Time for blogrolling

Posted November 6 in Life.

As the traffic from CSS Reboot dies down and we all try to keep visitors coming to our blogs, it’s important that we link to each other to get exposure. This is the whole point of blogrolls. Do you know why top blogs are so famous? Because everyone has a link to them in their blogroll.

So let’s link to each other. It will allow us to “share the wealth” and keep in touch, too. If you would like to add me to your blogroll, you can list me as “Montoya.” Something like:

<a href="http://montoya.rdpdesign.com">Montoya</a>

would be perfect. Maybe we can “blogroll” each other. Go for it!

    I’ve added you to my links page; your blog entries are interesting so far and I’d like to keep up to date :)

    blogrolling is a good idea :) to make things easier, rebooters can use my del.icio.us css reboot tag –>

    Hi
    with:rel-nofollow you told me a spammer and I hope your link in your blogroll has no_rel external nofollow ;)

    If I ‘ll find a link to my WebDesign than your url is a guest in my blogroll, if not… ;) - I can delete your link after a week
    kindly regards..
    spammer Monika

    I see, I’ve been trying to get rid of that rel=nofollow, I’ll see what I can do. Thanks.

  7. C Montoya November 8, 2005

    Ok, I looked into it… if you look at my blogroll links, you will see that they don’t have rel=nofollow. I just put rel=nofollow in the comments to prevent spam.

    Monika, ich heiBe Montoya, nicht “Montanoya.”

    Montoya
    “ooops” where is the “get red smilie” …
    sorry :-(

    nofollow doesn’t prevent any spam in comments, …:-(
    but it kills the internet.

    every month new anti spam pluggins if rel nofollow does prevent spam we need no antispam plugin.
    have a nice day and I hope your name is now correct. ;-) Monika

    Well, the nofollow doesn’t come with a plugin, it comes default with Wordpress. I might change it, but from what I’ve heard “nofollow” does deter spammers, since they use links to boost their search engine ranking. Why do you want “nofollow” removed?

  11. Monika November 9, 2005

    Hi
    “”Why do you want “nofollow” removed?”"

    because Google doesn’t follow a link with nofollow — pagerank isn’t necessary– it is only a google marketing campagne .
    Google has opened Pandora’s box of pagerank–and know Google gives us an instrument to close Pandora’s box -but everyone knows that nobody can do this. ;) and at the end of this instrument to “close” this box googlebot doesnt follow a link..
    I understand that a webmaster wouldn’t like to share his pagerank..but nobody can explain me why it is necessary to kill the web?
    It doesn’t make sense.
    Nofollow a link couldn’t be the sense of web…never ever.

    Blogrolling is the same:share links and so we all get a better pagerank. That is the problem of google and its box - not mines not yours. Why should we be more Catholic than the Pope?

    [oh my dear I discuss pagerank and backlink and nofollow in english!- ] ;)

    have a nice day
    Monika

    Well, that’s a very convincing argument. I’ll try to see if I can remove the rel=nofollow. Thanks.

    Thanks so much Jem! It worked, no more rel=nofollow!
