U know google loves links. It is one of a criteria to boost your page rank. By default, wordpress will put "nofollow` tag to every commented posts when u put your URI. Even tough u commented alot to a blog, u wont be rewarded with higher links. Im suggesting each of us to remove that behavior by adding Dofollow wordpress plugin. Of course u need good spam plugin or moderated comments. what say u? more read here

      Yeah, I was planning on adding it soon... Just have to find the time

    Kucau,

    I've already added this plug-in since seeing it on your site yesterday. Thanks for the lead.

    Be well,
    Bob

    bobsouer, ermmm . i should put my comment on your site now, hehe. i think i should list out blogcatalog users who had this plugin to encourage commenting?
  3. WonderWoman
    Google won't even accept my blog. blah blah... I'm too impatient to try to figure it out.
  4. crkian
    I added it about a week ago not sure if anyone has been affected

    Hi guys, i`ve started a list of blogcatalog users who removed nofollow attribute from comments. I hope by providing this list we can help each other to push Google Page Rank on our blogs. The list is here:

    www.kucau.net/wp/blog-worth-commenting/

    Anybody who has removed nofollow attribute can be listed here , just put your website and blogcatalog`s profile page on this page:

    www.kucau.net/wp/2007/05/01/dofollow-wordpress-plugin/

    remember, try to comment on these blogs as this will help your page rank. TQ

    Kucau good topic. How about changing links within BlogCatalog community? Here's mine formula-andy.blogspot.com and I'll add to my blog everyone that would like to make the link exchange.

    Let's show our mutual respect and support to each other, that would be the first step to increase our PR.

    Keep well, Andy.
    1. Rohen
      I totally agree with KaigulaAndy, this is mine (vapaeso.blogspot.com/). I am adding your site to mine. Let me know when you do the same. Does anyone else want to trade links? It's even better if the blogs are related to each other. Check my blog out as it's difficult for me to describe my niche, but basically it's about what the internet can do for us, being generating profits, new services, new fads, new technology etc...

      PS - BTW your pic post, "Nature's got a Twisted Sense of Humor" is hilarious!!!

    ermm dont get me wrong . i prefer to list a blog which has removed Nofollow tag . having said that, link exchange is another good way to help in PR. For blogspot user , u can google on howto remove the nofollow tag.

    Andy, im adding u to my blogroll. :). If u have removed Nofollow tag later, please inform me as your blog will be shifted to NoFollow list
    1. Rohen
      Ok, I see that NoFollow would render trading links completley useless. I didn't know about that, how would you go about removing it. Thanks.
  8. kucau
    rohen , u can remove blogger nofollow tag by following the instruction here

    betabloggerfordummies.blogspot.com/2007/03/remove-nofollow-attribute-on-com...
    1. Rohen
      For some reason Blogger isn't me letting me add the code for No Follow Attribute on Comments. It comes up as NOT FOUND Error 404. I checked Blogger Status and it's ok. Oh well, I'll go and eat something and figure out what's wrong after I have some food in my belly.
    2. MadameX
      I don't think that you want to ADD code to blogger--if I recall correctly, I had to go into the existing code and REMOVE part of it to make links "do follow"
  9. zakman
    I downloaded the dofollow.php from kimmo.suominen.com/sw/dofollow/

    Clear, simple instructions and works right away. Just one dofollow.php to download and uplaod to your plgins directory and activate.

    Of course good to have your Akismet ativated, as well as moderated comments.
    1. kucau
      hi zakman, added u on my list of Dofollow plugin here

      www.kucau.net/wp/blog-worth-commenting/
  10. zakman
    Kucau,

    Very much appreciate adding me on your list! But the URL to my blog reads
    www.celebritybrands.net/:// ... which is obviously incorrect and you get a Page Not Found. Something you can do about that? Thanks!
  11. kucau
    ok, ill fix that zalman. tq for noticing me
  12. DiamondVVV1
    Done ---no major crash and burns so I guess I did it properly. Thanks for the help!

