Through my link building efforts for clients, I’ve compiled an extensive list of “dofollow” blogs, forums and web directories. Getting links from quality, dofollow websites is crucial in building domain authority and PageRank. For the record, there’s no such thing as a “dofollow” tag. I’m simply referring to websites that don’t attach a “nofollow” to outbound links as “dofollow.”

Here’s a list of free, SEO directories that dofollow links. As I discover more dofollow directories, I’ll add them to the list. Feel free to suggest any I’ve missed. Also, I’ve grouped them by PageRank, with nothing below a PR 2.

I wanted to share some of my favorite SEO tools and applications. These SEO apps are the best tools the Web has to offer. And they’re FREE.

Rank Checkers

Aaron Wall’s SEO Book is a fantastic resource for every SEO, from newbie to guru. I use Rank Checker and the SEO for Firefox extensions frequently:

• Rank Checker – find out where your website ranks for target keywords in the three major search engines
• SEO for Firefox – get a host of useful, marketing data points for websites, including inbound link stats, PageRank, cache tallies, etc.

Keyword Research

• Google AdWords Keyword Tool – generate target keyword lists using the actual search data from Google

Market Research

• Google Trends – Google Trends shows search trends over periods of time.

Link Analysis

• Yahoo’s Link-Domain Command – (note: this is run for “metarocketseo.com”) just plug in linkdomain:mywebsite.com -site:mywebsite.com to use Yahoo’s Link-Domain and find out who’s linking to you website, or more importantly, who’s linking to your competitor’s websites.
• SEO Link Analysis is a free Firefox extension that shows link anchor text, PageRank and nofollows.
• Yahoo! Site Explorer gives a pretty deep and thorough analysis of incoming link data.
• Link Diagnosis shows you the important information about your competitor’s links, including PageRank, anchor texts, no-follow information and more.
