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.

HI,
The trend of keeping do follow is ever increasing day by day.It seems that the bloggers who comment on the blog must get something in return this is done by do follow blog by the way of giving the benefit of link juice.So more and more no of bloggers are encouraged to comment on the same.

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.
