What Dofollow directory study means
The dofollow directory study is Mydentify's own report counting how many directories in its researched snapshot currently use dofollow links, based on direct checks rather than vendor claims made on a pricing page.
A founder writing about link building can cite this study's counts instead of repeating a vague, unsupported claim like 'most directories give dofollow links,' which nobody reading the article could actually verify on their own.
The study reflects a snapshot in time, not a permanent, constantly updating count. Directories change their link policy from month to month, so the exact numbers can shift as sites update their own rules.
Read the study's methodology section to see exactly how each directory was checked and classified before citing its numbers in your own writing or comparing them to another source.
Why this matters for builders
Use it when you want citeable counts, not a vendor marketing claim.
Mistake builders make often
Some writers cite dofollow directory counts from vague marketing pages instead of a study with a stated method, making the number impossible for a reader to verify.
What to do now
Read Dofollow directories analyzed for citeable counts, then browse the dofollow directory collection for current listings.
