What does it do?  It puts Nofollow links on all comments from an individual commenter after a certain number of posts have been accepted.  Then after you post over this number your links will turn to Dofollow links.  This is a Link love reward for your regular posters and a nofollow for the haphazard drop in comment.

The Lucia’s Linky setting to change to dofollow can be between 3 and 10 comments.  This may change as time goes on.

Finding these Blogs
I like to find Blogs with the Lucia’s Dofollow plugin.  I am an avid commenter and I can burn through the minimium in a couple of visits to the blog.  I copy the url of the website and save it to my personal dofollow blog list so I can go back.

Depending on the ranking of the website I may go back as a different person a couple of times for different websites that I want links to.  Normally the name and the email and the website have to all stay the same on all your posts to add together to get to nofollow.

Install the SEO for Firefox Plugin
I use the SEO for Firefox plugin.  This plugin has the option of highlighting the nofollow links on a page.  This starts off with the highlight being such a dark red sometimes you cannot read the link.  I have changed the color on this to a Pink.**   I have an article about Using the SEO for Firefox Plugin.

With SEO for Firefox plugin installed start looking for comments to make.  When you find an article to comment on look at the comments.  If you see some of the comments have nofollow and some of the comments have dofollow you have found a Lucia’s Link site.  Golden.  Take this URL and stick it in a safe place.

What is Article Spinning?
Spinning an article is rewriting the article and then sending the article through a simple program that rewrites the article.

I have found two sites that do it for free. One is more complex and has more options but doesn’t always seem to work. The other I have been using for the last year and it works great. Why they give this away for free I do not know.

This site I use is http://www.spinprofit.com/

How to Spin The Basics.
I write my article based on a keyword. I only use the keyword once per paragraph. Most of my paragraphs have 2 or 3 sentences with a title for each paragraph. That is just the way I write and the way I like to read. I always finish writing the whole article before I spin. This way the flow of the article is usually better.

I am going to rewrite the first sentence in the last paragraph as an example.

[Normally I will|I| I always|First I] write [the|my] article [around a|based on a single|on a] keyword.

The software will spin this article by using one section of each of bracketed areas.

In different versions of this sentence it will come out.

Normally I will write the article around a keyword.
I write the my article based on a single keyword.
I always write the article on a keyword.

I think you get the point. I usually spend about as much time spinning the article as I do writing the article. But my results are way bigger. I get at least 9 more articles from the time I spend spinning.

Spinning Tips
I like to give different numbers of words in the different options of the spin like the first bracket in my example [Normally I will|I| I always|First I]. This gets different numbers of words in all your articles.

I do not spin the keyword for the article because then I get too many of the keywords in the article. For example the keyword for the previous sentence might be “article”. Notice I did not spin that word.

I try to change the main words in the bracket if I can. I like to add large adjectives into the sentence.

Another example:

The dog jumped over the fence.

The [brown dog|old chocolate Lab|frishy old Lab|dog] [flew|jumped|easily jumped] over the [white fence|white picket fence|rickety old white fence|fence].

The spin changes the sentence by giving more or less information on the subjects.

Articles as Ammo
I like have lots of articles I can use. Since most of the paragraphs I write can stand on their own I will uses one of my spins as filler. When I am working on an article and I want a little more filler I will grab a paragraph out of my Ammo Box. I delete paragraphs as I use them from my ammo box so I don’t reuse them.

Article Spinning can help with the constant demand for more content.  Yes you are just putting the same content up as the unspun article but you are able to put your information in more places.

This is a Dofollow Blog. I approve all comments so if it is not relevant do not bother… I reward relevent comments with a live link.

Simple answer.  While playing around in the last few days —actually hard work.  I built and submited 5 articles to several different directories.  I won’t mention the other names but they are all the top rated in some of the top ten lists around.

Any way it is 4 days later.  I just checked, and one of my ezine articles went through right away and two more went through a couple of hours ago.  Traffic.  The article that went through right away has already had 118 people look at it and 14 of them have gone to my website—this website—.

I just checked some of the other directories.  One of them all six articles are up.  One article has been viewed 6 times one 5 and the others once.   There have been a total of 16 people look at the articles and I believe 6 of those were the people who okayed the article.

Traffic to your articles is what Ezine articles offers.

How you write your articles matters. I think there are two ways to write an Ezine Article.

Going for the Click
One way is to go for the reader to click the link to go to your website.  In the articles that I have gotten over 15 percent of the readers to go to my website I get very few uploads of the page to other sites.   My best going for the click article so far got over a 40 percent click through rate.  It was a freak.  I have only written a few that have gotten over 25 percent but I am still going for the 40 percent click articles.

Going for the link
If you write a good informative article but do not push hard to get the reader to click to your website then more ezines and more websites will use your article on their site.  This will get you more back links.

Going for both Clicks and Links
You can resubmit the article with a significant rewrite after a few weeks from your previous article being accepted.  If your first article went for the click your second article can go for the link. It is fun to play with changing around the title to see what works better also.

Most Important Part of the article?
The author box is the most critical part of your article.  Pull the curtain down and tickle them from behind the curtain.  Make certain that they  want to go to your website to scratch the itch you created. 

I have started writing long author boxes. I put a link early in the box with the keyword for the article linking to one of my websites. I then write another informational paragraph. I then close it up with my name and the other link to my site. The first link becomes truly an in content link. According to the testing done by Jon Leger, Yahoo ranks a in content link higher than a link page link.

I have found Ezine Articles to be the toughest to get articles through. They are good practice for submitting articles because they force me to write better articles. Thanks EA..

IM by Rick is a dofollow Blog.  I give you link love for your comments.  Spread the word.  Link love given from IMbyRick.com.

Develop a list of dofollow blogs in and around your website niche.  How you do this will be the subject of another article.

Become a regular poster on these blogs.  As you develop more and more of your own pages link to them.  As soon as I post a new page I back it up with a post to a link from a nofollow blog.  I also reward the nofollow blog a little boost by bookmarking the page.

A Penny for my thoughts.

Let me explain about that post.  I always make the post relevant.  Often over 50 words and on topic.  I use the tips for my Building Links 101.  As I state in that article pay a lot of attension to the name you use.

Lucia’s Linky Love Plugin
Lets you set the limits on giving links to comments. The owner of the blog can set this to 3 to 10. If set to 3 then comments will be nofollow until they have 3 comments approved. There are also some other features to this plugin. Very well thought out.

I also look for blogs set up with Lucia’s link love. They usually are well thought out blogs. My comments are almost always accepted so the 3-10 limit is no big deal. It makes me get a little aggressive at commenting on their blog at first. I really like to get over the hump quickly.

IM by Rick is a Dofollow Blog.  All comments are moderated.

What is No follow.
From Wikipedia the definition is
“nofollow is an HTML attribute value used to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring.”

This means that with a nofollow put into the link Google will not follow or count the link against the person who owns the website but also will not count the link as a plus to the writer of the comment.

Most blogs now automatically include nofollow in the comments.

I disagree with Nofollow
Why I totally disagree with nofollow. I moderate all comments. My thank you for an actual comment it the active link. If I get even a whiff of you not reading the article and leaving a comment you are toast.

Why should the content you are putting on my website not benefit you as well as me?

I love comments.. State your thoughts on this one.

I Give you Link love
Any comment I approve from this blog will not have the nofollow attribute activated.  It is very easy getting link love from me.

This is a Dofollow Blog.  We love comments.
