Here’s a simple opportunity for your blog to be listed in my most popular list of blogs using CommentLuv. That post has got PageRank 2 and I believe, that it will be increased after the next Google PageRank update.

Anyways, all you need to do is to suggest it in the comments below.

What Blogs Do I Accept?

It may be absolutely any kind of a blog. It doesn’t matter whether it’s yours or your friend’s. The only requirement is installed CommentLuv WP plugin.

Why Do I Need At Least 15 Blogs Using CommentLuv?

As you’ve, probably, noticed, my list of CommentLuv blogs is called «Insane List of 140 … Blogs…». The problem is that there are only 125 blogs left, all the rest listings have whether uninstalled CommentLuv or those blogs don’t exist anymore.

Thus, I need at least 15 suggestions. There might be more, but I don’t guarantee, that they will be listed this time. 140 means 140 :)

DoFollow or NoFollow

There’s one more thing you should know. If your suggested blog has PageRank of 3 or less, I will add nofollow attribute to that listing. If it’s 4 or higher, its link will be nofollow free.

I’m doing so only because it is about quality of outgoing links.

Besides, if your blog has PageRank of 0-3 by now and after the next PageRank update it becomes 4 or higher, I will remove the nofollow attribute.

It’s fair enough, right?

PS. Don’t forget to check the list. Your blog might be already listed there.

Video Dessert: «Cat Shower: Woody Style, Very Funny & Cute»

This cat is one creative super-cat, which isn’t afraid of water.

By this moment you have my 34 ex-bookmarks directly from Google Chrome bookmarking panel. And now let me show you 28 bookmarks more. This is the 2nd part of my ex-bookmarks for beginning bloggers and for beginning webmasters.

Note: 3 of them are in russian. You can use Google translate service or install Google toolbar, which has its own high-speed built-in translator.

4 Blogging Resources for Your WordPress Blog

1. CommentLuv is a plugin for WordPress blogs.

   If you want to recieve more comments, you better start using it today. And, if you have a PageRank of 1-2 or more, your blog most likely will be soon listed in someone’s list of blogs with CommentLuv, which automatically guarantees, that you’ll start getting more and more new visitors and comments. That is why I had it in my bookmarks.

2. WP plugin Subscribe to Comments is another must-have plugin for WordPress blogs.

   This plugin enables your commenters to sign up for e-mail notification of subsequent entries. It includes a full-featured subscription manager that your commenters can use to unsubscribe to certain posts, block all notifications, or even change their notification e-mail address.

   You can even integrate your blog design to the subscription manager, which I still have not done. My bad :)

3. “Previous” and “Next” Post Links code for your WordPress blog.

   This is a tutorial by DragonBlogger. I’ve bookmarked it lately and will follow it soon. Meanwhile, you can include it to your collection of blogging resources. You have one, right?

   This feature helps to reduce your bounce rate, which in turn improves your website or blog’s SERP.

4. Template Tags from WP Codex is a list of the general user tags available in WordPress, sorted by function-specific category.

   If you understand PHP and HTML at least a little, you can customize your blog as you wish using template tags.

   I have bookmarked this resource, because I needed it to fully change the structure of my blog theme.

7 Online Income Resources for Beginning Bloggers and Webmasters

1. Chitika Premium – For advertisers and media buyers, Chitika is a proven channel for targeting on-line consumers and qualified buyers. For all publishers, Chitika is an easy-to-use platform for earning daily ad revenue. And it can be used along with AdSense.

   They have got 3 different types of ads for publishers: in-text-ads (like Kontera and Adgitize), WhitespaceAds that appear only when whitespace is available on higher resolution monitors and integrated Chitika eMiniMalls – ads pay on a per click basis. The value of the clicks depends upon the product being featured.

   One of the most popular benefits of Chitika is that ads appear only for your traffic that comes from search engines, which means that your daily readers will never see any ad, unless they would try to come on your site through some search engine. Chitika also pays only for US and Canada traffic, though there is also an option to monetize international and non search traffic.

   This is another must-have blogging resource for your collection of useful bookmarks.

2. Sponsored Tweets is a new Twitter advertising platform that connects advertisers with tweeters.

   In order to make money with this platform, you have to have a lot of real followers, not bots nor internet marketing scams.

3. Ad.ly allows you also to make money and to advertise on Twitter.

   I have registered my account there a month ago or so. No results. So, I can’t say anything about how they pay and whether it is worthy or not. But I am still keeping it in my bookmarks for future.

