I usually track my competitor site by Yahoo.com and then after find where they get backlink I use “Parameter” (software) to trackdown the highest PR on that blog.

Even though I didn’t intend it at the time I wrote it the other day, I figured someone really DID need to put together a good directory for do-follow blogs. I’m not interested in dumping on the efforts of others, but from what I’ve seen, the directories and the hundreds of do-follow blog lists out there seem to fall rather quickly into disrepair. When I visit the sites on the sites, many of them are no longer do-follow (I suspect many of them never were) and a surprising number of the blogs don’t even exist anymore. So…we’ll see if I can do better. I launched this site over the weekend, have added a number of blogs already (including this one), and have hired someone to add additional entries on a daily basis. Anyone who has a do-follow blog is welcome to submit their blog for a free listing as well:

[...] vs. Top Commentators List I cringed when I read Eric Gugliere’s recent post on how to build high PR back links to your site, one of the steps being that you find a DoFollow site and commenting on them. It reminded me of the [...]

Good idea. Initially, the idea was just to list ones that I owned or had built. But it makes sense to link to some do-follow friends there as well.

Chuck, great initiative on your part. But how come this blog isn’t on your list?

Of course, it doesn’t look like anything will help this blog get better rankings. Using my new tool, I just checked memwg.com’s ranking for “AdSense”: #749 out of 750 results. Oops. Looks like I’m being penalized for something. Wonder what I did and if they’ll ever tell me how to fix it…

Hi,

I’ve been using Adsense for some time and without much success.
Even if I’m having two campaingns (did I write this correctly ?) to gain subscribers for my blog, thus trying to build a stable community of readers, which I think is quite important.
I’ll check that directory that you mention.
I guess that being art related means that a blog won’t get that many visits, but on the other hand, the competition isn’t so fierce.

Best regards,

JosÃ©

After posting the comment above, I got to thinking some more… and took a few minutes to throw together this page of do-follow blogs that I am involved with to some degree or another:

Good stuff, Eric. I’ve been using SEO for Firefox for the past couple months and, while I don’t use most of the info it provides, there are a few elements that I find very helpful (especially the Yahoo backlinks displayed underneath the Google search results).

I’m not as impressed with the Do Follow Blogs directory. From what I’ve seen, they lack the initiative to keep it updated. I still think there’s room for a good resource along these lines. Bumpzee’s No NoFollow community is a little unwieldy and lacks categorization…plus, it seems that a number of the blogs listed are not DoFollow anymore. Courtney Tuttle’s D-List is pretty good…but, again, I don’t think he updates it that often. It would be nice if there was a great niche directory that was well-maintained…and if there was a scripted way of monitoring that the links (or at least some of them) were, in fact, do follow…in order for them to stay in the directory. That may be too hard to accomplish. I’m not a programmer, so I don’t have a clue about it.

But the thing I find so disappointing is that so many people take the easy way out. Seems like everyone is looking for automated solutions to every problem. So few are willing to sit and invest a little time to take advantage of a good free opportunity like this.

It’s disappointing because, for the most part, the alternative is spammy solutions…mass directory submissions, mass article submissions (submit to 2000 directories instantly for just $12.99!!!!!). And, in the meantime, good sites that could benefit from an intelligent comment or two and who are willing to share some link juice in exchange for the contribution are lacking.

Thansk Eric, it’s my pleasure and the way I see your blog is that it’s a place where there is no misinformation…. of the sort that’s prevalent in seo these days.

I’m sure you’ll always keep the info relevent,clear and effective…just like it is now.
