I put a lot of effort in the search mechanism for this page – nevertheless: be warned, I cannot guarantee that every blog reported as doFollow blog really is a doFollow blog. Searching for Blogs without the nofollow tag sounds easy at first – in reality it is not. Some blogs have all the keywords that trigger the search on the first page, but if you really comment are shown another page, so the check does not work. Other blogs use plugins that allow the blog owner to award doFollow links to only some of their commenters and other blogs simply do not have any comments to check on yet.
Resumee: The lists you can obtain here can be a great help, but do not rely too heavily on them.
The list shows both, nofollow and dofollow blogs, if you only want to see the dofollow blogs, switch the excel auto filter to “yes” in the dofollow column.
A link from a nofollow blog can still bring you significant traffic, if it is a very popular blog and your comment is of high value and relavant to the blog’s topic. It does not help you in terms of ranking, but you should still consider commenting if you can contribute to the discussion – that is what blog comments are all about…
My advice: use Firefox and the SEO for Firefox Extension – it will show you whether links on a page are DoFollow or NoFollow.
If you are looking for a plugin for wordpress to make your own blog Do-Follow have a try at this:
Thanks for the info~
It’s interesting that blogs first started out as a way for people to express their opinions on their chosen subjects (at least that’s what I thought), but now it has turned into a networking tool with this dofollow and nofollow debate.
But I guess business is business.
Hi Steve
Yeah – business changes a lot
But the nofollow/dofollow thing is not a blog only issue – it affects every website out there.
The only thing is that most blogging software by default create nofollow links for the comments, this makes it interesting from an SEO point of view…

I agree with you that no follow links are fruitful for traffic generation but helpless in case of page ranking. I can say that no follow is product of SEM ( Search Engine Marketing ) whereas do follow is product of both SEM and SEO ( Search Engine Optimization)
Actually I’m using the “SEO for firefox extension” for mozilla, and yes! it helped me a lot in determining blogs if they are dofollow/nofollow. But I like your point that commenting is not only for dofollow for our self benefit, the main thing is to contribute what knowledge you can give or other information. I salute you in pointing about that. Very nice!

Great job guys. That blog list is amasing! You were the ones to teach me about commentLuv and keywordLuv plugins, so thank you very much for that, too. I knew about the no-follow links and have been using SEO for Firefox plugin, too, which shows the no-follow links in a pink background colour. So, keep blogging hard and think pink
Well hopefully the list you provide will include mostly dofollow blogs. I know how hard it is to find legit dofollow blogs. So thank you for your help.
The list is just the complete list of blogs found, but you can filter it to show only dofollow blogs. Whether there are more nofollow or dofollow blogs in the list depends just on whether google finds more dofollow or nofollow blogs for the given keyword…
I have found it to be quite the opposite.
Initially of course I was concerned about spam.
On occasion I do get spammers, however MOST comments are in fact geared towards the post topic and offer something to my readers.