4. Bunch of Good Affiliate Banners by Brian from BlogEngage. The list itself is great and you can save a lot of time, because if you are looking for banners to decorate your website or blog’s sidebar, then follow the link and enjoy the wide choice of banners.

5. Make Money Online Blogging by Seth from Blogussion.

   Seth introduces us to 30 ways of making money blogging. What made me bookmark this article is that the ways were categorized by 3 different blogging levels: for beginning bloggers, for beginning novices and for professional bloggers. And every way is clearly explained.

6. 15 Link Building Tips by Dosh dosh. I have bookmarked this post, because I was new to link building methods.

7. AffiliateTips is a website that provides you with a complete guide on how to make money online with the best affiliate programs. Here you will find extensive website and blogging resources on affiliate marketing.

   I have found this resource lately in Alexa’s top. Looks cool, huh? Let’s say.. I find affiliate programs working much more better comparing with annoying ads all over the blog. With this website you can find highly targeted affiliate offers for your blog’s niche in minutes. All you need is to have a ClickBank ID (or “account name” in other words).

10 Superb Lists for Blogging Improvement

1. Several High PR Forums to Boost Traffic – this is one of my oldest dusty bookmarks. You can still find there several useful forums to get traffic.

2. 100 Ping Services for WordPress Blog – simple and clear, though in russian (I have mentioned in the beginning of this post how to translate russian blogs into english).

   You can add all of those ping services to your WordPress blog through your admin panel. Find “Settings”, then navigate to “Writing”, from there find the title “Update Services”.

   Some of the listed ping services may not work. So, it is best for you to install WordPress plugin – MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer. The plugin corrects WordPress’s pinging system and solves many other problems. You are also able to see, which ping services work and which not.

3. Blog with Tons of Lists of Dofollow Blogs – this is one of those blogs with very narrow niche created to beat some certain Google real-time search result. In this case, author is trying to be on the first page of Google results with the keyword phrase “more dofollow blogs” or maybe “dofollow blogs”.

   Anyways, the provided information on dofollow blogs is fantastic and frequently updated. If you are looking for dofollow blogs with your niche – start right from moredofollowblogs.blogspot.com .

4. 100 Dofollow Forums to Increase Backlinks – uncategorized, without pageranks list of dofollow forums. I have bookmarked it to make a worthy list with more details in future.

   But you can already use that list :)

5. Top SEO Blogs of 2009 – very strong list. 207 retweets and it means, that you are dealing with a worthy compilation of SEO blogs. Take several hours to read them, if you are not sure about your search engine omptimization methods.

6. Top 15 URL Shortening Services – fresh article by Siddartha from Gadget Cage. You can find for yourself almost any type of URL shortening service from this list. But use them wisely, URL shorteners can damage your SEO in the long haul.

7. Dofollow Forums – the categorized list by niche. Seems like the author updates it regularly, so it means, that the list is great. I have followed some of the links just to test them and make sure the author was doing his job right. No mistakes found, so you can freely treat it like the best blogging resource to get backlinks from forums.

8. 538 Twitter Users that Blog by ProBlogger. This one is an old list, but I bet, that Twitter users, who still exist in that list can be very useful for you and your blog. So, why not to try to add them? :)

9. List of Sites Sharing Google AdSense Revenue – if I would ever make my second blog, then it would be done on some of the platforms listed in that article. Most likely, it would be Squidoo. The opportunity of AdSense revenue sharing platform for your blog seems very attractive by this moment. Not sure how it would be in future.

   Check the list whenever you have any extra minute.

10. List of Mnemonics for beginning bloggers and webmasters. If you are using rare characters like “&” or “$” in titles, then this list of mnemonics should become your close friend :)

    I have not found any english alternative for that list of mnemonics, so use Google Translate service or Google toolbar to understand the gist of the article, if you really want it. Because, actually, you need only the list itself, which is provided pretty much clearly.

4 Unexplored Blogging Resources to Get More Extra Traffic

1. Stumpedia is the human powered search of links. You can submit any link to this directory – just like with the stories submissions. You can also find friends, join or create groups and search for some interesting stuff for yourself.

   I’d call Stumpedia a “social directory for your links”, which is fair in my opinion. Try it, this stuff is new, fresh and juicy!

2. Plaxo is a big address book and a way to stay connected with your friends, just like in Twitter or Facebook. You can also share any stuff with your contacts and Plaxo will not limit the number of characters of your messages – a big plus. You can also run polls, which is cool :)

3. Virb is the combination of Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, YouTube and Flickr.. I guess. I’ve been online there for several hours.. listening to some music and running through it. This social network is fast with a big number of daily visitors. And I should admit that I fell in love with it, because it really has a lot of potential web traffic for you website or blog. Test it.

