The impact of nofollow tags in comments on blog promotion
Some time ago, I published an article about the next step of blog construction (welcome to my blog to read). In the article, I explained that according to my plan, the independent blogs on Lu Songsong's blog were classified according to local areas and divided into several groups. I make a plan every day to increase the number of external links in my blog comments. I insisted on following the plan for a while, but found that the results were very little. I didn't pay much attention to it. When I searched for my own backlinks, I found that many websites with high PRs that I had left messages on did not have my links, but on the contrary, the PRs were not that big. Some websites with high rankings are included.
I have never thought about this problem carefully. When I inquired again today, I suddenly thought that nofollow should be the reason. After thinking about it, I immediately went to Lu Songsong’s blog and checked several other famous blogs. Sure enough, although there are links to your blog in their comments, they have been added with the nofollow tag, so search engines will not crawl them.
Therefore, I would like to share with you this time. When leaving a message on an independent blog, if you are doing it for the purpose of promotion and leaving a link, then you’d better check whether the website has added the nofollow tag to the link in the message. If so, If you have nofollow, don’t bother trying to add external links by leaving comments on the website. It’s all in vain!
Some knowledge about adding nofollow in comments
This also triggered my thoughts on adding nofollow to comments:
1. For blog promoters
Adding nofollow in a message is undoubtedly a nightmare for friends who promote their own blogs, because your hard work for a long time will not have any effect.
2. For bloggers who join nofollow, it actually means a lot.
The NoFollow attribute is the first attribute introduced by Google. Recently, Baidu has also explained whether it supports NoFollow and also emphasized that it supports the nofollow attribute. What is the biggest benefit to bloggers when using the nofollow attribute in blog comments?
1. When reviewing messages, you only need to review whether the message itself is relevant to the article.
2. You don’t need to pay too much attention to the links in the message.
Under the protection of "nofollow", we don't have to worry about inappropriate links, irrelevant links or even 404 dead links, and we don't have to worry about causing harm to our blog.
But if there is no "nofollow", bloggers may need to invest more energy in link management. If you want your blog to not be harmed, you should at least avoid the following links:
Links to inappropriate websites such as pornography and gambling websites;
Links that are determined to be link factories by search engines;
404 Bad Link
These are all headaches. The Internet's "anti-illegal activities and anti-pornography" campaign some time ago caused a storm for all webmasters in China, so these all require our attention.
There is no problem with the link when many comments are posted, but how to ensure that the link will still be valid in the future? Is it necessary to check the number of dead links on the website regularly every week or at least every month? After all, a large number of 404 links on the website is a taboo for SEO , the emergence of nofollow also solves these problems.
In response to the above point of view, I personally think that if your blog does not have such a large number of comments, you do not need to add nofollow. What if your website diverts a little PR? The Internet originally advocates sharing!
But if the blog has a very large volume of comments, then adding nofollow is a very ideal choice to avoid worrying about countless links!
3. Target visitors who don’t come for external links
Whether a blogger adds nofollow or not has no impact on you. Lu Songsong’s blog has the option to add his own URL when leaving comments, but if nofollow is added, Moonlight Blog cannot directly add his own URL, and there is no way to talk about it. nofollow. Regarding these two approaches, I personally think that Lu Songsong’s approach is better. For visitors, visitors have links to link to the website where the link is left, but at the same time, the nofollow tag is added so that search engines will not crawl it and will not cause weight loss. dispersion.
