Free Online ‘Do Follow’ Blog Search Engine
By Brian Hawkins
on Oct 26, 2008 in Tools and Resources
I was just reading another great post from one of my new friends, Peter Lee, called How Blog Commenting Got Me 1200 Backlinks in 5 Days
In his post Peter included a valuable free online resource that I wanted to share with our subscribers and visitors. It’s a simple online search engine that finds Do-Follow blogs called DoFollo.com. This speeds up the time it takes to find blogs that reward quality comments with search engine friendly backlinks. As you know, these back-links are needed to improve your SEO (search engine optimization).
NOTE: I noticed that I only get the first ten results while using Firefox/3.0.3 In Internet Explorer 7 you get the ‘next page‘ links at the bottom of the page. I don’t know why Firefox cuts that part off but to build backlinks that count it’s worth opening up Microsoft’s browser.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the mention and linkback. Appreciate it. I’m using Firefox 3.03 too but I’m able to see the ‘next page’ links like in IE when I checked ‘dofollo.com’

No problem Peter, I’m glad you shared it with us. It may be one of the plugins I’m using on Firefox causing the problem. I have far too many. One of these days I’ll get around to cleaning it up by removing the ones I don’t use.

Peter really put up some great job there, generating thousands of backlinks in 5 days is not easy. Kudos to you too Brian for sharing the Dofollo.com

Hi Brian!
On the DoFollow.com site I do have the list of following pages at the bottom while using FF 3.
The only thing I found is that many of the sites that were listed there are no follow or no commenting. Yip, just my luck. LOL!
We have upgraded our blogs so, we can choose per comment as to follow or no follow. It might sound snarky but, those people that I do not know and are just leaving very iffy comments, I put them as no follow. It has seemed to cut down them coming back 10 times just for the link. There are those that I do just delete as spam also.
I read how Peter got all the backlinks - WOW! That is awesome! I am a bit slower.
Ok, I will not write a whole post here. LOL!

Hi Sheryl, I’m one of those that just delete the obvious comment spam. Adding the no-follow tag does sound like a nice way to discourage some of the comment spam.
It was just a coincidence but I was just in the middle of a related post when I noticed your comment. It’s ‘The Best Anti-Spam WordPress Plugin: Akismet‘.

Hi Brian.
I got your message last night that your new ezine was out. took a peek and passed Sheryl the link this article. Not sure if Sheryl realizes that we can use the Akismet from word press for the B2 Evolution Blog. http://manual.b2evolution.net/Plugins/akismet_plugin if anyone is running a B2 and wants it.
Not sure if you know anything about the B2 Evolution Blog. A few years back there was a falling out at wordpress and this group left and went into the development of the B2. It is an open source situation like Fire Fox is, B2 has actually been one up on word press for a long while now in a lot of ways. Just recently wordpress has come up with some cool features with their New wordpress direct. Billing and service seem to be in question. Don’t know if they got that straightened out yet.
I won’t get into specifics right now. But the B2 is a lighter blog with some super SEO features. Sheryl’s blog Right now has 7 separate blogs on it that could be run off of separate urls. She just runs the main Sherylloch.com base url for all of them just because we have branded and built her name. All the blogs are linked by navigation a menu.
I’m defiantly not here to bad mouth wordpress they have a lot of people that really enjoy their product. Of course we have made our choice also, we do love our b2s we have three right now.
Thanks for the reminder about Akismet, I had forgot about it in the midst of all I have going on.

Hi Brad, thanks for the info. That is great news for those using B2 Evolution. I have heard of B2 Evolution but never really looked into it. I did notice Sheryl’s Marketing Help Blog when I was looking over her site. In fact, I plan on adding a link to it on our ad tracking site so our members can benefit from her articles. I didn’t realize it was the B2 Evolution Blog that allowed her to have multiple blogs interlaced together like that. That is very cool.

Sorry for some misinformation Brian. The red head woke up……. I thought that she may need the Akismet plug-in So I went and got the down load and the API key from wordpress. A little surprise if she wanted it I would work on her site for a bit today.
Well just recently I had done a way overdue upgrade to Sheryl and Caits sites’ from a 1.9.2 to a 2.4.5 Went very smooth by the way.
Long story short Sheryl tells me that Akismet is already part of the blog with the upgrade.
She is actually ecstatic about People using her Marketing Blog. There are so many sites that need attention it is a bit slow building. We have come across some real cool stuff as of late we need to get on there.
We would also like to give you some link love back also. Our board is almost done to, that is another whole story. Already have a page rank and it isn’t really public yet. LOL
Life is good
Don’t get to chat with you much.
We will have to do a Skype chat
sometime.. When we both get time???????
Back on subject, you can slap me.

Thanks Shri, Peter put together a great list. At one time I had a desktop utility that searched for do-follow blogs but know I can’t find it. No real need anyway now that there are online resources.

i love these lists. very helpful indeed.
but i would love see a truly desktop application that can search real time for blogs with dofollow. like comment kahuna but i have problem with that one as it seems it cannot find blogs in language that i am interested in. i mean whats the point of having a link from english blog to slovakian site ?

Hi Diáre, a desktop program would be nice. The one I had is probably out of date by now. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the do-follow search engines develop some type of desktop version.
