I recommend any blog and especially any DoFollow blog to clearly define their rules and expectations for acceptable comments. Failure to set rules leaves you partially to blame when spam starts appearing on your blog. This is starting here so it’s time to set expectations.
My Rules:
- Comments must be of value and add to the current post.
- Do not add links within the comment. You already get a link from your name – Don’t get greedy.
- No misspelled words or 3rd grade English. I appreciate that English is not everyone’s first language but sentence fragments without punctuation is more likely spam.
- Do not post your dofollow blog for submission within a comment. Submit them here.
So this is my quick short list which will change as needed. I also suggest showing your rules clearly. For example, I added these rules to appear directly the new comment section.

The backlinks you gain from Dofollow blogs should be one of several backlinking strategies. To ensure you gain the backlink you seek and don’t just get deleted as a spammer – I suggest you take this simple test before you submit each comment.
1. Is your comment on topic?
Nothing annoys a blog owner more than a comment that pushes their own agenda while completely ignoring the original topic. If a post is about I-phones than don’t make a cookie cutter post about mortgage rates.
2. Do you add something useful to the conversation?
Do NOT post “thanks”, “good post”, or “Interesting”. In addition, do more than just restate what has already been said. If you are truly commenting on an area of interest you should have something meaningful to add. Comments that add to the conversation are not only likely to be approved but also will create additional traffic from future readers clicking through to your site wanting to see what else you have to say.
3. Are you using a friendly and polite tone?
If you disagree with a post you must be very diplomatic. Remember you are on their turf. It’s their house. However, if you have a valid counter-point must good bloggers actually want debate. I suggest you stick to the facts, leave emotions out of your argument, and never post anything that you wouldn’t tell the person to their face.
4. Would you want someone leaving this comment on your blog?
This is a good final “red face” test. If you would delete the comment if it came on your blog than don’t leave it on someone elses.
By asking yourself these questions each time you will almost always get your backlink and you will have also added value to someone’s blog. Remember the Dofollow movement is a two way street. If you only take and don’t give then the movement will die.

I’ve put my Dofollow search engine up tonight. I’ve taken a great deal of time to screen hundreds of blogs to ensure everyone gets useful Dofollow results. I look forward to everyone’s feedback.
