Kim, mine has CommentLuv and is a turns into a Do-follow when a person has 3 comments and above. I use linky-love for my do-follow which requires a minimum of three to become a do-follow for your link. What plugin do you use for your do-follow?
I am using one actually named “DoFollow” but I believe its technically sem-DoFollow as a folder name in your plugins folder. You can find more about what software I’m using and why here: http://just-ask-kim.com/social-networking/blogging/dofollow/
I was using Linky-Love until I went fully dofollow with that post. The downside of Lucy’s is that it does not strip the nofollow from the commentluv links. I just rechecked one of Jacquie’s posts on your blog to be sure you were seeing the same situation. This makes you partial-dofollow, since you have one link that eventually can be dofollow and one that never will be.
Lucy’s is a great intermediary option, it helped me keep spam to a sane level for several months but eventually was not able to stop the influx. So far this has been a much more successful stacked combo (see that post).
Kimberly
Great idea here, I will be needing this!
Thanks Chris K , too!
Thanks for the link Kimberly
You are so full of great advice, knowledge and help. Much appreciated.
Belinda
Thanks so much for starting this list. I have loaded and activated the sem-dofollow, keyword luv, comment luv, and top commentators plugins on my wordpress blog. Top commentators is a plug in that rewards frequent commenters with a link on your home page. The whole thing can be set to reset every month.
Although I flat out forgot to use your keywordluv, I stopped by, left a comment and will add you to list if you return. If my memory serves me (it might not!) this is your first visit here. I apologize for not adding you immediately, but I am not running an open directory so much as a list of those who are regulars and working to help each other out here. I’m using this list to encourage the community to work together on this. If you stop back by and chose to hang out with us, I will gladly list you. Even without being listed your link is here in the comment section for others to follow.
You’re off to a good start with that blog. Thanks for the reminder about Top Commentator. I also use that although I only have it displaying on the home page. Its another great dofollow application that is definitely worth mentioning! Hope to see you back soon!
Kimberly
The different comments and relevancy keep the blogs fresh with different ideas. I like the fact that keywordluv is another avenue to bring people to the blogging world.
Great list thanks

Yes Harvey links from DoFollow blogs are approximately 10x better than from a nofollow blog. It means you do less work for more gain.
comment luv is very helpful with fellow bloggers. i just signed in in comment luv try learning how it works
Hi Kim, great blog. Glad I found you. I just wanted to let you know that I recently wrote a blog post about do follow. It explains how to find out if a blog supports do-follow links and how to change your blog if it is not do-follow (if you have a wordpress blog that is). You can find the post here:

My blog is do-follow (of course).

Hey Kim
This is really great. Having a list of DoFollow blogs is really powerful and can really help with the SEO. Also having KeywordLuv rock. That’s why I have added them to my blog as well. Mine is a DoFollow after 3 comments.
I think I’m going to need to start to put together a list of sites myself. Think this is a great idea.

Thanks Kim
You can add my blog to the list as well. My blog has got a banner @ the top that says “NO-FOLLOW FREE and comments are made dofollow after 3 “solid” comments this is so as to discourage spammers

This is a fantastic idea. I am in the process of enabling it and will surely inform you as soon as its done. keep up the good work!

CommentLuv is amazing. I use it on all of my blogs and it really does increase the amount of REAL comments from readers, as there is an incentive for them to post. I like how you can post your name for a link. Thanks for the post.
I love me some KeyWord luv!
How are they 10x stronger than normal Wordpress comments though?
Mike invites you to read…A Life Insurance Exam is Needed to Get Coverage
10x stronger because a DoFollow backlink is worth WAY more SEO value than a nofollow backlink. All wordpress comment links are nofollow by default which does not share the link juice. When we turn off the no-follow (making it DoFollow) the links actually get more SEO points!
Kimberly
Thanks for the list! My blog is also DoFollow.
I’ve been do-follow for some time now. I also installed ComLuv when I entered their contest. So far ComLuv has been a net benefit, but I am still waiting for enough data to develop in order to do a true appraisal of its worth. I’m also doing some investigation into the effects of having so many outgoing links created on a blog on that blogs ranking and if it is costing them “Google juice”. For the time being I’m content to give it a try and am optimistic.

