What is No follow and Do follow comment policy

I had received one e-mail from my friend asking me to explain “You comment I follow” phenomenon. Okay, all right, you notice such widgets on many sites, I believe most of you understand what that mean but for beginner bloggers let me explain this, but before that let me give details of these two things once again.

[A] Your comments on a site provide a link back

When you post a comment on any website you been asked for three things to fill in comment form i.e. your name, your e-mail address and your site URL, now this Site URL which you fill in the comment form works as back link from that site to your site.

[B] PageRank

Your website PageRank measures on how much back link you received from other websites and most importantly what is the PageRank of a website from where you receive a reference or a back link. That mean links you receive from High PageRank Website ultimately increases your PageRank. For more information of PageRank read this post.

Now I can explain no follow and do follow policy

[1] “No Follow” Policy

Bloggers spend big money to receive a link from high PageRank websites. Links from these sites are valuable and increases your PageRank. These sites charges huge money to provide you link in form of your blog review and other resources. These sites can not allow you to simply make a comment on their sites and get a free back link. To stop you from getting easy back links from comments you made on these high PageRank sites they installs a special “no follow” plugin. By activating this plugin comments on these sites do provide a back link to your site but not indexed by google at all. Google do not follow it as a link to your site, which means it will not affect your PageRank in any way. (THAT’S SOO BAD)

[2] “Do follow” Policy

In “Do Follow” or “you comment I follow” policy you receive back link from websites who adopt this policy by simply making a comment on these sites and which is off course indexed and followed by Google for measuring your website PageRank. Link from comments you made on these sites considered as good as these websites has provided you a link back. (THAT’S SOO GOOD)

Why people comments on sites who adopts “No Follow” Policy?

Now simply a question raises in your mind that why people comments on these sites when they are not providing any link which is not followed by google for indexing. Well as I said these are High Page Rank Sites. These sites at least provide you lots of visitor who click your links on comments and land on your site.

Can I earn a free back link from these High PR sites?

To encourage comments on their sites they have adopted this very smart way, you can earn a back link from these high PR sites which will be as good as any other paid link provided that you are in their TOP COMMENTATOR list. So if you want a free back link from John Chow or Shoemoney then comment more and more on their sites and get include your link in their TOP COMMENTATOR list.

   Most people also get paid for posting reviews. I guess its all about experimenting.

   Thanks Shanker, this gives me even more understanding of no follow, do follow. Also I did a check on my page rank somewhere googlin and read that you can have “too many” links on your front page, that, that could effect your rank too.
   Something also about supplemental rank, which isn’t good enough to be counted in their formula.
