Advantage and Disadvantage of dofollow , nofollow blog


        First of all what exactly is meant by do-follow is the biggest question many netizens still dont know and still some are not interested in knowing LOL but this is one of the most important question for newbie bloggers .

Whether a blog should be dofollow or nofollow ?


 Most of the top bloggers have a no-follow blog and will suggest to leave nofollow attribute on your blog and some  [ like me ] will suggest to add dofollow attrible to your blog.
Both of the attributes have there own advantages and disadvantages. 

Below are some of the advantages and disadvantages of dofollow and nofollow blogs i think that would surely be useful for bloggers out there but even if you think that you should swap your attribute , then no problem you can again go reversible , its just 10 sec work

                    Almost blog software comes with rel="nofollow" attribute on any hyperlink on their comment system. This code will tell google ,yahoo , bing and other search engines to ignore hyperlink on the comment system. It means if you put url when you submit comment to these kinda blogs , google etc will not count this as backlink. This method is used by google etc to stop spam on comments in order they can't get backlink by commenting . But some bloggers have modified their blog to remove nofollow on their blog comment. It means if you put url when you give comment, google will count your url as backlink. Its then called as do - follow blog.
