Using DoFollow to give Google Juice
by bigpresh on Mar.28, 2007, under Uncategorized
Meant to post about this a while ago. I’ve set up the DoFollow plugin, which disables the automatic rel=”nofollow” that WP adds to links to combat comment spamming. Akismet is doing a pretty fine job at catching spam, and I mostly moderate comments anyway, so I’m happy to provide Google Juice to people whose links end up on here :)
You can set DoFollow up to remove the rel=”nofollow” restriction only for comments older than a few days old, so even if spam does get on here, it’d have to stay for a few days before it’d have any effect – it would have been deleted within that time.

Great post as you have explained the consequences of dofollow very thoroughly. Having said that I intend leaving my blog as a dofollow as I don’t really care what Google thinks of it.

There just have been too many options for people to choose from. Often, the choices are so many that people end up choosing a web hosting provider that comes to them first. In doing so, they just might not have made the best choice possible.

Thank you for the dofollow. I too set all my blogs to dofollow also, it is such a simple way to say thank you for stopping by. As for spam, I would get that anyway as most of what I receive is spam bots anyway. I doubt the bots worry about dofollow or nofollow, as I am sure the links are for random clicks/traffic and not for SEO.

Awesome! I am completely blown away. I don’t know how I ever worked without it.
