DOFOLLOW Blog Link SEO Test
Blog comment spamming caused the introduction of the REL=NOFOLLOW attribute for the A or Anchor link HTML element. It is now widely accepted that most blog comment links are worthless due to having the NOFOLLOW attribute.
However, there are still some blogs that don't have the NOFOLLOW attribute. We can call these DOFOLLOW links and The SEO Files has set up a DOFOLLOW Blog Link SEO Test to find out just how much of an impact that these DOFOLLOW links from blog comments really have.
The idea for this DOFOLLOW Blog Link SEO Test came up because of a thread on SEO Chat about DOFOLLOW BLOG LINKS.
The Test
The keyword for this test is Bedford Search Engine Marketing.
There are virtually no searches for this keyword. There is some advertiser competitoin and some local results show up in Google. If you do the same search again but with quotes "bedford search engine marketing" you will see there is very little competition.
This test was started on June 28th 2008. Search engine algorithms and technology change rapidly so what works today might not work in the future.
