DoFollow 001Letting the link love flow

I'm pretty busy at the moment on other projects so I'm not sure when I'll have time to post again.

However, as like last month, here are my recommendations for decent new directories that have been posted up on Digital Point.

Widely used and known about in professional SEO circles, Majestic SEO is perhaps not such a familiar tool amongst happy SEO amateurs.

But if you really want to get under the bonnet of your own backlinks then Majestic is the service you should sign up for.

Alexa website data is, as we all know, golden poo for web data statistic hunters.

In the words of Rand Fishkin from SEOmoz: "Alexa data is slightly better than random guessing".

Alexa is part of the giant online retailer Amazon and their web data is collated through their toolbar.

Here is the third part of this popular series.

As before they are presented in no particular order. You'll find some big beasts rubbing shoulders with some new kids on the block - the stats let you decide which one to submit to.

Last Thursday the British national newspaper The Guardian published an item entitled Are comment links just a form of spam?.

After the phenomenal popularity of the first part of the list, here is part two!

All these blog directories are free to submit to but a few require a reciprocal link.

As before they are presented in no particular order.

Previously I wrote about the poor state of directories swooshing around Digital Point.

I made reference to them linking out to bad neighbourhoods which perhaps isn't the correct term as technically that means sites that host malware.

Perhaps accusing them of gratuitously linking out to spam neighbourhoods would be a better description.

Christian Hollingsworth, a.k.a Smart Boy, has launched a new directory for "dofollow" blogs, YouDoFollow.com.

It is free to submit to and no reciprocal link is required.

So get in there!!

With over 270,000 members MyBlogLog, owned by Yahoo, is one the most active blogging hubs on the net.

And now it has it's own Dofollow community page here set up by Monsieur AndyW.

So join up today!

There are a number of directories in existence that cater exclusively for blogs. The list below details 20 of these directories.

All the sites included in this list, bar one, have high editorial standards - just because they don't have public submission guidelines doesn't mean they accept anything.

If you have a MFA (Made for Adsense) blog or a new blog with just one or two posts then you are wasting your time submitting to them.
