nofollow attribute, you can right click on the link. When you right click on the link, the right click menu will pop up. You should choose Properties when the right click menu pops up. If the Properties menu states dofollow, it means that the site implements the dofollow attribute. If the Properties menu states nofollow, it means that the site uses the nofollow attribute.
Besides blog commenting, webmasters can utilize free blog hosting service to get backlinks. The free blog hosting service allows you to create unlimited blogs for free of charge. The free blog hosting service can be used to host small blogs that don’t take up a lot of space. Small blogs are great for increasing the backlinks of your site. If you have a lot of small blogs linking to your site, you will notice an increase in the SERP ranking. It is not necessary that every blogs should link to your site. You can cross link between each blogs so that the search engine feel that the link building process is natural. If all the blogs are pointing to your website, the search engine will immediately know that you are the one that is creating the posts. If the search engine finds out that you are trying to get backlinks with your own effort, they won’t be given a high value.
When creating a blog post, make sure you include either a link to another blog or a link to your site. It should not contain too many anchor links. Every post can have 2 – 4 anchor links. The blog post should not be stuffed with keywords. Keyword stuffed blog posts are regarded as spam by the search engine. Each blog post can have 10 - 12 words that are used as keywords. The recommended keyword density for the blog post is 2% - 4%.
