You Follow, I Follow

I am such a kind person because if you follow me, I’ll do the same as long as you are not a spammer. What am I talking about? Let me give you a situation. If you follow me on twitter, then expect that I will follow you too. But there’s an exception, followers that is following thousands of people and yet you have few updates and that few updates consist only spammy links then expect that will not follow you.

What are the ways to follow me and follow you?

Blog Commenting

There are two subways I can follow you in blog commenting. First, if you comment on my blog, I will remove the nofollow tag in your name and it will be crawled by bots and will be noted as a valid backlink. But that is if you have more than 10 comments on my blog — this is to avoid spams. Second and lastly, if you comment on my blog, there will be chance that I will comment too on your blog. Why only chance? Not all commentators are blogger and not all bloggers deserve a comment.

Twitter, StumbleUpon, BlogCatalog and Technorati

Simple. Follow me on Twitter, add me as a friend in StumbleUpon and BlogCatalog, and favorite me in Technorati and I will do the same to you. To make it easier for us, leave a comment below that you have followed me on those so I can know have done the task.

I know we will both benefit in this and not only me or someone. This is part of promotion (social networking) of my blog and I hope in yours too.

    Hussein, you have a new subscriber, friend on Twitter, Stumble Upon, Blog Catalog, and Technorati.

    My name is thinktaylor on all of them.

    Looking forward to building and growing with you and your blog community.

    Interesting that you don’t follow until 10 comments. I like that idea. You must have been getting a lot of spam in the past. Is that true?

    hi,

    I’ve added you to my twitter ; I’m WebOptimization .

    And about the post : I think it’s fair that you’ll not follow on twitter just anybody and it’s common sense that you’ll not post on all the blogs that post on yours.
    I think that for having comments on your blog you have to work for it by showing that you provide good content frequently.

    Thank you

    @spidro: Ok Thanks for adding. Will add you now. BTW, Thanks for the favorite in technorati. I have favorited you also.

    @Toma Bonciu: Yeah, I received it. I have followed you also.

  6. Freddie says:

    Yeah, i was going to say that Akismet does a great job for me, but then I thought well maybe you just have monster traffic and that is what happens.

    Either way, good stuff, thanks for the support and you will be getting a lot more of me around here, so good luck…LOL!
