What are Do Follow Backlinks?

Do Follow backlinks can be one of your best friends in niche marketing.  Why?  Because they can raise the rankings of your site’s pages in the search engines, bringing you targetted organic traffic at zero cost per click.

One of the biggest challenges in niche marketing is getting targeted traffic to your site.  Your site can be beautiful and your offers enticing, but if no eyes ever fall on them, then you will not make any money.  Therefore, it’s advantageous to you to have your site ranking high and pulling targeted eyeballs!  It translates directly into cash in your pocket.

So, how do you accomplish that?  Keep in mind, this isn’t going to be an advanced search engine optimization tutorial, but rather a basic breakdown of the broad principals of SEO.  The search engines look at two main factors when deciding where your page should rank in the results for a term.  One is how relevant the content is.  Therefore, you should use the phrase you are looking to rank for in the title, in the first sentence of your content, and the somewhere in the last paragraph.  It’s not very scientific, but for long-tail keywords, it will do the job.

The second thing the search engines judge, and this is where the do follow backlinks come in, is the popularity of the page in the larger internet community.   Google looks at each link toward the page as a “vote” for that page.  However, it’s not a democracy – each vote is not counted equally.  No, they are weighted according to several factors.  The first is whether or not the link employs the No Follow Attribute.  What this means is the link is constructed in such a way as to instruct the search engine algorithm not to follow it for purposes of passing Page Rank or popularity.  The goal is to get links to your page that DO NOT employ the No Follow Attribute – AKA, Do Follow Backlinks.  And the higher the page rank of the source of those links are, the better – both the main rank of the site and the internal link of the page itself help.

    What about sideways links? Those are the best links to get.

    Nice, to the point post on do follow links
    I think though that there is a lot to be said for live links with no follow attribute on them. I suppose the do follow have some importance in SEO and we all know search engine traffic is the main goal of most niche marketing sites

    All the best with your WSO

    Hey Melanie,
    One of the links in WSO post took me to your
    site and I bought your Tweeder package… I
    already have a couple of Twitter related PDFs
    but you gave your Tweeder a different slant that piqued my interest… like being able to benefit from Twitter without spamming.

    I’ll be getting into it this evening and I might let you know what I think about it…

    Fran :)
    know what I thin

    Great article but you didn’t mention I don’t think, unless I missed it, how do you know or find if a place has the DoFollow turned on and the nofollow turned off?
    thanks…
