ProFollow
In our effort to grow a valuable guide to websites, we want to give link love to good sites with good AboutUs pages.
Since we don't want to give link love to "bad actors" such as parked and adult sites, scams, etc. we decided to default to NoFollow. But unlike many sites (Facebook, Wikipedia, Twitter) that make all external links added by their users NoFollow, AboutUs.org is a place that will remove that NoFollow attribute and give "DoFollow" link to people (and sites) making good contributions.
To nominate a website's AboutUs page for "ProFollow", please:
- 1) Edit and build a great domain page for the site here at AboutUs (we want to reward good content). There are instructions on our How to improve AboutUs pages page. Required elements:
- 2) When the site's page looks great (or if you have questions):
- email us at
(subject = "ProFollow") - or chat with us (works best Mon-Fri 9:30-5:30 PST)
- email us at
