Today I wanted to talk about a good technique that you can use to easily locate blogs that do not have the “nofollow” code. The “nofollow code is used on blogs in order to prevent Google from counting a link back to another site. By allowing comments to follow a link back to another page, it somewhat lowers the authority(PR) of that site in Google’s eyes.

However, a new site that has a low page rank can help itself improve its PR by getting links back from sites that have a higher PR. Establishing links from higher ranking sites will help raise your blogs PR.

For this method to work we need to be able to find blogs that are related to our niche that don’t have the “nofollow” tag. To do this we must first search Google using this search tag.

“[your keywords here]” “powered by wordpress” “leave a comment” -”no comments”

Just replace your keywords with what you want to search for. Now you will get search results that are powered by Wordpress.

So now you can go down the list and check out each of the blogs. The way you figure out if the blog is nofollow or not is to view its page source. To do this just right click the page and select view page source. We can now search the code for the “nofollow” tag. So to save time, because it could take a while to search the whole page, just hit control-G(Mac). This will open a small search box. I think its control-F for pc’s. Now just enter the word “nofollow”. If the search box is red, that means the blog does not have that tag. Then go ahead and leave a comment.

This is a good way to find blogs that are not a part of a database of “dofollow” blogs. So there you have it. Hope that helps you guys out. Till next time.
