Stumbleupon Goes Dofollow!

Posted in General

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or get your blog updates by email. Thanks for visiting!


Update: I might have jumped the gun on this post.  If you look at your profile under “grid” ( http://raithe1337.stumbleupon.com/blog/0/grid/ ), the links are dofollow. However, the old “List” format shows them as nofollow still.

Just by doing my daily browsing over at Stumbleupon, I noticed the new user pages look a lot nicer and easier to read. However, upon further inspection it looks like the external links have had the evil “nofollow” tags stripped from the links. This means that not only can Stumbleupon send massive amounts of traffic, but can even send a bit of pagerank and authority over to the sites you like.

Since the grid system on the Stumbleupon profiles is a new thing, the missing nofollow tags might have been an accident that they will fix. Hopefully this is not the case, but until then we can all enjoy traffic and backlinks from using and abusing stumbleupon.

If you don’t mind, I would greatly appreciate it if you added me as a friend on Stumbleupon.

I’m not exactly sure how I can capitalize on this yet, but what the heck, let’s add each other on Stumble!

Very interesting move by Stumble, maybe they want SEOs and spammers to use their system?

I added you as a friend, hope you can return the favour :)

I think that’s great.
Except for all the spammers nowdays on Stumbleupon. I think this will increase them to get those free linkbacks.

I like StumbleUpon, just don’t use it as much as I should.

I like your blog layout and have only just added you to my news reader, Bloglines. Keep up the great job and I would be glad to add you on as a StumbleUpon friend.

I went right over to StumbleUpon but currently you have a R-rating and my settings won’t allow me to see your site.

In my account links is nofollow, even more - in Google cache there are no direct links, just redirects.

Nice find, I thought they were nofollow, but I think this is a good step. At least for me. :)

I tried to add you as a friend, but when I clicked on your profile, it said the account was under review. If it has anything to do with the fact that you asked for Stumble friends, that seems a little scary.

In Google cache they all just redirects like, http://www.stumbleupon.com/dem......apple.com
There are no real links from SU at all.

[...] Unlike Stumbleupon, Stumpedia is DOfollow. [...]

I visited your SU site. What happened? It is claiming that your site is under review?

It looks like SU is starting to ban most of their loyal SU accounts, everybody who get banned start heading over to SiteHoppin.com, where we give you a better traffic exchange program.

I am not too sure about this decision by stumble upon….
