Links from Dofollow sites are Nofollow ?

[sumit4]

Hii i have made few links from dofollow site through blog commenting method and when i checked my site on Open Site Explorer  it shows Nofollow .

So my question is links from Dofollow blogs will be nofollow ?

There is any benefit of getting links from dofollow site through comments ?

Thanks

The shortest and the most honest answer to your questions that you are getting it all wrong. You are using blog comments to build links? Bad idea!

Blog Comments is a great way to build connections and relationships that later can convert in to quality links but building links using blog comments (dofollow or not) is a bad idea all together.

Hope this helps!

Hi Sumit,

I am completely agree with Moosa. I would like to add one Matt cutts video link on exactly the same issue.

Hey Moosa thanks for your reply.

Actually my main question is why links from dofollow blogs showing  Nofollow in Open Site Explorer ?

And yes i am totally agree with you that blog comments are for building connections not for building links .

Thanks

I think you can also take a look at this WBF... (comment marketing as inbound tactic)
Moosa Hemani is right
A friend came up with the same question, maybe the dofollow blog has an "nofollow" Meta Tag? His "dofollow" Blog had a index, nofollow robots-meta-tag.
I wouldn't comment for dofollow Links...

First of all, I agree with everyone else but let me answer the question you asked.

Dofollow blogs often set themselves as dofollow to get links from being listed on dofollow blog lists, like the one you must've found. Once they get listed, they change back to nofollow so they don't leak their juice.

So after they were added to the list they simply changed their blog back. That would be my guess (without looking at the actual link.)

And no, there's no real benefit to doing blog comments simply for the sake of SEO. There are LOTS of reasons to leave comments though, so just do it naturally.