4. Blastoff Network – is… I’m really not sure what it is. They promise you can make money, you can blast something and it’s convenient. This is how I have understood them.

   Anyways, thanks to Ileane Smith for showing this. I think it is a kind of discovery, that should be investigated a little bit more deeper.. and bookmarked, of course.

3 Ex-Bookmarks as a Bonus

1. Blog about Positive Thinking – or Maxos.ru . It is in russian, but I highly recommend it for those, who feel that it is time to fight the negativeness within you.

2. Uxbooth – a blog, that I have bookmarked, because of its design. It was long time ago and this blog was one of the first ones with unusual and great web design for me.

3. Websitebabble forum by Lisa Irby from 2CreateAWebsite.com.

   This forum is full of beginning bloggers, future webmasters and occasional visitors. I hope you know what to do with this kind of traffic :)

***

Well.. no more ex-bookmarks. Now there are only 2 for you! Get traffic, earn money, improve your blogging and make new friends with these 2 parts of proven bookmarked websites, web services and web tools.

Video Dessert: «Jessica Alba The Stare Response on ibeatyou»

This is Jessica’s entry for the “ibeatyou” stare competition. Try to stare at her as long as she does :)

When I was doing my latest post – Insane List of 140 Do Follow & Nofollow Blogs with CommentLuv 2010, I’ve noticed several strange things about do follow and nofollow blogs. Theoretically, a nofollow blog should rank better, than a do follow blog, because a nofollow blog doesn’t share its ranking in links. So, it means, that it stores it for itself. You know that. Nothing new. But..

Ok, let’s compare several pair of blogs from my list of blogs with CommentLuv. In this case, the “pair” is a do follow blog and a nofollow blog with similar Google pagerank and Alexa ranking.

Do Follow VS Nofollow: Round 1

blog.hichamaged.net (will be “A”) and www.jhsiess.com (will be “B”). Their Google pageranks are both 4. And both of them have appr. 219,000 of Alexa (by the 21st of Dec. 2009). A is a nofollow blog and B is a do follow blog. Ok with that.

Niches

A’s niche is “life, personal, psychology” and B’s niche is “life, death, personal”. Well.. the same boring, I guess :)

Compete Ranks

Use popuri.us to check my work. So.. A has 825,263 and B has 263,443. The lower means the better. Seems like B is winning. Let’s go further.

Yahoo backlinks

A has 18,449 and B – 18,120. Almost the same, so nobody wins this time.

Archives

A’s archive and B’s archive. Don’t count the total amount of their posts. You can visually decide, that A’s got twice more, than B.

Wait a minute.. A is nofollow and it has so many posts! This blog lives longer and it should be ranked better, than B. But considering the fact, that they have pagerank 4, B wins with less posts, because it has gained its rank faster. And it has better Alexa ranking, which means there is more website traffic running on this blog.

Summary

www.jhsiess.com, which is B and a do follow blog, wins.

Do Follow VS Nofollow: Round 2

eblogtip.com (as “A”) and www.andrewkeir.com (as “B”). Both of them have Google pagerank 2 and Alexa – ~176,000. A is a do follow and B is nofollow.

Niches

A’s niche is mostly “blogging, design”, B’s niche is “blogging, money etc”. Almost the same.

Compete Ranks

A has N/A. B has 238,011. Technically, B wins.

Yahoo backlinks

A – 6,466, B – 744. It’s clear, that A wins.

Archives

B has about 185 posts and the first one was posted on October 19th, 2008. A has twice less – 98 posts by today, and the oldest post was published on Sept. 28th, 2009.

Summary

A wins, because it has twice less posts, it is younger and it has much more of backlinks. Remember, that A is a do follow blog?

Do Follow VS Nofollow: Final Conclusion

No doubt, that do follow blog is better, because you get high-ranked much more faster. Why? Maybe it’s because the majority of your visitors are those, who wants to comment. Or maybe those, who comment, eventually do some kind of an external promotion, which surely do the best for you and your blog.

What do you think?

Are those parameters, that I’ve used, enough for a total comparison of do follow and nofollow blogs? Maybe there is something else, that should change the final result of this experiment?

I’ll gladly accept your opinions.

