<big>In our effort to grow a valuable guide to [[DomainPage|websites]], we want to give '''link love''' to good sites with good [[AboutUs]] pages.</big>
+
#redirect [[DoFollow]]

Since we don't want to give link love to "bad actors" such as [[ParkedPage|parked]] and [[pac|adult]] sites, scams, etc. we decided to default to [[Wikipedia:Nofollow|NoFollow]]. But unlike many sites ([[Facebook.com|Facebook]], [[Wikipedia.com|Wikipedia]], [[Twitter.com|Twitter]]) that make '''all''' external links added by their users [[Wikipedia:NoFollow|NoFollow]], [[AboutUs.org]] is a place that will remove that NoFollow attribute for people (and sites) making good contributions.

<big>To nominate a website's [[AboutUs]] page for '''"ProFollow"''', please:</big>
−
* 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 <u>[[How to improve AboutUs pages]]</u> page.'''
−
** Note that a [[summary]] (at the top of the page - "click here to sum up"), unique description of the site ('''in your own words, not copy/pasted from the website'''), contact info, and relevant [[tags]] are required for ProFollow (and an [[ImageHelp|image]] is highly encouraged). Instructions and more suggestions can be found '''[[How to improve AboutUs pages|here]]'''.''
