<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>
−
−
At the same time, we want to withhold it from "bad actors" such as [[parking lots]], [[pac|adult sites]], scams, etc. (This is why we decided to default to [[Wikipedia:Nofollow|NoFollow]].)
−
−
<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), 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]]'''.''

* When the site's page looks great (or if you have questions) [mailto:help@aboutus.org email us] at [http://www.aboutus.org/Special/user/email/EmailAboutUs <email>be142b9d0d036769fdb175e5bfe50270</email>] or [http://blog.aboutus.org/2009/12/14/chat-with-aboutus/ come chat with us].<br><br>
Note: Recently we accidentally made it so that external wiki links are no-follow on all pages, but we are working to get these followed on ProFollow pages again. The main top left link is still followed on ProFollow pages. Sorry about that, and thanks to [http://twitter.com/lordofseo @LordOfSEO] for letting us know.</div>