This is valuable information, thanks a million, GREAT BLOG!
This is great. I love to read blogs, so link building isn’t a chore for me. It would be great for everyone if we all used kw luv and do follow. They can be hard to find and a lot of webmasters will delete your comment if you add a kw instead of your name.
I would say that comment luv is the more confusing of the two. Or just that it requires more maintenance.
Hi Kim, I think learning to promote the right way with keywordluv is of utmost importance for anybody who’s just starting out making sites. Without a list of good solid links coming a site’s outlook is bleak at best. Thanks, David

I agree though about “as long as they’re on topic and add to the conversation”, which is something that has to be watched for!

Hi Kim,
Thanks for sharing the list girlfriend! =) Great idea and awesome way for a community to support each other.
I’ve been attempting to switch my site to a dofollow for some time but running into technical issues. My current comment system does not work with dofollow plugins and switching it to the default doesn’t look very appealing.
But I am going to have another go at this tonight, as I see the benefits of it for both the site owner and the commentator.
Thanks again and have a fantastic week!
P.S. Saw you have G.A.S.P installed. ANOTHER reason to switch to the default comment system. It doesn’t work with Disqus either. ;-(

Grant invites you to read…Corporate Photographer
Hi Kimberly, this was very informative and you definitely provided new information for me. I actually almost understand, but since this is new to me, I am still a little unclear. I have a blog and get many comments, which I moderate, and it gets many comments which have a “nofollow” text in them, which I had no idea what it was. Now, I have an idea, though still not sure what to do with those comments. Usually, I just delete them. They don’t really seem to be saying anything and I get a lot of spam to my blog. Any tips you would like to offer or send me somewhere for more information would be much appreciated! Great blog you have! Thanks so much, Andrea
Thanks for the list of dofollow sites. A very important resource. Any help that can be provided in finding sites like these is very much appreciated!
Wayne Baker invites you to read…The Time Is Right For The Kidco BabySteps Electric Food Mill
Heya Kim! Just saw you Tweet this post. I had my site set to DoFollow for a long time and ended up on several do follow lists, probably because I have decent PageRank.
Unfortunately 99.9% of the traffic that came to my site via those lists were spammers so I turned off the DoFollow.
I hate that I ended up doing that. It goes against my grain to penalize good folks because of bad operators. But having seen spam on my site drop from 5K+ a day down to just a few hundred, it makes a big difference.
Chris Cree invites you to read…Zombies Are Invading Sears
Hey Chris, there’s a fairly large community of commentluv + keywordluv + dofollow blogs that have been really working together to network and help each other out. One of the projects that recently came out of that – although mostly created by the need to kick Akismet to the curb till they fix stealth destroying of comments – is the “G.A.S.P.” plugin that you saw on my blog that verifies human behavior. Most of us originally tried to move to captcha but a browser hiccup or browser caching (faster fox addon) makes captcha have issues and a form field the bots have learned to fill in half the time anyways. So far this checkbox is working remarkably well at keeping the bots out of my hair and really keeping spam to a miniumum. Perhaps you could give it a try? You can find more about it here: http://www.growmap.com/growmap-anti-spambot-plugin/ Its in the wordpress repository now and was coded by Andy Bailey, same guy behind commentluv so you know its solid. Keep me posted!
Kimberly
Heya Kim! I saw the check box but didn’t think much of it. I’ll check out the G.A.S.P. plugin and, depending on how things go I may turn on DoFollow again. I’ve been meaning to install CommentLuv for a while now too so finally got around to it. Thanks for mentioning that too.
If you install commentLuv and keywordLuv does your wordpress blog become dofollow by default? Or is there something else I need to do? Thanks Grant
Grant invites you to read…Corporate Art for offices
Hey Grant, no those plugins do not provide dofollow status. There are certainly no-follow, commentluv-enabled, keywordluv-enabled blogs. The third plugin in the stack (or forth if you also grab G.A.S.P. to cut down on spam) is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sem-dofollow/ (actualyl there are many dofollow plugins, this is just the one I use.) Growmaps Anti Spambot Plugin (G.A.S.P) rounds out the set and helps keep the influx of bots to a minimum. Hope that makes sense!
Kimberly
Thanks I knew I was doing something wrong as in my firefox seo it was still showing them as nofollow, will I be able to protect against mass spamming? I have a spam filter on. Grant
Grant invites you to read…Corporate Art for offices
Depends on which spam filter you’re running. It took me about 6 months before the spam was unbearable and was beating up Akismet. Although akismet has known issues at the moment anyways. I tried SI Captcha for a while with good results but captchas don’t always work if a browser has a cache issue… so several in the community recently coded GASP to really cut down on the spam bots. It wont stop human spam but it stops the bots pretty well.
Kimberly
Thanks for the list of dofollow sites
Hi Kim – I haven’t been hanging out here long; this is my first visit. Followed you over from Twitter. I mainly write tutorials and guides on my site. I’m using CommentLuv, KeywordsLuv, Do-Follow, and GASP. I’ve followed you on Twitter (I’m @CoachNotesBlog) so hopefully I’ll be alerted to drop in from time to time to see what you’re up to. Take care!