Video Dessert: «Dramatic Cat»

Insane dramatic cat… watching TV and then…

Alright! At last! 4 full days or about 36 hours of searching and filtering and now it’s done. Simply insane list of 140 do follow and nollow blogs. Moreover, I’ve sorted all of them out. Now you are able to pick those, which are better.

How are they sorted?
By Google pagerank, Alexa ranking, and this time I’ve added some notes, that will help you to search those blogs, that relate to your niche.

How this list supposed to help you?
You can get lots of external links from other blogs to your site. The only thing you have to do is to leave good comments. Don’t spam :) It is useless and pointless.

What is CommentLuv?
This is a wordpress plugin, that adds a link to the latest post of the comment’s author. More about CommentLuv.

Why is this list so perfect?
Well.. First of all, it’s compiled from about 900 websites. I’ve found them on the first 15 pages of Google search with the following phrase – cumment luv dofollow. I’ve looked for all the most valuable lists.
It was really hard, because almost all of the provided links were dead. But.. a little bit of patience and everything’s done now :)

About notes
As you can see, I’ve added some notes, but not to every listed blog. Why is that? That is because those blogs, that don’t have any note, relate to my niche and I will, probably, use for commenting.

Why notes are so short?
I save your time :) It would be better for SEO to make several-lines-notes, but that wouldn’t look compact.

What’s my niche?
Look under my logo above :) It says “Speaking about website traffic & promotion”. Well.. Of course it’s not so easy to fit my niche for so many blogs. But I’m going to use also “make money online”, “tech”, “blogging tips” and “internet marketing” blogs for commenting. Rather close, isn’t it? Anyway, I think it’s my targeted traffic :)

Why 2010 again?
Because these dofollow and nofollow blogs will, probably, work in 2010, as most of them do now. Anyways, this list will be updated after each Google PageRank update.

How to treat “+”, “-”, “?” in the scheme?
Example 1: “example.com – (-;-) – 5 – 201,471 – rare”. From this example you can see that michaeltorbert.com author’s link in comment is “nofollow” and the CommentLuv’s link is also “nofollow”. Google pagerank is 5 and Alexa ranking is 201,471. The note says, that this blog publishes new posts rarely.
Example 2: “example2.com – (+;-) – 3 – 1,305,531 – tech, writing, very rare”. From this example you can see that inkthinkerblog.com author’s link in comment is “do follow”, but CommentLuv’s link is “nofollow”. The note says, that the current blog relates to the niche about technologies and writing. “Very rare” means, that the author of this blog publishes new posts extremely rare >.<, so there won't be much work with commenting on this blog.

Example 3: “example3.com – (+;?) – 3 – 25,578 – fast growth”. From this example you can see that example3.com author’s link in comment is “do follow”, but CommentLuv’s link is whether dofollow or nofollow and there’s no exact explanation why it’s not exact. Contact that blog’s author for more details. The note says, that this blog has very fast promotion. You better stick to what’s going on it.

So.. I hope I’ve answered most of the possible questions.

Scheme of the list: “URL – (+/-/?;+/-/?) – Google pagerank – Alexa ranking – Note”

A lot of work, right? Basically, because I started blogging not so long time ago, I’ve made this list for myself :) So, you can see, that I didn’t regret my time. Good luck, dear commenters!

PS: “Almost dead” changed to “Barely Active” :)

Today’s Dessert: Robot Boys’ Awesome Dance

Winner of Talent 2008 Denmark – Robot Boys. These guys are amazing dancers and entertainers. They won the final, and the prize money of 250,000 danish kroner. Watch…

The easiest way to get your first (or extra) external links is to submit your pages (links) to social bookmarking websites. But then come several problems. What are the best social bookmarking sites? What’s better: “nofollow” or “dofollow” links? I’ve prepared the answers..

Firstly.. what means “nofollow” and “dofollow”?

1) NoFollow – this means, that Google’s crawlers will not follow and will not index your link. The posted link won’t be counted as an external link.. though it’ll bring you some fresh direct traffic! Cool, huh?

How do they look like?

PS Search engines like Yahoo don’t mind your “nofollow” links. They simply ignore “nofollow” attributes.

2) DoFollow – actually, there is no any “dofollow” meta tag. But that’s how is called a link, when it has no “nofollow” attribute. The good news is that search engine robots will index your “dofollow” links and that will raise your position in search results according to PR of the website, where you’ve submitted your link. Confused about that?
Check out this example.

OK, I hope the above info is clear enough. Now meet my collection of the best social bookmarking sites divided into “no follow” and “do follow” categories.
