NoFollow No More.
Over at Julie’s Journal, she has joined the D List movement. It’s a complete list of all the blogs that use the dofollow plugin.
Wordpress, by default, has automatically been adding the “nofollow” extension to all links from comments and trackbacks. This is done to combat spammers. As I do choose to moderate all my comments at this time in conjunction with running the Akismet plugin, I want to give out as much link love as possible. Join the list and pass the love around!
***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!

Sorry I didn’t even see your link through to me. That is one of the problems with memes. If it doesn’t link through to content, there are no trackbacks, and I have so much junk appearing in Technorati there is no way of knowing if that was a new link, or something posted a month ago.
In fact I have so much I didn’t even see your link, is Technorati picking up your feeds?
Another big problem is that this is only the tip of the iceburg - the links aren’t relevant.
There might be 50,000 or more blogs using dofollow, and many have been using it for 2 years.
Lists of people is never going to build a community. It is not scalable.

I guess the links can never be relevant unless someone is collecting a array of pages
1. writing on a particular topic
2. with no follow not there
Then the list will be too short. does not make sense..

The whole Do Follow movement is a great idea and have considered it myself. BUT the thing is once you enable the dofollow on a blog you will get bombarded with massive amounts of spam comments that promote all sorts of irrelevant post about poker, casinos, pills, and insurance. It’s sad how fast they can find you and pile up large amounts of comments. Google needs to come up with a new way to allow people give credit to the post that are relevant without hindering everyone.
