Summary

As many of you know, Wordpress automatically is set up so that comment links are nofollow.

There are bloggers who feel that good comments should be rewarded with dofollow links, and I agree. I’ve now set up my blog where commenters can enjoy an incoming link back to their site.

There are some great plugins and hacks available that you can download to make your blog a dofollow blog. Read the full article

The link to several Wordpress plug-ins you can upload to your blog to make it a "do-follow" zone is an excellent resource.

Hi 5 one n'all ... excellent advice even though I know about the no follow rule it never enters my head when I'm about to comment on a blog I always want to comment because I have something to ad value to the blog I'm commenting on but after landing here I will review my reasons to how why what I will be doing after this comment ... duh?

Cheers folks

I´d never heard of ¨do follow¨links - I´m still a little new to this whole blogging adventure, but now I´ll be able to update my blog with these new features that you mentioned. Thanks for the great info!

How do I know if a blog is already set up for no-follow verses do-follow? I thought they were all set up for follow.

Most blogging platforms are already automatically set up for nofollow. You usually have to do something to make them a do follow blog. The plugin I use only makes comments dofollow only after the person has commented 3 times, which helps keep the spammers away.

I was not aware of the way to make a wordpress blog a do-follow blog, and glad there is spam protection in the process. Thanks for sharing resources and opening your blog up for link benefit.
