I typically add "-blogspot.com" to my search query. I do this with all the blogger domains because they all use nofollow. I look forward to checking out the list of "do follow" blogs.

Lately, I've kind of adopted a natural strategy by pretty much randomizing my link building efforts. There's something oxymoronic about "engineering" a natural link building campaign. I do have a set of resources for every client, but I apply them in pretty much a random fashion. There's virtually no footprint. Even I don't really keep track of what I did and when. I know that may sound amateurish to a lot of SEO people but I've been in the business for 10 years and get to page 1 for all my clients, or they don't pay me a dime.

I find that as long as I generate a 'rounded blend' of dofollow and nofollow links to my client sites (especially now that Google appears to give weight - even though no "link juice" as such - to nofollow links, too), a positive increase in rankings follows accordingly. As an example, I am happy to run a keyword-rich link to one of my client's sites (in this instance, a site promoting digital dictation and business process management products and service offerings) using <a href="http://www.winscribe.com/Solutions/Digital-Dictation/default.aspx">digital dictation</a> as the anchor text -- regardless of whether or not you allow it to be "dofollow" or "nofollow". It's as much about being "natural" and having related content in the immediate vacinity of the link (see my reference to: "...a site promoting digital dictation and business process management products and service offerings..." as an example of exactly that) as it is to having a dofollow attribute to pass on "link juice". Love to hear your thoughts on this - especially now that three years has passed since you first wrote the above article.
