DoFollow Links from AboutUs.org
Our external links are NoFollow|What are NoFollow links? by default and we decide to follow links (make them DoFollow|What are DoFollow links?) on some pages after an editorial review.
If you would like us to consider making a page's links DoFollow, please create an informative page about the website on AboutUs.org and let us know.
How to Create a Great AboutUs Page
- Go to your website's page by searching for it (like "example.com") above.
- Create your free account (or sign in) so you can edit the page about your site.
- Click an edit pencil
and start adding content. - Make sure to add helpful information to all the sections. Don't forget: contact info, a unique description of the website (in your own words and that can't be found elsewhere on the Web) in the Wiki section, a logo (this will become a link to your site), and a summary at the top of the page where it says "click here to sum up this website."
For more ideas and instructions on how to edit a site's page, see How to improve AboutUs pages and our main Help page. You can also see examples of great AboutUs pages. Questions? Email DoFollow@AboutUs.org.
Request a Review for DoFollow Links
Once you've edited and improved a page about a website, please request an editorial review by emailing DoFollow@AboutUs.org. Don't forget to include a link to the page you would like reviewed.
We will look at the edits you made to the page, and if they add valuable information for AboutUs.org visitors, we will look at the site you've linked to. If we determine the site is interesting for AboutUs visitors, and that it's relevant to the content you created or edited, we'll remove the rel=nofollow attribute from the links on the page to make them "DoFollow|What are DoFollow links?".
Bonus!
- Because we want to serve up good content and websites, we give pages with DoFollow links a boost in our internal search algorithm.
- If you go above and beyond and create an amazing page, we may include it as an example on Examples of Great AboutUs Pages which is linked to in our footer. Including some links to related websites' pages will help your odds too.
Note: Per our NoFollow policy, we do not follow links on any pages that we were paid to create via our Spotlight service. If you're a Spotlight client and you have questions about this, email us.
