I HUG my Twitter! I heard that Twitter is going to take over Google…..now, where did I hear that from? Regardless, although I am not blacklisted, I pissed off the Almighty Google too – by not updating removed blog links in my robots.txt >,<

Have you looked at the new incoming links and the anchor text they use? I know there are sites that list blogs with DoFollow policies but that probably wouldn’t account for all of them.

It would be interesting to know what the increased links are targeting on your blog.

I am wondering if perhaps I am getting BETTER traffic. Maybe people that follow links like yours are more prone to pay their authors (bloggers) with ad investigation and remarks and checking out the sites more, digging or saving links????

Just a thought that occurs. I know I get some google traffic but I am not sure how many actually stay around long enough to comment on articles. Tracking is out of my control on ehow.

I would like to experimient sometime after I reach my next moentary plateau. ALRADY

“The Internet is actually about PEOPLE and not about Google or any other company!” that exactly what it should be. Good article!

You definitely have lowered your executional risk by going with a strategy that isn’t dependent on the largesse of search engines.

I’m curious about your change in Google traffic. Are you measuring that in absolute numbers or as a percentage of total traffic sources? Just wondering if do-follow is increasing traffic from other sources, so Google as a percentage is down.

Even if the absolute numbers are down, that’s not entirely surprising. Commenting for link juice strikes me as one of those practices that Google would like to stamp out, even though they’ll take many good, legitimate comments with them.

I was never receiving all that much traffic from Google to begin with, or any traffic at all, so I went on my campaign of first commenting on other people’s blogs that I had an interest in, then adding CommentLuv for dofollow links. Since then, I’ve had a drastic increase in followers and commenters, and my Google traffic has remained the same. This works for me.
