“Dofollow Blogs” are those that remove the common rel=”nofollow” tag from the website URL of those commenting on the site. This means that if you leave a comment on the blog along with a link to your site, you may receive more “link juice” from it to help your Page rank.
Many bloggers or cms-powered sites have begun to allow users to submit “dofollow” links in order to encourage commenting on their sites. For some it proves to be very effective, while for others it as a negative impact on their SEO.
At one point WPExplorer was functioning as a dofollow comment blog, however, this lead to hundreds of daily comments, many of which were basically spam.
