Thanks for your post, it helped me knowing much more about link building, and why it’s important for a website/blog 🙂 thanks so much.

I’ve just started building backlinks to my blog, and what I’m most curious about is the dofollow vs nofollow debate. Does it really matter whether the backlinks to your site are dofollow or not? I’ve noticed that when I do a backlink search on Yahoo, I only see the ‘dofollow’ links, but can nofollow links still count towards your search engine rankings?

This is a great article and I do implement some, but I need to work on more. I let my blog sit for a few months, and I’m finding it harder to build my site back up. It will get done with a little marketing daily. Thanks for all the great tips.

Thanks for the good tips. I’m still learning and have always thought that do-follow were vital. However, it makes sense that your building links for exposure and relevance….Thanks

Great information, I have wondered about outsourcing link building because I absolutley loathe it. Awesome stuff.

In reply to Deb. Remember "link building" is nothing more than marketing your website. :) Try not to over think it too much. Just do one thing every day to get your website in front of new people and you'll be doing great!

Ditto Susanne again. 🙂

You won’t want to do only ONE method of link-building, because we don’t want to ever rely upon one method of marketing.

BUT choosing a few that you enjoy doing, will help you to stick with your plan. I always teach to “Do what you’ll do” – so pick a handful of methods that you enjoy and do them consistently for best results.

Hope that helps!

In reply to Laurie Kristensen.

Hi Laurie!

I agree with Susanne. (Surprise, right?)

I honestly don’t sweat it over “do follow” vs. “no follow” links. My main goal is to get exposure on relevant sites that, hopefully, are already reaching my target audience.

For instance, if I was getting links for my “mom recipe” site (which I’m in a number of other niches and that’s one of them) – I’d look for sites that reach people interested in cooking or mom sites.

Like Susanne, I don’t pay for links. If I did, I may feel differently. I wouldn’t mind if a few of those were “no follow” but nearly all of them? Unless they stated that up front, I’d communicate your displeasure with the company that placed the links and see if they make it right.

Hope that helps!
