Content may be the king, but links are the currency of the web. Over the years, I’ve made some good money by building up links to my websites. The easiest way to do this was with blog commenting. Blogs are naturally content rich and google loves content rich sites, especially ones with continually fresh updates. Following this strategy easily put my sites on the top of the SERPs. When google brought in the nofollow tag, my blog commenting strategy had to be tuned to only comment on those blogs that did not use this tag. This is about the time when I thought it would be neat to have a dedicated dofollow search engine. DoFollow blogs are rare (in comparison with the billions are total blogs in the bloggersphere) but they exist.
What is the dofollow search engine?
Basically, it is just like any other search engine except it only brings back results from a special index of sites I’ve deemed as dofollow. Using the search engine saves time by only bringing back blogs posts related to your specialty. So say you have a site about iPhone apps, you can do a search on ‘iPhone’ and read up on what other bloggers are saying. This will mean that you will have more to comment on since it is an area you know well and it will also add relevancy to your links as the content of the post will be related to your site’s niche.
My comment policy
People naturally think that I’m a comment spammer. Whilst I may have strayed from time to time, I try to add value to the post by voicing my opinion. If I do not have anything of value to say, I simply move on to the next article or blog. This is also what I encourage other people to do. Comment spamming will only push bloggers to rethink their dofollow policy. If you are able to add useful comments though, you will not only be rewarded with some link juice, you will have helped out a fellow webpreneur feel good about themselves – well I certainly do when I receive a comment
Why do people have a dofollow blog
Having a dofollow blog can be a good strategy for fresh blogs. I for one, only have dofollow blogs on my rss. Unless you’re techcrunch or gizmodo, I don’t bother keeping up to date with your blog unless you give me some link juice for my time

Your search engine is crap. It’s littered with nofollow blogs!
Unfortunately, there are bloggers out there who opt out of the dofollow program and change their blog back to nofollow. Checking blogs is currently a labourious manual task and I have no doubt that their are blogs in my list need to be weeded out. Please take a moment of your time to help out and contact me about these nofollow blogs that should be removed from the index.
I have a dofollow blog, can you add me in?
Sure thing! Just use my contact me page and buzz me with your sites details and I’ll drop by to verify your blog before I update my index.
Okay, enough argy bargy, where is your search engine?
I’ve made a special page to house the search engine. It is powered by google and only brings back blogs from my specifically constructed dofollow blog index
You are so right about finding do follow blog sites. It is time consuming. Thanks for making it easier for me to save some time!
Commenting should not be a laborious procedure. No one force us to comment a blog. We do it because we like it, we do it because we want to give a positive feedback to a well written article. Having a dofollow backlink working as a small reward is always good but will also lure spammers, linking maniacs and online marketers. If all these cause enough trouble to webmasters a dofollow -> nofollow conversion is near

Looks good. I have added your dofollow search engine to my list of dofollow blog directories. I am encouraged by the dofollow blog movement.
Hello Jyse.com…Really, inasmuch as I’d like to tap into this lovely “link” juice from your site, I’d like to say a very BiG thank you for the Do-Follow search engine…It really makes things lot more easier these days…thanks again
This is a great idea and I wish you the very best of luck. I can’t tell you the amount of hours that I’ve spent trying to find dofollow blogs to comment on.
Best of luck!
Of course I your search engine a month after it’s decommissioned. I was excited. Every other one I find 95% are nofollow. Do you know any other good ones?

I use dofollow blogs ,toplists, some sites , but my pagerank was down in last 3 months.
Sometimes I think, perhaps google change to pageranks system?