Suresh Khanal invites you to read…Twitter Strategies That Works- NO Instant Followers Please
Why would you wanna subject your blog to comments that are just made for the purpose of a dofollow link?
dofollow sites generally rank lower and as such links from them have a lower value and in the future I see Google and other engines giving penalties for sites that spawn dofollow spam.
You always have such great information!! Thank you!
I’d like you to add my blog to the list! yay! I’m do follow, comment luv enabled!

Hi I am just wondering what are the best way to get back links to your site that has good link juice.. I know keyword luv and comment luv work but do they really have substantial link juice?
matty invites you to read…Travel Wallets for Women
Good idea. I remember I was having a great discussion with somebody about homeschooling on a different site but that person had no name so I had no idea if they were a male or a female. It made for a strange discussion which was a shame. If that person just had a proper name instead of just a keyword it would have enhanced the discussion.
Hi Kim
I noticed on my last visit you used keywordLuv and I have now added it to my blog as it looks much better with a name instead of just keywords. Grant

Commentluv and Keywordluv are great, probably the best ways to get comments on your blog, and I think outweighs any SEO loss.

Kim, my husband is trying to install keywordluv and he can’t find one. I’m running wordpress 3.1
Do you have any suggestions?
Kim- If you add commentLuv and KeywordLuv to your blog- does that make it dofollow? I understand that a default wordpress blog is nonfollow? If you want to make it do follow how do you do this? Thanks Grant
Grant invites you to read…Creative Photography
Hi Kim,
I also have a similar question mentioned by Grant. If a blog owner has “NoFollow” site, does that mean even he or she has installed either commentLuv or KeywordLuv, would the search engine crawl the keyword as a “DoFollow”? I have a wordpress blog and I want to install both keywordluv and commentluv plug-in, but I would like to know how to make it as a “DoFollow” blog?
Jack (hope that’s your name as I grabbed it from your email… I usually delete comments with no names attached)
Let me see if I can explain this a little better. A WordPress site has nofollow on all comment links automatically (that’s its normal behavior). It REQUIRES a dofollow plugin to make any of those links dofollow (and there are a few dofollow plugins that can not affect the commentluv link). Unless the blog author has installed a dofollow plugin, both the keywordluv link and the commentluv link are nofollow. Use of either of those plugins alone does NOT create a dofollow blog or a dofollow link. Now, a keyworded nofollow link is still worth more than a non-keyworded nofollow link… but we both know that that’s still not but a fraction of what a dofollow link is worth! Also, a dofollow plugin has to be existing when the link is created or the link will be nofollow… so if you come back next week and apply a dofollow plugin and the link was already nofollow it will stay nofollow generally speaking.
I do have to be very careful answering as to how Google will behave however… we can only assume it will do what it is told. However, google has indicated that often times they evaluate the link in relation to a lot of other factors and they chose on their own how they “credit” the link… sometimes they follow a nofollow and some times they ignore a dofollow… neither situation is common but they have told us that much.
To make your blog dofollow you need to add a do-follow plugin. The best one I’ve found, that manages to affect all the things we want it to is http://www.semiologic.com/software/dofollow/ (its in the wordpress plugin search, search for Dofollow and find the one by Semiologic). This plugin has done a great job for me. I did recently uninstall it but only because I put same do-follow code into my theme’s custom-function file as this plugin uses. So I’m essentially running the plugins code but not as a plugin.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Kim for the information. Sorry about not leaving my name in the previous post.
Hey Jack, my pleasure. Keywordluv is enabled here so you can use “Name @ Keywords” … I’ll try to get ahold of your previous comment and put your name in there and your keywords into this one so you get the anchor text you deserve
kimberly
It is really good…i am using keywordluv for my personal blog…..and yeah it does not increase spam. So do not worry about it…..it really helps in a lotta ways!!!
Hi Kim
Do you know what is happening with the CommentLuv site- I have been trying to update my profile for over a month and you keep getting redirected back to a holding page that says the site has over capacity- Grant

Hi Kim. Thanks to my fellow Mompreneur and blogger friend, Heather Stephens of the Clever Marketer, I am now a DoFollow blog. I also have commentluv and keywordluv plugins enabled. I’d love to be added to your list.
Thank you for sharing this list and have a fabulous day!

