I have installed a WordPress plugin that removes the nofollow attribute from all the comments on this website.
I have never really been a fan of nofollow and I think it’s only fair that good comments should be rewarded with a backlink.
So fell free to leave a comment on any article or post here and your backlink will be marked as followed. I use Akismet for spam filtering, so any spam will still be blocked.
Hi there,
NoFollow free is cool. I have also opened my blog. Go have a look.
How about we exchange links, I’ll add you to my blogroll. Just email me the details.
Nice blog.
I agree, good comments should have the opportunity to be seen. As well as adding to the backlinks to your blog, comments are often a major part of the content. I will investigate this, although I think with WordPress 2.7 you have the opportunity to make comments Follow, or is it only Posts… Worth checking… Thanks
very nice
google introduced no follow to seel thier paid search through adword
Also in agreeance ,thank you for the post.
Just discovered your site and an awsome resource.
Yeah, I don’t think any plugins are going to save this blog from its garbage content.
Good try though
Thanks for the very constructive criticism there.
what a great post, i like it
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made.
I’ve been trying to get the word out too!
Wow, this is very kewl. I have not found any other web sites that secify that they do not have nofollow links. It is great what you are doing. Thanks again!

Do someone know a similar plugin for Joomla?
Good for you. THe lack of spam on your comments is either a testament to your moderation skills or your anti-spam software.
I am considering making my blog a “do-follow” blog as well.

Have you seen an increase in traffic after doing this? Would be cool to see some kind of follow up post.
thanks for sharing the great post. Hope to get mote post from you
That’s great news. Do follow is always welcome. I hope lot of webmasters will follow you on this. By the way which plugin did you use to make these changes.
That’s a good move from your side.
But people who make good comments doesn’t see if the blog is follow or dofollow.
Cool man you rock. I never realised that blogs are auto no-follow
Hey great idea.Anybody Knows a list about blog follow links?
I like this idea. It attracts commenters and therefore attracts visitors.
Sometimes webmasters have to use nofollow because of the heavy spamming. Nowadays there are lots of software which automatically posts to your blogs. These spam attempts force many dofollow blogs to switch to nofollow.
Hi
Do you have any before and after stats regarding trafic/rank?
Hey that a great as you mentioned nofollow free also the blogs yes that’s a fair deal every gpood commenter should gain the benefit for there work.
I don’t think that’s so easy as need to take efforts for building quality links,anyways will definetely try your search the plugins thnx.old chevrolet trucks
With all the blogs out there with material on them with a ton of rubbish it’s nice to find a blog whose admin takes the time to construct good information. TY for the good post.
Thats really cool. I have put the NoFollow Free wordpress plugin on my site. I really am not a big fan of nofollow. I think akismet is a pretty good way to filter spam as well as moderating comments. I think the nofollow attribute has done more harm than good.
NoFollow Free blogs are the way forward, its only right that those commenting on a blog should get some of the credit for any good content that they write. Maximum props for doing this and keep up the good work!
The attribute rel=”nofollow” for hypertext links in HTML web pages was originally proposed as a way to limit the effect of blog and forum comment spam on search engines’ indexes. However, the proposal has some serious drawbacks. We want you to watch the spread of nofollow and support us. We give you some very good reasons against nofollow and show you that there are a lot of people out there, thinking like we do.
There are a lot of bloggers out there who are not aware that the attribute rel=”nofollow” is set up as default in comments in WordPress.
I hope that the word will spread and more bloggers disable the nofollow attribute on their blog. there are plugins available for this.
The reality is that the nofollow tag is hurting bloggers and not fighting spam and people commenting should receive credit for the contributions they make to a blog’s content.
well, i was really happy to read that someone knows that good comment need to rewarded. I really appreciate your effort getting all the nofollow out of the picture. Thanks a lot ^^
