In our effort to grow a valuable guide to websites, we want to give link love to good sites with good AboutUs pages.
At the same time, we want to withhold it from "bad actors" such as parking lots, adult sites, scams, etc. (This is why we decided to default to NoFollow.)
To nominate a website's AboutUs page for "ProFollow", please:
- Confirm that the website you would like to ProFollow is a "good actor" on the web
- Edit and build a great domain page for the site here at AboutUs (we want to reward good content) by editing it with the suggestions and instructions on our How to improve AboutUs pages page.
- When the site's page looks great (or if you have questions) [
email us] at 
or come chat with us.
