Do Follow links on Squidoo?

[JFVJ]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if it is possible to make a squidoo page and put in there a DoFollow link. I have tryed some modules like Big Arrow Link, Link List, Text module and Links Voting (Plexo), and all of them make my link as NoFollow.

Is there anyway to fix this and make them DoFollow?

Thanks so much
Fabio

There is no such thing as dofollow. There is no follow and leaving
it off--just a regular link.

Squidoo links you post as texts in modules do not have the no follow tag.

You can only put 9 outgoing links to same domain or they will suspend you.

This count does not include links in your blog or twitter feed, but since these
are gotten by javascript, the point is moot.

I also believe that adding the big picture module and hyperlinking that to
a website does not count in the total of 9 as well.

The comments you leave on other lenses are no follow.

Can´t you use anchor text links that are DoFollow by Google?

You need 3-4 'modules' ( eg text boxes etc.) on the lens and then your links automatically become 'dofollow'. I forget the exact number off hand but it's either three or four.

I have no idea what that means.

There is no dofollow and you can't force google to do anything.

Google chooses to count a backlink only when "they" feel like it.

But it really does not matter to me. Backlinks and the money I get from squidoo
are just icing on the cake. I use it mainly for funneling, not backlinks.

Squidoo has made some adjustments to the "no follow." Normal users won't
need to worry.

Four modules, If I recall correctly, are needed to prevent the links from turning into nofollow. And the intro text module does not count.

This looks like a lot of work, but for an important/personal site it might be really good?

Or do you mean you can actually advertise up to 9 sites?

[AndyBlackSEO]

Yes, until you have built a lens up with 3 - 4 modules it will stay in 'WIP' mode which means 'work in progress'. After then, in your Lens view, you will see a green tick. That means that your lens is out of WIP mode and will have dofollow links.

Thank you very much everyone. I will try out and see how it works.

Why do people do this? Posting something that is false,
not reading the previous answers, looking like a clown.

If you are going to make simple, one line answers, at least
let it be a joke or give some explanation.

To just post a cargo answer that is false is just a waste of
WF time.

I did not quite understand..i need do follow links to get my gaming news site crawled faster by Google..Will Squidoo help me?

[Adu88]

or do you know any other ways to get crawled faster?

[gittar1122]

All links in comments in squidoo are not nodofollow there are some lenses having dofollow attribute in their comment section.

First of all, no follow links do get crawled by google. Also, previous posters in this thread have already stated that squidoo links are do follow as long as your lens has at least four modules. Which is good practice to do anyways

Good luck!

I am into linkbuilding and looking into Squidoo. I am trying to make keyword links with html link code in the comment section but I am not able to because I am triggering a Spam filter. I don't know why because I see lots of comments doing exact the same and even far worse by only adding keyword links and not even making a comment. Any idea how this is possible?

[paulgl]

Linkbuilding via squidoo comments is not prudent.
You will look like a spammer.

Some people turn off html in comments. I do.
Some may leave it, and delete some.
Squidoo may a have newer spam detector now.

The way to get real links on squidoo is to build a lens.

When commenting on Squidoo, I've found it best to link back to your squidoo lens rather than your main site, while having the lens link back to your main site in a text module.

[packerfan]

Just built my first "real" lens. I made one in the past strictly for links and obviously it was terrible. It was actually kind of fun.

I just re-purposed a bunch of content, made a pretty killer lens if I do say so myself. Probably make a few more just cause they're kind of fun!

[richrich123]

If I look at a squidoo page and the source code, I see this:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

So at the start of the page it is saying do not follow or index any content on the page?

[puneet tyagi]

sorry but no dofollow option

What you do is you edit the text module and use the href code to create a hyper link. If you want more information regarding this tips then click here

I have 5 modules, unique content and a good mixture and it is still WIP

I didn't know that squidoo requires 3-4 modules to make links dofollow. anyway, if you're shortchanging squidoo or any other such web 2.0 site just for links without any meaningful and powerful content, it doesn't really make much sense. Somebody is bound to waste your efforts - might be google or squidoo itself.

Focus of making quality content so no one wastes your effort and your link remains intact for long period of time.

I believe you should not worry too much about dofollow or nofollow because if you are only concentrating on dofollow links it looks unnatural in google's eyes and they'll perhaps view your site as spammy.

A good mix of dofollow and no follow is advisable.

I agree but if you are using the web 2.0 page as a buffer sie to protect the money site, it is a total waste of time as your money site will gain no juice from all the links behind.

I am planning to use squidoo. Please give me some idea about the highlighted phrase above. And please provide some information, benefits, anything under squidoo.

Thanks.

Make yourself an account and a post. Then you will understand what the modules are ... in short: some more clicks you have to made in their interface ... good luck!

I have posted a lense in squido, and also an anchored backlink in the lense, and the backlink is DoFollow, I have checked it manually using the Firefox NoDoFollow add-on.