Thanks for the post and the instructions and for paying the LinkLuv forward. I’ll be trying the other blogs out too.
Keywordluv and Do Follow is a great way to get people to read and contribute to your blog and also means that people can get the backlinks they need for webpages and drive more traffic to their sites too! I think it is important to moderate all comments to stop the spammers ruining it for everyone else! Although I have heard about a plugin called the ‘Anti Spambot plugin’, haven’t used it myself yet though. Thanks!
Hey Bob, The plugin Growmap’s Anti Spambot Plugin is awesome and coded by the same guy that wrote commentluv. Its lean, stable and works well. I kicked akismet to the curb because it has so many bloggers unknowingly blacklisted. Definitely a great plugin. That post is in need of an update which it’s getting soon!
Kimberly
Thanks,Kim.Nice post.I fınd it very useful.God luck!
I guess, commentluv is more seo friendly and more useful to the blogger. Even you can get more comments as the commentor doesn’t have the patience to register and say those few good words to you. It is is easier for him/her just to give his comment right away proving a few of his details. My preference -commentluv
Thanks for the list Kim- I did not know that these links were worth 10 off an standard blog- Great stuff- Keep up the good work – Grant

DoFollow and KeywordLuv blogs are good as long as there is some descent comment moderation on the website.
Hi Kim,
Thanks for the list of CommentLuv Blogs. I have several sites that are running the CommentlLuv and KeywordLuv plugins. I get a lot pleasure approving a quality comment providing a backlink for the commenter. But I hate all the spam that comes and has to be deleted.

Thank you for the listing Kim. They would be of help to me as a blogger and link builder.
I’ve totally enjoyed reading all the comments and responses on this post. Thanks heaps for sharing Kimberly. I’m still quite new to blogging and am enjoying learning new things everyday. I had already install CommentLuv but have now added G.A.S.P and DoFollow plugins and kicked Akismet to the curb as well. It would be fabulous to be added to your list and greatly appreciated as well. Next step for me is to start commenting more on other peoples blogs which I’ve been doing more of but still believe I need to do a lot more of it. Thanks for the great info you share as it truly does help lots of people and sure does help me heaps.

Hey,
It has been a while since I have been here but I am confused. I read some of the comments.
I just checked my blog. there is no nofollow attched to all my comluv links. I thought comluv made them dofollow as well.
What plugin do you recommend to make comments dofollow?
thanks
eric
Will have to change this,

Hey Eric, neither commentluv or keywordluv are inherently DoFollow. They are nofollow tools that many of us like to turn into dofollow tools. You can get the plugin I use here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sem-dofollow/
Kimberly
Thanks!!!
My blog is now do follow
eric invites you to read…Twitter for Real Estate Agents
Thanks for sharing us your list of community dofollow. It help
Hi Kim is this still the best plugin to make my blog nofollow?http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sem-dofollow/ also does this affect in anyway how google ranks my blog? Thanks for all your help – Grant
Grant, SEM’s DoFollow plugin is still the preferred. The plugin itself does not outright affect your ranking… however the fact that all of your comment links created AFTER the plugin is installed become DoFollow means that more linkjuice flows out of your blog and means that yes rankings can be impacted. Usually its manageable but there is a change in link juice (page rank) flow. Its the downside of becoming DoFollow. As I’ve hit Alexa 27k, it’s hard to argue that it’s hurt me. However, the volume of comments at this level necessitate that I will be putting in SEO Super Comments in the near future even though I removed it months and months back because its not appropriate on a smaller blog that’s using DoFollow to get traffic. This is wny most blogs are nofollow, why the dofollow community is special and why I have such a strict comment policy in place!
Kimberly
PS: You need to actually visit the rest of my blog and you’d notice on the home page I have a sticky post where I’m building a new DoFollow list. Lots of great comments in there of recommended blogs. If you’re looking for more dofollow/keywordluv/CL blogs, check that one out. It will eventually be used to re-populate this list, and I will be closing comments here as this post gets me an insane volume of spam.
Hi Kim,
Many thanks for the list, although I have not yet tested them out as I have only just come across your website whilst searching for new links.
Many thanks – J