  16. ernestchee

  17. OneEyedView
    I just added dofollow to several of my blogs and have posted on your site. Thanks for the great tip!
  18. WengOnline
    My host doesn't run MySQL 5 yet so I cant run LinkLove, but I run the basic do follow plugin. =)
  19. kucau
    OneeyedView, Wengonline. ive added ur site to my list

    Wengonline , is there significant different between Linklove and Dofollow plugin?
  20. kucau
    Dofollow plugin is not working on my site. Linklove is working fine
  21. amberanique
    I never really understood how the whole page rank thing worked. Does the plugin work for blogger users?
    1. kucau
      the plugin only works for wordpress. for blogger users u can read here:

      betabloggerfordummies.blogspot.com/2007/03/remove-nofollow-attribute-on-com...
  22. syafthegeek
    Wow. I want to give it a try DoFollow Plugin
  23. CarolineMelberg
    I'm moving my blog over to Wordpress and want to add the Do Follow plug-in - what spam plug-in do you recommend? Are you doing moderated comments then on your blog?

    What's LinkLove?
  24. kucau
    Hi caroline, akismet is a good spam plugin for wordpress and its included by default . u can read on howto enable akismet here:

    akismet.com/download/

    Linklove is a another good plugin to remove "nofollow" tag. For Linklove you can set threshold number of comments needed for a commenter before "nofollow" tas is removed. head over to my site for further explanation
  25. kucau
    i`ve put some update to my post about this here:

    www.kucau.net/wp/2007/05/04/dofollow-wordpress-plugin-part-ii/
  26. kathiemt
    I started doing that last month when I read about it. Have a post about it at soho-life.com/blog/
  27. syafthegeek
    Caroline, akismet is the best spam blocker plugin for Wordpress.
    1. AndyBeard
      Akismet is a simple effective solution, not necessarily the best.

      Like a lot of people I choose Spam Karma over Akismet, but you can also use Akismet as an additional calculation procedure within Spam Karma using a plugin.

      Detecting false positives with Akismet is extremely time consuming if you have a lot of blogs.
  28. joezul
    You need to register with Wordpress.com and get an API key to use Akismet. IMHO, it's too much trouble. I choose Spam Karma as it's very straightforward.

    hey....what are all of u talkin abt....pardon me am poor at blogging and what's this PR??? plz answer me na....it's quite interesting i think...
  30. confessing7girl
    well i am def thinking about the u comment i follow movement!! but the problem is that im blogger...and i just want to follow regular visitors like more than 1 comment thing!!
  31. misterdoodi
    We just added the dofollow plugin to our blog, never knew it existed.

    mymookie.net
  32. PetLvr
    Last Spring I removed the no-follow from one of my blogs and used the do-follow plugin. Everything was fine until people like you started to make these lists on the 'net of blogs who DO-Follow - and, my spam increased 12 times normal. By end of summer, I deactivated the plugin and as I'm upgrading to wp v2.3 I've been trying to minimize my activated plugins. This Do-Follow will NOT be missed.
  33. MadameX
    I have, as I mentioned in another reply, made at least some of my blogs "do follow" in comments. However, I wanted to respond to this piece of the initial post: "Even tough u commented alot to a blog, u wont be rewarded with higher links."

    That's how it's supposed to be. It's advantageous, surely, for people to get "credit" for those links until Google figures out a way to separate them out (and they will), but we were never meant to be getting credit for links in comments we left on other people's blogs. The whole reason that Google gives weight to backlinks is that it's an indication that SOMEONE ELSE has found your site or blog worth linking to.
  34. kucau
    ermm, never knew this thread is still alive...
  35. emma53
    I also had that lead on do follow and I had that no follow thing removed from my blogger template just recently. I have no idea if all these linking could improve google ranking but since I'm newbie I just go with the flow along with you, old time blogger. This is my site lifemomento.blogspot.com.
  36. PierceThis2
    Are you saying that when I leave links, like this:
    piercethis2.iuplog.com/
    www.piercethis2.com

    I am not helping my link rating?
  37. thelookout
    Blogspot blog that's do-follow - if anyone wants help setting this up let me know:

    dig-n-share.blogspot.com
  38. XIII
