The I follow movement

I guess I should have recognized it sooner…. after all, Word Press is GREAT about letting you know what’s going on when it comes to inbound links to your blog.  Here I was out laying "bread crumb trails" by commenting on other blogs and few if any of those comments were resulting in inbound links. 

Then I stumbled upon the I Follow Movement.  DUH! So that’s what the Do Follow Plug in with Semilogic is all about! 
Thanks to Randa Clay, there’s even a logo for the movement!  THANKS!

If you’re using a Word Press Blog, then simply installing the Do Follow plug in will open your blog up so that people who comment will be rewarded with an inbound link from your blog. If you’re using a Blogger blog, then here is the tutorial for removing the no follow in your blogger blog.

Understand, if you don’t already, that inbound links are what makes the internet world go round.  More inbound links means a higher page rank and therefore, higher SERPs (Search Engine Ranking Position) for your posts.

Instead of relying on the kindness of strangers…. who will exercise proper blogging etiquette by reciprocating useful links, now you can create your own.

Since listing another site as a "Do Follow" blog, I’m finding that people are finally commenting on my blog!

So, if you’ve noticed that it looks like no one is reading your blog because no one is commenting…. get into the I Follow movement.

If you comment, I follow.  However, I don’t approve spammy comments.  Hey,  a girl has GOT to have her standards!  <grin>