Hey J, if you will check from the home page there’s another post about DoFollow there (sticky, for a little while longer) that has some more great links in it. I’ll eventually use it to repopulate this older list.
Kimberly
Thanks Kim for this post and to all the people willing to put in the extra work (weeding out the spam) because they believe in keyworluv and commentluv as tools that will really enhance blogging and connecting people while sharing the sacred link juice.
Great list of blogs. They are interesting to read through and I love to make comments.
Just wonder when you say “backlinks from these blogs are approx. 10x stronger than links from standard wordpress blogs” how this is possible? Is this because the Page Rank or something else?
Another quick question, Is commentluv a software for commenting on blogs? and does it work well?

Hi Kimbely,
Thanks for the great list of keywordluv blogs these will come in handy. I love your theme it looks great. Will let a few people know about this who are currently using keywordluv to help build a good sized list.
Seriously, this article ROCKS!! I am really searching and trying to find the best ways to refer my clients to. I have tried ev-er-y-thing under the sun. (I know you’ve heard that one before!) I loathe automation commenting. I think it’s slimy!! I search for GOOD blogs to read, follow and comment on. This is a little bit slower of a process, but it pays off big in the end. I still don’t get why people don’t get that!! Sure, you can use automation to comment on most people’s blogs that are unfamiliar with the “signs” of automation, but those who have quality built blogs will spot it a mile away and delete!!! I would rather spend the time investing into my blog than to automate it.
Plus, I have REALLY found a lot of great people to connect with and establish relationships with. And really, isn’t that worth more??
Thank you for the great post. I love soaking up QUALITY information and you have got a ton of it!! I cannot wait to read more as well
Have a great Friday!!

Your welcome Yeremia, thanks for stopping in!

Hey Andri, commentluv I believe actually works on blogspot. I seem to recall that a little code’ish adjustment could also force a blogspot blog to be dofollow. Its unlikely you will ever see KeywordLuv brought to blogspot as the developer of it no longer even keeps it updated for wordpress though it still works fine. I wish you luck!
Kimberly
as a blogger i prefer to use the commentluv its a good blog post im using ever since…thanks for sharing.

Hey Kim! I really appreciate you sharing the link juice! Many people don’t know how powerful CommentLuv & KeywordLuv can be when it comes to blog commenting.

Hey Luke, there are many great reasons to transition to a WP.org blog and that’s just one! Its very nice to know that you own your data, your backups and your site, and even if there were ever a problem at the hosting level you could just pick up and move. This is part of owning a real business asset unlike depending on another company to not get cranky and turn you off and losing everything. Thanks for taking the time to stop in!
Kim
Awesome blog. The commentluv plugin has been kind to me. I have to admit, that there were not many sites that I left a comment on prior to the plugin. This is the best way now to get backlinks. For a non profit like us, this really helps because we do not have to spend a lot. It takes time to post comments and I don’t have any. Now that we’re rewarded with a link for doing so, it is more than worth it. Thank you for using it.
Great post i like these its so amazing.:)

Hi Kim, can you please clarify my doubt? i am new to social marketing and I got two sites. My question is – can I create a blog of my own in wordpress (with KeywordLuv and commentLuv) and use it to get more back links for my two sites by adding self comments ?
Tracy, what your proposing is not nearly that simple, if it were, everyone would set up 100 blogs and do it themselves. Those are called link farms and link-rings and are a quick way to get highly punished by Google. What you’re delving into is black hat techniques because it is blatant cheating. You can of course use those terms and look further into it but because Google tracks the IP addresses of your sites as well as the number of links between two sites you quickly get into messy water. That’s not to say that your blogs cant interlink OCCASIONALLY where fully appropriate and where correct to do so but that creating link-exchange scenarios between them is dangerous. I hope that makes sense Tracy.
Kim
Thanks Kim, for your link list. I believe that dofollow blog is stronger used to build baclink than nofollow, though now, Google more priority to quality content.

Thanks for this list. I’d love to see it updated although the comment thread here is a pretty good place to start. I’m of course looking specifically for dofollow blogs in the fitness and weight loss niches but as long as I can contribute to a conversation, I’m always happy to participate and get some linkluv in return. I use Comluv w/ dofollow on my blog and am really considering adding keywordluv. I just can’t think of a good reason not to.
If spam gets out of control, then I guess I could just take that as a lesson learned. OK. I’ve talked myself into it. I’ll add Keywordluv today!
