I just ran Ahrefs site explorer on my own site.. and I don't know how accurate the information is but it says aproximately 6 of my backlinks are "do follow" versus literally hundreds that are no "no follow".
I was pretty surprised, since my site has been doing really well in the rankings (despite still being PR 0).
I've been building links by posting comments on blogs quite a bit, so I guess it's no surprise that most of them are "no follow", but I'm still shocked at the ratio.
Should I completely change my strategy and only do guest posts and higher quality backlinks from now on, as well as finding more directories I can submit my site to, and more sites that will exchange links with me? I've seen a few PR4 or PR5 sites that have a link list and offer to exchange links. I'm guessing google is cracking down on this type of crap though, even though it's not a true blackhat link network or anything.
I'm curious what you guys think...
Is it normal for 90-95% of blog comments to be "no follow"?
