I Follow the Following Followup to the IFollow Movement
April 15, 2007 | Comments (10) | Filed under: Traffic
I know this past week I kind of beat everyone over the head with a sledgehammer concerning my 2 posts about removing the nofollow attribute on my site and the IFollow movement, but I really do feel it’s a great idea and the more awareness to it we bring the better off everyone will be. If you missed it, there is a great start of a discussion in my first post on the subject of whether or not advertising the fact that you removed nofollow, will encourage spammers to hit you even harder.
Randa of Randa Clay Design recently tagged Bookmark Bliss to participate in the I Follow D-List. I promise this will be my last post on the issue, at least until I recap the the changes it has made, but I thought this was a great way to continue to grow awareness and spread the link-love at the same time.
Here are the rules of the D-List:
***Begin to copy here***
1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back.
2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword.
3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals” list.
4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW us using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the “My Adds” section. (Add no more than 5!) Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!
5. Leave relevant comments on the blogs listed and get a link back to your site thanks to Do Follow!

Thanks for the tag Chris and adding me to the list. I’ve posted the list as well and put you and another new WP blogger that I had the honor of getting started in her own WP install under My Adds. I hope that was the proper way of doing things. Although not new to blogging, I’m still fairly new to the community thing, memes and all that. I’m also old(er).
I’ve tagged you too here:

Thanks for keeping the list going!
No problem. It’s a great cause and it’s nice that someone has stepped up and put together something organized to help spread the word. Hopefully it really takes off and makes the rounds for months to come…
how will i know someone is using do follow… or if i dont find anyone who is using it..
it will not conatain rel=”nofollow” in source that means its dofollow.
