Dofollows Part II

By Colleen, on December 18th, 2008%

This post started as a follow-on comment to my post “Not All Dofollows are created Equal,” but it started to get long and linky, so it became a new post. In the previous dofollow post, I was wondering why, given the number of comments I write on other blogs, I get so few inbound links from comments, and so few inbound links on my WP dashboard in general.

Permit me to take a break from providing you the high quality dorkage that you’ve come to take for granted and let off a major bitchy rant. If I don’t do this I’m going to blow a gasket! What’s causing my consternation? Rampant mediocrity! Basically I am fed up with sucky blogs. Why do we put up with sucky blogs? In theory free market Darwinism would cause them to wither away, so I can only venture a guess that there is still a need for education on just what constitutes a sucky blog. Perhaps you aren’t so confident a blog connoisseur. If not, please allow an experienced dork to educate you.

How do you know if your blog sucks? Some clues….
